How many Thais were caught in the two separate border raids?

Question

Accepted Answer

Thirty-four Thai nationals were apprehended in two separate border raids.

Thirty-four Thai nationals, including six children, were apprehended in two separate raids while attempting to enter Thailand illegally from Malaysia. The individuals were caught riding motorcycles through unofficial "rat trails" to bypass mandatory health screenings at official border checkpoints. Authorities seized a total of 18 motorcycles across both incidents.
First Incident in Saba Yoi

In the initial raid, 29 Thai nationals, comprising 23 adults and six children, were intercepted. They were travelling on 15 motorcycles when they were apprehended in the jungle area of Saba Yoi, Songkhla, near the Malaysian border.
Second Incident in Na Thawi

A subsequent raid near Na Thawi, also in Songkhla, led to the detention of five more Thai nationals. These individuals were found with three motorcycles. Reports indicate that all apprehended individuals are believed to have originated from the same group.
Consequences for Illegal Entry

The apprehended Thai nationals are subject to legal consequences for their actions. They will be required to undergo a mandatory 14-day quarantine period as a public health measure. Additionally, they will face fines for illegally entering the country, as they attempted to circumvent official entry procedures.
