The authorities are on vigil for Thai people being smuggled across the border to work or gamble along the border, especially with the risk of Covid-19 being spread.
From April 2021 to date, the Task Force was able to arrest illegal immigrants from Myanmar 13 times; 59 smugglers were found to be coming from northern Myanmar, which has a border with India.
The source said that job openings were announced on the Tachileik side of the entertainment complex called "King horse fly pub 6888", which is located only about a kilometre from the border checkpoint at the Thai-Myanmar Friendship Bridge.
In addition, entertainment venues and hotels with casinos are open again for customers.
