Six Laotians were detained in Ubon Ratchathani province on Saturday when they were waiting for a Thai man to take them to Bangkok.

At 5pm, police managed to detain three male and three female Laotions in Na Tan district. They said that they were a family looking for jobs in Thailand.

A Thai man who was responsible for taking them to the capital charged each of them Bt2,500 and told them to wait in a house.

They were taken to be screened for Covid-19 while the person who made the deal for their travel was summoned to the police station for investigation.
