Dealing with scams, Thailand cuts power to 5 Myanmar border areas

Thailand has also stopped supplying oil and broadband internet to the areas, according to The Nation . Thailand’s National Security Council said there was evidence that transnational criminal gangs were operating in some border areas in Myanmar. Last month, the Global New Light of Myanmar reported that the scam centers were supplied with electricity and internet from abroad and were funded by “foreign organizations.” Since October 2023, Myanmar has deported more than 55,000 foreigners, mostly Chinese, who were forced to work in the scam centers.
