The Royal Thai Immigration has been currently conducting an overstaying crackdown across Thailand dubbed Operation X-ray in some areas and Pattaya is not exempt.
TPN media has reported of multiple overstay arrests and actions taking place across Thailand over the past few days from small overstays, to much longer overstays.
The campaign is officially running from December 1st to December 10th and is aimed at ensuring safety for the upcoming Christmas and New Year’s holidays.
