PHUKET: Immigration officers in plain clothes arrested nine Chinese working illegally on Phuket at Kathu Temple today.
The nine - one woman and eight men - are likely to be fined and deported.
Immigration officers in plain clothes went to the temple in central Phuket after being told by locals that the Chinese, all dressed in yellow, were working at the temple, selling souvenirs to tourists.
One of the nine - the woman - produced a passport on request. She could not produce a work permit and the eight men could not produce passports or work permits.
Immigration officers named the arrested nine as Miss A-ming, 38, Chewmar, 22, Bang, 29, Are-aee, 25, Are-ming, 25, Are- kui, 30, Are-hur, 33, Are-ming, 38, and Are-ju, 39.

Just think - if they'd been Australian Bikies and shot someone they could have stayed!
