Thai police launched a large -scale drug anti -drug operation in Bangkok last October. After that, the Chinese businessman Du Hao was investigated. Behind his forces and huge wealth involved nearly a hundred immigrant bureau officials and police officers to take bribes.Wait for the scandal.A series of ashing operations have damaged the image of Chinese Chinese, and also brought a lot of negative impact on Thai overseas Chinese and new immigrants.
Thailand has recently hit the gray industry strongly, revealing many Chinese businessmen with the right to be powerful, and the involved political and business relations and scandals have become more and more intense, causing some Thai overseas Chinese and new immigrants to worry about the discharge of China.
The large -scale anti -drug operation in Bangkok in Bangkok in October 2022 was the fuse.According to the Bangkok Post, the police seized a large number of drugs in the "Jinling International Night Federation" at that time, of which 104 drugs were tested in Chengyang, including 99 Chinese.
The police then launched an investigation to Chainat Kornchayanan, who was accused of being the owner behind the nightclub. It also led to the "former bathing tycoon" and Chuwit Kamolvisit, the leader of the Thai opposition party to help the police fight against these reasons.Chinese business and walking in the legal gray areas.
After investigation, the hidden forces and huge wealth behind Du Hao were spread under the sun, involving nearly a hundred immigration officials and police officers to accept bribery, which aroused great attention from Thai public opinion.Under the tremendous pressure, Du Hao surrendered on November 23 last year, but denied all allegations such as drug trafficking and money laundering.
On December 9 last year, the Ministry of Justice of Thailand announced that it seized Du Hao's name of more than 3 billion baht (approximately S $ 17 million) assets, including land, luxury homes and sports cars.Du Hao's wife, who was originally a police officer, was also arrested and was charged with money laundering. It has been dismissed and bails have been released. In addition, five police officers were removed from office for suspected bribery.
Thailand police further revealed on Tuesday (January 24) that there are about 80 immigrant police officers, including three general police officers, who are suspected of being a Chinese citizen who is engaged in gray production in Thailand to extend the visa.And criminal allegations.
The Chief Prosecutor of Thailand has approved the control of Du Hao and other 40 suspects last week. The charges include criminal contact with multinational criminal gangs, drug trafficking, money laundering, illegal holding of firearms and ammunition, unauthorized operation entertainment venues and hiring foreign countries.People and other.
This series of ash dynamics has damaged the image of Chinese Thailand, and has also brought a lot of negative impact to overseas Chinese and new immigrants in Thailand.
Toffin (pseudonym, 30 years old, doctoral student), who has been moving from China for 10 years from China, told the United Zard that as the official crack down on gray production, you can feel that Thai society's perception of Chinese people has become negative.
She said: "The Thais mentioned the Chinese when they mentioned the Chinese. At that time, the house was rented to open a company. The landlord thought it was used for telephone fraud and was unwilling to rent. Later
Thai Chinese media reported recently that local Chinese society rumors may conduct large -scale investigations on Chinese passport visas and overseas Chinese enterprises.The person in charge of the police's anti -gray production investigation operation later clarified, "there is no plan to investigate all Chinese people, or the plan to discharge Chinese", but this failed to appease the emotions of Thai Chinese.
Dr. Pagon Gatchalee, a lecturer in the Marketing Department of Chiang Mai University of Thailand, said in an interview with Lianhe Zaobao that from the Thai media reports and messages, it can be seen that some Chinese Chinese people do feel due to the negative effects of the gray production case.anxiety."I think this emotion will only maintain a short time, and it can return to normal soon, but the negative image formed may exist for a long time in Thailand."
I believe it will also have a practical impact on Chinese Chinese.For example, Paton said that the Immigration Department has strengthened the review of the application of non -immigrant visa in the past year, which may affect the visa costs that Chinese people who intend to work in Thailand.
Thai Chinese people may be more difficult to place production, because in the process of ash, the official found that many overseas Chinese borrowed their names, illegally purchased land and luxury homes in Thailand, and stepped on the pain points of the Thai people.Patgun believes that if the next government is elected by the opposition party, it may tighten the relevant regulations of the Chinese and foreigners in Thailand.
If the next government is elected by the opposition party, it may tighten the relevant regulations of Chinese and foreigners in Thailand.

Du Hao created a Chinese gray business empire with the rise of the "hard background"
Thailand worked in Thailand. Du Hao broke through the tourism industry, but behind this bright tourism kingdom was accused of hiding many trading trading in the gray area of the law, Du Hao succeeded in Thailand overnightThe model of Chinese businessmen has become the focus of Chinese gray in Thailand.
Du Hao was born in Shantou City, Guangdong Province in 1974. He went to Thailand to work hard in 1996. He once served as a consultant of the Thai Chinese General Chamber of Commerce and chairman of the Chinese United Supervision Committee.Situing Thailand.
Thai media reports revealed that Du Hao's wife was a police officer and the niece of Pracha Promnok, former chief of the Thai police.Batai served as the deputy prime minister when the former Prime Minister Ying Lat was in charge, and also served as a important position in Thailand's National Security Minister and Minister of Justice.
With such a "hard background", Du Hao's business road was originally smooth.
Some media described Du Hao as the leading figures in Thailand's tourism industry, and built a number of large -scale duty -free shopping malls in Bangkok, Pattaya, Phuket and other places.Its industry spans tourism, finance, real estate and other fields, with nearly 10,000 employees.
Du Hao is said to be the ancestor of the "zero group fee".Before the outbreak of the crown disease, he attracted a large number of Chinese tourists to travel to Thailand with ultra -low -cost tourism facilities.This business model mainly cooperates with tour guides to induce tourists to consume in jewelry shops, latex shops, and tourist commemorative shopping stores he opened, and then divide it with tour guides.However, there are many disadvantages of zero group fees. In 2018, there were tour guides forcing tourists to consume and forced group members to "flee back overnight to return to China."Du Hao was not investigated at the time.
After the police found drugs at Du Hao's nightclub at the end of last year, Shun Teng investigated Du Hao. As a result, many officials and political leaders seemed to have exchanged with him, and the Thai party was involved in the ash vortex.
Thai media said that Du Hao was suspected of purchasing 50 luxury homes through Thai agents and suspected to be a Chinese gathering place for gray.These luxury homes are developed by Thai real estate company SC ASSET, while the Thailand's largest opposition party is the leader of the Thai party and the former Prime Minister Daixin, Peitan, is the company's major shareholder.
However, the Thai party refuted last month that Peitan and Du Hao were linked. The purpose was obviously to discredit her before the election.
The party's citizenship party was accused of receiving Du Hao donated about 120,000 yuan
On the other hand, the Thai ruling party's citizenship party was also accused of accepting 3 million baht (about S $ 116,300) donated by Du Hao.
Bangkok Post reported that Thai social movement Sri Suwang submitted a petition to the Thai Election Supervision Committee on December 6 last year to dissolve the two major Thai political parties, that is, the party and the party and the party and the party.For the Thai party.
The scope of the ash production case has become increasingly larger, and the investigation caused by Du Hao has caused impact on the business and the police world, and the political circles may not be able to escape.The gray production case may not have a significant impact on the Thai election, but it must provide ammunition for politicians to attack each other.
