Thailand Launches Nationwide Crackdown on Illegal Foreign Capital Networks in Southern Tourism Provinces
Thai authorities seized land worth more than one billion baht across Phuket, Krabi, and Phang Nga in a coordinated operation targeting suspected illicit corporate nominee structures and undocumented foreign workers. Backed by the Fourth Army Region, the multi-agency crackdown focused on businesses allegedly linked to unauthorized foreign control in key tourism areas. Officials say the operation is aimed at curbing grey-market investment and restoring compliance in Thailand’s hospitality sector.
