KANCHANABURI: Thirty-three Myanmar migrants, including nine Rohingya hoping to get to Malaysia, were rounded up overnight after they crossed the border illegally in Sangkhla Buri district.
A joint military-police-civilian patrol spotted the group hiding in a forested area near the Hin Sam Kon natural crossing in tambon Nong Lu around 11.45pm on Friday. A three-year-old girl and an 11-month old baby girl were among the 16 males and 17 females, who looked exhausted when officers found them.
All were taken to the Sangkhla Buri police station, where they received food and drinking water as they had not eaten anything for several days.
