About 7,700 Laotian hill tribe members attempting to enter Thailand have been detained and will be deported back to their home nation.

The Commander of the Joint Civilian, Military, Police Special Task Force, Maj Gen Somchai Uttama (สมชาย อุตมะ), reports that authorities recently conducted a survey of 7,700 Laotian hill tribe members living on 200 rai of land in Khao Kho (เขาค้อ) district of Phetchabun province. The Internal Security Operations Command has assigned the Joint CMP Special Task Force to handle the matter.

Authorities will also be expediting the establishment of temporary utilities for the Laotian nationals, 30 percent of whom have been found to be residing on restricted Thai territory. All 7,700 Laotians are currently in the process of being deported since June 25th. All illegal immigrants are expected to be out of Thailand in 3 weeks.

The deportation process will adhere to Internal Security Operation Command protocols. The Laotian government has been informed of the matter and are extending their cooperation.
