Nakhon Nayok: A Chinese woman was arrested in Nakhon Nayok Monday and is facing a deportation for having illegally soliciting public donations.
Cui Zigui, 59, was arrested on the Nakhon Nakyok-Dong Lakhon Road near the old Nakhon Nayok Market, Nation TV reported.
Police found her carrying a piece of paper that has been properly sealed. The paper states: “Dear kind-hearted people, my husband has been hit by a car and his brain has been damaged. We have run out of money for his treatment. We have young children and we are poor. Please share your money to help us, thank you.”
The woman has been spotted acting as a deaf-mute and using hand sign to beg for money.
Police found her passport and learned that she arrived from Wuhan Tianhe on an AirAsia flight on March 9.
Police had her called someone she knew and the person who answered the call said he was in Nakhon Ratchasima. Police tell the person to meet her at the Mueang Nakhon Nayok police station.
The Nakhon Nayok Social Development and Human Security Office told police to seek the revocation of her tourist visa as she had violated the condition of country entry as a tourist and she has been earning money as a beggar.
The Nakhon Nayok police then handed her over to the immigration police to process her deportation.
Police said many Chinese people have been illegally soliciting donations by using the same trick with the woman –displaying a piece of paper in areas where there are a lot of people, especially at food shops.
