Thai police arrested an Israeli citizen for operating an illegal daycare center on Ko Pangan, known as one of the most popular resort areas in Phuket. According to local press and The Jerusalem Post, the man was detained by police during a raid on residential premises to check for illegal children's facilities. It should be noted that this is not the only such action taken by Thai police. Last month, The Jerusalem Post reported that Israeli security forces and local police were conducting operations against illegal immigration into the country. Additionally, two suspects planning terrorist activities in the Shuafat area were also arrested. The arrest of the Israeli man for an illegal daycare center on Ko Pangan sparked interest among both tourists and locals. Official representatives of the police stated that such actions are aimed at ensuring children's safety and compliance with education sector employment laws. At present, the Israeli national is under investigation, and the daycare has been closed. Police urge all owners of illegal children's facilities to cease their activities and cooperate with security services. This incident also drew attention to the regulation of businesses in Thailand's tourist zones. Local authorities continue their efforts to improve service quality and ensure compliance for all residents and visitors on the island. Expats-tipped: If you plan to open or work with illegal establishments in Thailand, make sure to check the legislation and cooperate with local authorities to meet all requirements.
