BANGKOK: The utilities cutoff on the Myanmar border was proved effective as call-centre gangs released more than 100 employees back to Thailand on Sunday (Feb 9), according to a source in Tachilek, a city bordering Chiang Rai’s Mae Sai district.
The Thai National Security Council ordered cutting off power supply, internet connections and fuel exports to five Myanmar border areas last Wednesday to disrupt scam call-centre operations there.
