'Mr Prima' held yet againA Belgian man has been arrested for illegal entry after having worked here for four years in the entertainment business. The man, identified only as "Mr Prima", 49, was nabbed in a rental apartment in Wang Thonglang district of Bangkok. Immigration Bureau (IB) commissioner Sompong Chingduang said yesterday that Mr Prima, who speaks Thai fluently, was arrested in Thailand 20 years ago, then deported, for allegedly forging official documents. He attempted to re-enter the country in 2014 but was turned away at Suvarnabhumni Airport because he had been blacklisted. Meanwhile, the IB announced that a Myanmar man named Sao, 39, had been detained for allegedly possessing 118kg of powdered kratom in Samut Sakhon.
