"Three Thais have been arrested with thousands of fake passport pages and visas for various countries. Police also found 600 fake Malaysian and Hong Kong identification cards and 100 fake plane tickets at the suspects' apartments in Bangkok, a major Asian center for fake documents. But police said they found no link between this gang and any international militant network. At their apartments, police found 100 fake passport books and more than 3,000 passport pages for Hong Kong, South Korea, Singapore, China, Malaysia, Thailand, Taiwan, the Netherlands, France, Japan, Australia, Germany and the United States.
They also found about 1,500 visas for Australia, Malta, Moldova, European Union, United States, Canada, Japan and South Africa." [Brief]
