Officials arrested 16 Cambodians fleeing starvation after hiring fellow citizens to escort them into Thailand, paying them 6,000 baht each. However, they ended up dumping them in the middle of a forest on the border of Sa Kaeo Province. They had to cut through the border to enter Thailand themselves until they were arrested.
