Thailand is always trying to be the Hub of everything; I think they try to launch a hub in Thailand every second month or something. It is everything from airport hub to internet hub but nothing really sticks. But one thing Thailand is a hub for but maybe they did not ask for it and that is passport hub.
Thailand is one of the major players when it comes to passport making and selling. Many people travel to Thailand to buy and sell passports and the Thai police arrest many people each year for this.
Just a few years ago they sold fake student ID cards and graduations papers on the Khosan road in Bangkok but the police closed down that open business.
High Profile arrests
Last week the Thai police with colleges from different Embassies arrested some people that made passports for the Madrid bombings. This shows it is not just innocent a refuge that buys false documents in Bangkok but well known terrorist is using Thailand as a transit hub as well.
Crack Down
The Thai police probably know who this people are and should do a serious crack down on this business and other countries should make sure their passports cannot be counterfeited that easily.
