During coordinated raids on six establishments, authorities arrested 85 foreign women suspected of working illegally in customer service roles. The detained individuals include 81 Thai nationals, four Laotians, one Yemeni, and one Chinese woman. Additionally, 14 foreign men, including 12 Bangladeshis, were also detained during the operation.
