"My flight was from BKK - HK - SH. When I arrived at HK airport from BKK, as soon as I stepped out of the plane, there was about 20-30 immigration officers waiting just outside the terminal and they were stopping all these solo thai girls, asking them for their passports and taking them away for questioning. Strange."
as SEAJ noted, this is no random occurrence. however, although i dunno how these TGs get into HK or how the snakeheads operate, i've seen more than a few Thai WGs here in HK (including the ones in NP recently). the gals working out of the knocking shops in MKK are on quotas, clearly working under an organized system and one who was particularly fun was terrified when i asked her for her mobile number. it's likely they came in via the Snakehead Highway.
by contrast, these gals i saw recently were far more relaxed, and were happy to give me contact info. it seemed more like they were simply renting rooms in a known establishment, and likely arrived as solo travelers, the way you described.
as one said she planned to return, she needs to know this info. i'll try to contact her. scooter, u said "solo" Thai gals--they were just asking to see passports and leading solo Thai women off for questioning. did these gals (i'm assuming no grannies) seem part of a group or were they all random? thanks.
