TLDR : Answer Summary

The discussion centers around ongoing immigration raids in Thailand, primarily targeting individuals who are illegally residing in the country or overstaying their visas. Several comments reference similar actions in other countries and express concerns regarding the implications for visa agencies and enforcement measures. Specific attention is given to recent activities of the tourist police, particularly regarding checks on Indian nationals. Additionally, there are sidebar comments related to confusing immigration statuses involving tourist and education visas.
