A raid on a factory in Bangkok revealed 300 million baht’s worth of fake designer goods.
Following the issuing of a warrant the raid on the factory resulted in the arrest of 30 year old Phisit Kingjampa and Kanthapong Korakotsap, 34.
The Sai Mai station chief said that 11,000 items of pirated clothing were found along with more than 600,000 labels. The evidence along with sewing machines and cutting equipment was all displayed at the police station yesterday.
The factory was producing fake brands such as Gucci, Nike, Adidas and Polo among others.
Station chief Thanakorn Konkaew said that it was a big success in the fight against piracy as the whole set up was worth some 300 million baht.
Thai authorities have been under central government orders to clear up the trade in fake goods following complaints from the genuine manufacturers.
