The Commerce Ministry has intensified scrutiny of suspected nominee businesses, with officials examining more than 100 foreign-linked restaurants in Huai Khwang as part of a wider nationwide crackdown.
Poonpong Naiyanapakorn, director-general of the Department of Business Development (DBD), said on Saturday the department's anti-nominee task force and various agencies inspected the area on Friday amid reports of Thai nationals serving as proxy shareholders, or nominees, and the employment of illegal foreign workers.
