Thai officers intercept Starlink transmitters allegedly headed for Myanmar scam centers

Thai authorities seized 38 Starlink transmitters (after a prior seizure of 10) allegedly intended for Myanmar-based scam compounds, as criminal groups increasingly rely on satellite internet following government electricity and telecom cut-offs. Reporting and analysis indicate widespread Starlink use in border-area scam operations, prompting calls for stricter KYC, monitoring of suspicious activity, and broader regulatory action to curb misuse of satellite services.
