Immigration police arrested two Indian men trying their hand as fortune tellers on Jomtien Beach.

Gurpreet Singh, 19, and a 47-year-old identified only as “Hukam” were apprehended on Jomtien Soi 5 Feb. 16 after officers noticed them charging a fee to tourists to do handwriting examinations as a way to tell fortunes.

While both possessed valid passports, neither had a work permit, police said.

The two were charged with illegally working in the kingdom and were taken for processing and likely deportation.
