The raid, which took place at 12.30am on Friday found 17 Westerners of various nationalities providing online English classes to people in China from a room in the ground floor of the Riverside Condo.
Upon being apprehended by police, the foreigners were asked to produce their passports and work permits.
However, whilst twelve of the individuals could produce their passports, they were unable to produce work permits.
Among those who could not produce work permits were three Americans, a Canadian, a German, a Dutch national, two Irish nationals, two Britons and two Australians.
As well as not having a work permit, it was also revealed that a fourth American was on overstay.
The remaining foreigners had passports and valid work permits but were in breach of work conditions.
According to the Bangkok Post, the foreigners had been hired by BOI 360 Max Co, however the online language school was found to be operating without permission.
10 notebook computers were also seized.

So, I guess the lesson is, make sure you're legal where ever you are?
