After the Thai and Israeli governments cut out the middle men, Thai workers have to pay only 65000 baht in labour fees to work in Israel. Previously they had to pay well over 100,000 baht.
As banks will not accept land documents such as sor bor
kor as collateral, the workers often have to turn to loan sharks to find the money to go.
With the high interest due on these loans, workers often spend more than one year out of their five year contract, paying off the loan.
Some background to the influx of Thai labour in Israel.
