At the risk of upsetting our antipodean members, hasn't this been tried before?

They will be issued a A1 absolutely clean police clearance as a reward for leaving.

In this time of continuing border closures, lack of flights and not knowing when normality will return, not to mention Thailand's dismal economic performance, likely to be the worst in ASEAN this year, why aren't these workers working at home?

 

The dumbest idea ever to send workers abroad when the economy is in such a dismal state. They should be encouraged to work at home.

Mr. Somsak urgently needs a reality check.

“Several foreign companies, especially from Taiwan, South Korea and countries in the Middle East and Europe want Thai workers because they are known to be hard-working and disciplined. Thailand’s ability to effectively curb the Covid-19 pandemic is also impressive,” he said.

Many assumptions here that are not true, and some very twisted logic at the end.

... yes, if nothing else they perfectly 'qualify' for the infantry, 5555 ... 

A quick course in Cannon Fodder 101 and they'd be good to go.

The TH Gov must have a Dept of Hair-brained ideas.

... 555, yes, I believe they do, the clandestine & highly prolific Ministry Of Silly Talks, since 2014 apparently. 

I hear they forked out top-thaibaht for consultants, especially veterans from UK's long defunct - you probably guessed it - Ministry Of Silly Walks, amongst others ...

Nah, they're just copying someone else's idea again. The British did it first 200-odd years ago with Australia.

I'd missed equal opportunities employment. I was assuming rough, unhelpful blokes.

I can see an opening now.

In a move to help convicts start a new life after prison, Justice Minister Somsak Thepsutin is planning to launch a campaign to boost their professional and language skills so they can find work overseas.

Roughly Translated = You've been a naughty naughty boy or girl, therefore we would like you to work outside of Thailand as you are giving us a bad name..............LOL

As-salamu alaykum bro, you seem to be lost as this is a thread about contagious ministerial brain flatulence, yes, a medical condition as well, but hopefully not related to yours ...

 

If you mean you're abroad & need to get into the country for your appointment then contact a Thai embassy as you need to register, procedures should be in place. See also:

And who is going to teach English to them. They cannot teach English of any competence to their school children.

I thought the Deputy Minister of Agriculture might be a special advisor to this project, given his previous experience.

Having a bad name didn't hold back his career.

REALLY

[PatchinExPat]

Sooner or later they get out.

If they can be taught a skill to make and honest living,

that is all the more good for the better.

There are a lot of people locked up who have aged a little

and would rather work than steal and risk a return to 

Thailand big houses.

 

Language skills are always a plus. 

If 2 out of 10 take the opportunity reform and try to

go straight, that is a win. 

 

If the sentences are commuted, then they would not have to 

go abroad as slaves, but as workers ready to earn some respect

for their abilities. 

If it doesn't pan out, they always ditch the idea.

Give it a try, it isn't welfare it is work . 

 

But then haters will always hate, nothing new.

[phantomfiddler]

Shouldn,t it read "Workforce intends to turn convicts into ministers" ?

[wombat]

England already did that...look at the results they had in Australia

[PerkinsCuthbert]

And I thought we had dingbats for politicians in my country...
