Your village sounds like a great place and I don’t doubt it’s exactly as you say. The abuse of migrant workers is I’d expect is more prevalent in towns and cities .

I agree 100% my post was just to put a positive message across for a bit of balance. It is a great place to live, if a little quiet sometimes.

familiar story.

i have worked abroad myself for years for better salary.

 

where the story ( parents) lost my symphaty was the mention of 3 children.

one who born into poverty should have enough hardship not wanting to have multiple kids dooming them to the same fate, poverty.

and it doesnt take a university degree to recognize this.

no wonder they will never break this cycle.

Like the welfare system in the US

The people have been getting screwed forever, even if they protest in numbers that could force change, and they obviously have'nt reached that to date, the army will mobilize and shoot them! 

If enough of the unwilling conscripts would refuse to obey the orders and turned the guns on the corrupt leaders it might change

can honestly say that the weallthy Thai employers treat their workers well, pay them the 300, or sometimes 400 baht per day and some even provide lunch and water for the farm workers.

We have always taken good  care of  our  workers but often it  is  not reciprocated, they get more than minimum wage, housing , electric , water, fish, motorbike some even got free  petrol........but  apparently I have a bad  attitude, maybe I should start to treat them like carp

It's looking more like a Chinese province everyday ????

The richest countries in Southeast Asia are those that have the biggest ethnic Chinese population:

1. Singapore (75% Chinese)
2. Malaysia (25% Chinese)
3. Thailand (14% Chinese)

Maybe you didn't know this - After World War II, Myanmar was the richest country in Southeast Asia. Not long after the British left, a superstitious general took power and nationalised businesses owned by the Indians and Chinese. He also encouraged riots against the Chinese and imposed many restrictions on them and so many Chinese business people had to flee Myanmar. The outcome? From the richest country in Southeast Asia to become one of the poorest in the world.

Your guess would be a very poorly informed one, then. Quarantine is NOT 100% foolproof. Read more and learn more. 

Learn to read. I never said quarantine was foolproof. I simply stated that Thais arriving by air are quarantined.

Try being an Asian in many western countries...Australia for example!

My question is brief and simple. If you are from Myanmar and a worker, you are carrying the virus. But at the border where there is freeflow, does the virus understand it must not infect Thais? On what is this science based on?

The PM should come forward with the evidence he has that Foreign workers started this outbreak.

Because we already know the first cases were brought in by Thai workers crossing the border.

Yes the border is too blame because we all know they were somehow allowed in without a covid test or been sent to quarantine. You do not see Usa or UK blaming the Thai peopke that live there
