Myanmar workers hoping to return home left stranded in Chonburi

By The Nation

 

 

A crooked van driver left a group of Myanmar migrant workers stranded at a bus station in Chonburi after promising to take them home during the New Year holidays.

 

Early on Tuesday, police learned that the workers had been dropped off at the station at around 1am and the van that brought them sped off.

 

The workers said they had paid the driver Bt500 each to take them from Chonburi’s Sri Racha district to Tak’s Mae Sot.

 

However, the driver brought them to the provincial bus terminal and told them to remove their luggage before driving off.

 

The authorities checked the workers for their documents and screened their temperatures before putting them in detention. Police said they will look into the case further.

There is some very unpleasant behaviour being perpetrated and exposed lately. I hope all this callousness and mistreatment does not go without retribution.

Really?  I can't see Pattaya BIB spending more than a milli-second on a bunch of foreigners being robbed.

Like the factory owner in Samut Sakhon dumping workers on the street, and the police say he was only trying to help them find relatives?

"The authorities checked the workers for their documents and screened their temperatures before putting them in detention". 

 

Is this what they call Thainess.......?
