Migrants hard at work in Ranong

Myanmar migrant workers unload fishing boats and sort out the catches at the jetty in Ranong province on Friday.

 

Since most migrant workers in the province are employed by the fishing industry, they are one of the key engines driving the provincial economy.

 

Hence, with cooperation between government agencies and Ranong residents, migrant workers are still allowed to work, even though the rising number of cases in Myanmar is triggering fear among Thais.

 

However, officials are monitoring migrant workers closely to ensure Ranong does not suffer the same fate as Samut Sakhon, which is overwhelmed by Covid-19 cases.

Guess they are better of out at sea rather than seafood processing dormitory living underpaid factory workers!

Pretty sure they'll get the blame even if it isn't them that do spread an outbreak

Where are all the unemployed Thais out of money ? Oh... watching TV and drinking booze. I know quite a few like that
