Illegal Cambodian Construction Worker found dead in Campsite.

On Thursday Afternoon, Police Major Tailert from Dongtan Police Sub-Station on Jomtien Beach was called to a constructor’s campsite in Soi Chayapreuk off Jomtien Beach Road to investigate the death of one of the workers.

The dead man is Mr. Jon aged 31, a Cambodian National who was working at the site with his wife, who explained that the pair had entered Thailand illegally to work in the construction industry about 3 months ago.

Her husband had gone for a sleep during their lunch break and failed to wake up. Police checked the room and body and found nothing suspicious. A post mortem examination is now underway to confirm the cause of death which is expected to be natural causes.

Sadly, immigrant workers in Thailand from Laos, Cambodia and Buma are often exploited by Thai bosses. In the past a pile of twenty burnt dead Bumese bodies were found together with burnt old tyres and petrol: Just before their monthly salary of 3,000 baht was due. Suspicious?
