Picture: INN

 

INN reported that a softly-softly approach by the Thai police involved in advising Thai employers and their migrant workers from Laos, Myanmar and Cambodia of their rights and responsibilities would come to an end on November 30th.

 

From then on RTP chief Gen Suwat Chaengyodsuk said there would be penalties and prosecutions for employees and bosses breaking the law. 

 

In this regard the chief said that he would come down hard on anyone taking bribes and backhanders in his force.

 

He told his chiefs to closely monitor the activities of men under their control.

 

Meanwhile in related news Taweesin Visanuyothin of the CCSA said yesterday that labour minister Suchart Chomklin had indicated that 424,703 workers from the three neighboring countries mentioned above would be coming into the country.

 

These would help to make up the shortfall in the labor market.

 

They would go into quarantine facilities in Tak, Ranong, Nong Khai, Mukdahan and Sa Kaeo after their arrival.

 

Exactly where and when that would be and what borders would be opened remains to be seen though in other reports on ASEAN NOW a border at Nong Khai was set to be opened soon. 

 

Daily News reported that the demand for illegal workers and the illicit trade in their movement is hoped to abate now that legal workers would be allowed easier entry into the kingdom to take up and resume their previous employment.

Not sure this worker entry will even happen given the quarantine requirement. They tried to set this up during the  hiatus between first and second COVID waves in Thailand and it never got off the ground. Workers couldn't afford the 14 day quarantine and employers wouldn't pay it.

 

It also seems crazy to require  full quarantine of fully vaccinated workets (which most of the Cambodian workets are). Exact same people could fly in under test & go.

They'll probably have a lower bar to jump over than the average farang tourist.

If you allow corruption to happen then you too are corrupt. The chief wants the corruption to stop which means corruption has been allowed which means the chief is corrupt. Hope you follow my logic here.

How do these immigrants meet all the silly entrance criteria? $50,000 insurance?

Like expat work permit holders, they are covered by Thai social security and are not required to buy insurance. That meets the entry criteria.

Says all you need to know about the BIB that this needs to be said. 

Yes, it´s says that there is too much corruption and that they are trying to do something about it. Nothing more, nothing less.

They are unable to say which border crossings will reopen, or when, but are able to say that 424,703 workers will enter!

 

You know there is something about Thai government statistics, I cannot quite put a finger on it but...

In Thailand, all numbers and statistics come out of a device, which, for reasons of simplicity, one could just call a "hat"...
