INN reported on the return of the first batch of Thai workers from wartorn Ukraine.

 

Fleeing the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and arriving safely back at Suvarnabhumi airport yesterday evening on TG 923 were 38 Thais.

 

Among them was 49 year old Jiraphat from Phimai, Korat, who is currently quarantining at a relative's place in Phrapradaeng, Samut Prakan.

I wonder what those girls earn in countries like Ukraine etc where the locals earn very little money.

Only yesterday I read the somewhere in Isaan, a thai woman was arrested because she recruited poor women with the promise of getting them massage jobs, earning 40000Baht a month in the middle East.
Once they arrived there, passport gone and working in the horizontal business.
