26,840 Cambodian workers in Thailand have their work permit extended by another two years

The Thai cabinet on Tuesday has approved the extension of the work permits of migrants from Cambodia and two other for two years.

Government spokesman Thanakorn Wangboonkongchana said the extension was for Cambodian, Lao, and Myanmar migrant workers who had entered the country under the memorandums of understanding on labour and whose four-year employment contracts were set to expire this year.
