They had come from Matabeng province opposite Kanchanaburi on the Thai side of the border.

 

They said they had paid an agent 8 million kyat (150,000 baht) a head so they could get to relatives already working in Malaysia.

People smuggling in Thailand alive and well.

Where do they get the money to pay these fees ? Certainly too much to come from future earnings.

Loan from mafia ?

 

Burmese like to invest in gold, I see many of them with chains and bracelets.  even if they are poor, that is their way of investing.  In an emergency, they sell them.
