They all had their temperature checked - no one was over 37.5C.

 

The illegal immigrants said they came from four provinces in Myanmar and were being taken to jobs in Bangkok, Samut Sakhon, Chonburi, Prachuap and Phetchaburi.

 

They had paid between 20,000 and 25,000 baht to come and work in Thailand. 

 

They were all detained by the authorities.

Thailand still in the thick of people trafficking and employing illegals.

How many company owners have been prosecuted for hiring illegals?

Wonder, if the Thais pay 20-25,000 baht to work in Saudi Arabia.
