Police nab 500 illegal migrant workers in Samut Prakan

A 100-man police task force raided a construction site and arrested more than 500 illegal migrant workers here early Friday.

The police from the Crime Suppression Division with arrest warrants raided the site of a luxury condominium in Bang Phli district after receiving a complaint on illegal migrant workers.

During the raid, police found over 500 undocumented male and female workers from Laos, Myanmar, and Cambodia.

Unregistered with the Ministry of Labour, the workers have been detained and are now awaiting repatriation. Their employer is charged with providing accommodation for illegal migrants.

About 100 workers tried to escape into a nearby forested, but police searched for an hour and arrested all of the migrant workers.

15 years ago it went like this.....

Burmese labour illigaly transported from victoria point Ranong to bangkok.

Then had to work their buts out.

Socalled "Subcontractors Scum" could hold of their request, mind you not demand!!! for a fair wagepayment for a couple of months.

If the heat was on they,the subcontractors, called the police.....who where happily "assisting" in arresting them and deported them back to Burma.

without pay offcourse.

i bet they do the same with all the poor surrounding Thailand.
