snoop1130 Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 A Thai worker, known as soongphon on TikTok, has taken to the platform to share the harsh reality of Thai labourers working in South Korea. Contrary to popular belief, his videos reveal that the work environment is far from easy, dismissing any illusions of a comfortable job. The TikToker posted video clips showing the daily grind of Thai labourers in South Korea. He captioned the videos as “Brutal work. Thais in South Korea. Won hunters.” In the video narrative, soongphon explained he wanted to relay a message to people planning to work in South Korea. He said many had asked him if there were any easy jobs in South Korea. “There are no easy jobs. If there were, they wouldn’t hire us.” The working conditions of Thai labourers in South Korea are challenging. Some have succeeded, while others could not cope with the workload.

mfd101 Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 Sth Korea has dragged itself over some 40 years from poverty & dictatorship to high economic status & democracy. All done by hard work and determination against all the odds. The payoff has been high indeed. The notion of poor Thai 'workers' going there for an easy job & lotsa dosh is laughable. And tragic if you think about it too much. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
