Report Thailand Cracks Down on Illegal Expat Workers to Protect Local Jobs
File photo for courtesy of Siam Rath In a bold move, Labour Minister Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn has unleashed a sweeping crackdown on expatriates occupying jobs reserved for Thai citizens. Over the last nine months, an astounding 4,400 arrests have been made as the government stamps down on illegal foreign employment, aiming to safeguard jobs for domestic workers. Labour Ministry spokesperson Phumphat Muanchan revealed that the initiative targets offenders in "List-1" occupations, such as street vending, barbering, and traditional Thai massage, which are strictly off-limits to expats. Of the thousands apprehended, only 417 have faced charges, highlighting gaps in enforcement. The plight of job protection does not solely fall on law enforcers, with Mr. Phumphat blaming some employers for cutting costs and failing to adhere to recruitment laws, exacerbating the issue. Collaborative efforts are ramping up as the ministry teams up with the police and the Department of Employment to thoroughly address the problem. Illegal expat workers in "List-3" roles – bricklaying, construction, and agriculture sectors – are also under scrutiny, with charges pressed against 53 individuals among 4,720 identified. Meanwhile, in "List-4" conditionally prohibited areas, 696 charges have been filed against 22,414 surveyed workers, pointing toward a concerted effort to standardise employment practices and protect local interests. Thailand's Labour Minister Phiphat underscores the urgency of cooperation among related sectors to yield tangible outcomes. Public participation is strongly encouraged, with citizens urged to report sightings of illegal expat employment to the Central Employment Registration and Workers Protection Division of the DoE. This latest crackdown is set to reinforce the nation’s resolve in supporting Thai workers, amid concerns over the legality and fairness of employment practices across industries.

Crime Foreign Man Damages ATM Outside Indian Restaurant in Pattaya After Card Is Swallowed
Sad part is. He must return to the bank immediately upon their opening to collect his card otherwise the bank will cut it in half. I always hated when their ATM machines ate my card. It happens if making a mistake with your PIN number 3 times.. Once, it happened to me while travelling. I did not return to that bank to collect my card for 2 days. When i got there they had already cut it in half and disposed of it. This guy must have been pissed off to do the damage it claims. He will surely have to pay damages so I hope his card has a lot of money on it.
