Popular Post snoop1130 Posted May 8 Popular Post Share Posted May 8 The locals of Pattaya are once again appealing to the relevant authorities to address the issue of illegal migrant workers, who they claim are taking jobs away from Thai people and bothering tourists. Residents disclosed that they have observed numerous foreign women, mainly those from Laos, Cambodia, and Myanmar, selling flowers to tourists. The women typically do this hustle around busy tourist hotspots like Walking Street. The claimants noted that they often have young children with them, possibly to elicit sympathy from tourists. Residents reported that if their sales propositions are refused, these women can turn aggressive and exhibit improper behavior. Local people have also raised concerns about unauthorized foreign vendors operating movable carts and trike stalls to sell their wares to tourists. They believe this is unfair to local Thai vendors who abide by the law and pay their taxes. The distressed residents are beseeching relevant bodies to take urgent action to resolve this problem. They also voiced concerns that these migrant workers could be embroiled in human trafficking enterprises and fear that the children seen with them may not actually be theirs.

SingAPorn Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 They tend to forget a small detail in Thailand. No foreigner,. no money and most of the major cities and towns will plainly collapse. Please respect the foreigner and the retirees. 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly not exclusive to Thailand given the numerous examples featured in international news over the impact of foreign workers , legal or not, taking away employment from local aspirants. I use the term :aspirant" in place of "worker" because increasingly I observe the self righteousness of presumed employees who apparently expect to be paid to be "online" and ignore the presence of "customers" until challenged for attention ! Bring on the workers who understand the function of their employment .... please. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunBENQ Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 (edited) These "jobs" by women from foreign countries are decades old (flower selling, begging with rent a baby etc.). Guess they have just forgotten about due to the COVID break. Good luck with the appeal. Edited May 10 by KhunBENQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
