In December 2020, there were officially 1,574,324 Burmese migrant workers in Thailand's labour registration system. Two years later, there were 1,981,739. Significantly more are thought to be working unregistered and informally.

Yep.  That's the other thing bob.  Thailand doesn't give free room and board and stipends to migrants.  They work.

I guess you don't live in OZ they have more rights than white people and yes I lived here for about 40 years. Tell me what have they built or invented Digeridoo and Boomerang? Great, what a good invention.

Why is the thread title "so called Asymlum Seekers"? It hints at a strong bias.

It isn't a bias.  It's asking a simple question.  "Why isn't Thailand full of economic migrants posing as refugees?" could be an equally valid title.

 

It's well established that the UK is being flooded by illegal immigrants who are posing as refugees, under the impression that simply by setting foot in the UK they will be given a free house and free money.

 

The original question is answered by the above, as Thailand is not perceived as offering the same financial reward.

Fair point, although I think your altternative title hints much less at any underlying bias. Thanks anyway.

Maybe because an Asylum seeker is supposed to be a political refugee as opposed to a financial migrant (which a huge number of them are) claiming to be a political refugee.

There are many refugee camps inside Thailand housing the large population of Myanmar nationals feeling the ongoing civil war. They were given housing and food by the UN hopefully until their country become peaceful again.

Unfortunately, peace never come to Myanmar and many are still living in those camps for generations. 

[BarraMarra]

And there was me thinking all the Burmese illegals were entering Thailand by sneaking across the border into Laos when all along they were using KAYAKS down the Mekong.

nice info. just curious though, how many asylum seekers are granted permanent residency, citizenship and even social security benefits? 81 241 refugees pales in comparison to the total the uk takes in year on end

[NativeBob]

During Syrian crisis there were many families seeking refugee status (that building near UN HQ at Ratchada Damnueng rd). All refused. They tried visa-runs, working ilegaly at kebab-shops. Many ended up in IDC. The story was tearful. The whole families went to detention.

They were given food and shelter in refugee camps and told to wait in limbo until their home country become peaceful again. Sadly, many are second or third generation residents of the camp.

Asylum used to be for spies and ballet dancers, now it's little more than a scam to stay and get housed and fed for life by the dross of the world. Thailand has the right Idea you will never see them putting up ilegals in nice hotels and giving them cash every week.

totally agree it is sad... very few compared to the west yet they cant go anywhere. i think the reason there is rage in the uk right now is that rather than having to wait, the refugees get passports too easily. if there were peace in their countries, would the uk asylum seekers give up their newly acquired benefits and go back home?

anyways the topic is about thai asylum seekers not uk... just warrants the question, why doesnt thailand grant them citizenship like our countries do?

That is not correct.  Generally, if both parents are foreigners the baby does not get automatic Thai citizenship, it takes the nationality of it's parents.
