Thailand’s Labour Ministry has intensified its crackdown on illegal foreign workers, arresting 4,400 expats over the past nine months in jobs reserved for Thai citizens. The campaign targets roles like vending, barbering, and massage, with enforcement gaps highlighted by the low number of formal charges. Authorities are collaborating across agencies to tighten oversight, especially in construction and agriculture. Citizens are urged to report violations as the government pushes to protect local employment and regulate labour practices.
