Thai Workers in the Middle East Largely Stay Put, Citing Debt and Ongoing Employment

Thai labour officials said the majority of Thai workers in Middle Eastern countries confirmed they were safe amid escalating regional tensions. The report estimated roughly 70,000–80,000 legal Thai workers in the region, with the largest group in Israel and another significant number in the UAE. One worker quoted explained many colleagues were reluctant to return yet because they had borrowed money to relocate for work. Thai authorities warned nationals to avoid high-risk areas and paused previously planned deployments of additional workers. The situation leaves families and officials balancing safety concerns against workers’ financial realities and job commitments.
