Assurancetourix Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Why are there illegal migrants in Chiang Mai province ?because no thai would want to work for 100 baht a day or maybe less What the police has to do ?Simple , require employers to pay their WP that allow them to work legally in Thailand and have an income of 300 baht each day .

terminatorchiangmai Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Nobody wants to pay 100 bath for 1 kilo Longan. I wonder who is going to pick the fruits if there are no Cambodians or Burmese. Maybe be in the future only sun-dried longangs for sale but still on the trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FangFerang Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 So brokers bring workers in, promising them jobs, and the foreign workers get arrested, while the Thai brokers get....questioned. Another step in several different directions for this no-sense government. Well undone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBrilliant Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 When there is no work at home, I suppose 100B a day is better than 0B a day? The local Immigration police here have sporadic 'round ups' of Cambodian and Burmese workers and one rather pretty officer explained that it was futile as they'll back in a few days. She told me they'll take them back to Cambodia/Burma but they'll just 'turn around' and head right back. The rummy thing was that as they lined up the poor 'migrants' on the pavement, two tables away was sat a German bloke who I know is on an (at least) 3 yr OS (but that's not my affair).

Nemesis7 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Everybody wants a better future, poor illegal immigrants works here for so less, i understand they are illegal and charges can be filed, but haven't read any where that the ring leaders or the broker got exploratory punishment for human trafficking.

elektrified Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Don't understand why they don't look for work closer to home like Koh Chang, Koh Kood, etc. On Koh Kood and other nearby islands Cambodian immigrants (legal) will not work for less than 500 Baht per day. Resort operators have no choice but to pay the wage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kannikapor88 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 (edited) No no no poor migrant workers ... You have to remember to pay the promised amount every week/month opposite Promenada - the officers is waiting to get so they can support their mia noi ... I guess these migrant workers have never heard of calling 1111 but then again that dosent work either ...
