Two construction workers in Thailand have been repatriated, and an undocumented restaurant worker is receiving consular assistance after all three were allegedly mistreated on the job in Thailand, officials said.

 

Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Chum Sounry yesterday confirmed two Cambodians were persuaded by brokers to work for a construction company in Bangkok with the promise of a 300 baht ($8.42) per day salary. However, for the first month, they were paid just 270 baht per day, and then the payment stopped entirely.

 

“This is the reason that they escaped from the company to live in the pagoda, and the monks at the pagoda arranged for them to travel by taxi to the embassy in Bangkok,” Sounry said. The two men were repatriated on January 4.
