i really don't get these construction work camp things.  I can understand the economics angle a bit, assuming the construction contractor can hire these people at really cheap labor rates, can get the proper work permits (doubtful), can pay off the Thai officials to let them use non-Thais etc.  Are there really not enough Thais available?  Would the Thais really be paid so much more than the foreign laborers?

they  dont  like  hard  construction work as  not  enough  opportunities  to  lounge  around  gawking  at  their  phones + they might  get them  dusty,  better  to  work  in  a  shop  factory  etc  spouting "mai  mee"

Where does it say in either the OP or in the Phuket News that the teenagers were trained by the army?

yes these people build all the condos in Hin Hin.

Huge camps appear and then construction begins.

 

i see truck loads of them packed into the back of army style troop trucks like sardines, standing up in the hot afternoon sun. A large number are women who are painters, plasterers and finish concrete work.

 

These workers are very friendly, seem unaffected by modern influences, (so far) still dress in more "rural" fashion that is different than Thai. They live in those huge camps, build temporary neighborhoods, and even have small markets on some days selling goods.

 

The local immigration office has a window just for them.

only about 30% of Thai men have actual gainful employment...the rest are content not to work, or work sporadically when their parents, wives, and gfs don't give them money...the Thai govt is aware of this and consider it a subject not to discuss openly...

Witout the burmese workers the thai economy would breakdown . They do the jobs Thais won't do anymore , they work good and for cheap ...

Plus, they work without complaining on religious and national holidays, of which there are a few. I've been told that this is quite an important factor for employers in the service sector, where they have to maintain 24-7 opening hours.

Why do contract sugar cane cutters hire their workers here in Khon Kaen to work 100's of kilometres away? Aren't there enough local workers?

Yes there are, but if they use local labour, the labour can go home, get drunk and not turn up for days.

The workers they bring in are housed in shacks and the electricity and water is switched off during the day. If they don't work, what are they going to do? No fans, so it's no fun lounging about and anyway the boss knows where they are.

Very often local labour is just too unreliable.

[dunroaming]

Back in the day we always used Burmese for building projects with a Thai architect and foreman.  The builders would set up camp on site and live there throughout the build.  They were much better workers than the lazy Thais and their skill levels for tiling and plastering were usually much higher.  It wasn't just about money, it was about willingness to work and skill levels.

And did you hear???????? The Thai language is soon to supercede English as the choice Language for the WORLD...............................

This week I just read on TV that the Thai PM and  and 'very' high ranking Army General Prayut has made that prediction because Thai language has 44 letters..........

Did  I hear you say 'really'?????? Since the Thai language with 44 letters apperantly doesn't have an 'r' then Thai's pronounce that ------ 'lilly' not 'really'...... Just as they pronounce ' rice '  as 'lice'........................

What do you think about the new GLOBAL 'THAI Language soon to replace the 'English' language (according to the present PM)

Did I hear you say........ 'terrific'  ??????????   That will also soon be "tellific'...................

I'm not soooooo serious about this but just some food for thought and pertinent to your post about 'English' and the probability of not needing 'English' pretty soon - at least not in the 'future World'...............................
