Cambodian workers fall to death Thailand

[geovalin]

Two Cambodian migrant workers plunged to their deaths on Friday after falling from a 39-story construction site in Thailand’s Nonthaburi province.  According to the National Police website, the victims were identified as Pheoun Sin and Moul Kosal, who were both 22. Police, however, have yet to determine the circumstances which led to their fall. 
 

“They plummeted off a 39-story condominium building to the ground and died instantly,” the statement on the website read.  Bun Sok Vibol, a Cambodian consular official in Thailand’s eastern Sa Kaeo province, could not be reached for comment yesterday. 
 

More than 1.15 million Cambodians were working abroad in 2016, including 1,056,358 in Thailand alone.  Many Cambodians are driven to work in neighboring countries, often as laborers or in factories, due to the entrenched poverty coupled with the lack of employment in the kingdom.

Honestly I'm not surprised there are more deaths. Not big on safety here.

Well unfortunately for them they were Cambodians so their families will get little or no help from the Thai owners who were possibly responsible for their deaths by having perhaps inadequate safety precautions in place.  Life is cheap in Thailand,  even cheaper if you are an immigrant worker.
