CHON BURI: -- More than 300 migrant workers from Myanmar and Cambodia were rounded up in a raid on a Chon Buri campsite on Thursday morning.

 

Interior Ministry officials, soldiers and police raiding the site in Bang Lamung district found 253 workers, including 107 women, unable to produce the required pink identification cards, district chief Narit Niramaiwong said. 

 

Another 57 workers, including 18 women, had pink cards but were working outside their permitted areas, he said.

 

Assistant district chief Praphan Prathumchomphu led 50 troops and police in the 6am raid on the camp on Soi Pattaya 4 in the village of Moo 10 in Tambon Nong Plue.

 

Also found in front of the camp was a red police box with a sticker identifying it as a “special inspection spot”.

This is where the BIB collect their bribe money for turning a blind eye.  There's an epidemic of blind eyes in Pattaya.

No, Thailand don't need them.

The employers need them to pay very low wages, to have frightened employees.

They all do jobs for which the Thais think they are too good. 

Have you ever tried to get a pink card for an "alien" if running a business not in Bangkok nor along the Thai border? A law apparently says that only if you are in Bangkok or along the Thai border you my hire - legally that is - aliens. Cholburi is neither so the normal work permit procedure applies = nobody really cares. 

Our company lawyer suggested to move the head office of our (Pattaya-based) business to a letterbox in Bangkok and use the (operational) business here as a "branch" which would circumvent this regulation.
