Samut Sakhon —
On June 12th, 2024, Royal Thai Immigration officers and relevant agencies in Samut Sakhon conducted a search operation at a factory in Krathum Baen. This action followed a report from the Damrongdhama Center about a large number of illegal immigrant laborers at the site.
During the operation, officers discovered over 72 illegal immigrants working at the factory. Among them, 45 had no legal documentation or work permits, while 27 Burmese workers had some documentation but lacked work permits.
All the immigrants reportedly admitted to working illegally at the factory, where they were paid 363 baht daily in cash. They revealed that they had been employed there for one month.
Initially, the Krathum Baen police escorted the illegal immigrants to the Krathum Baen police station for further legal and deportation proceedings according to the law.
The police and other relevant agencies are also investigating the case to identify the employers and other individuals involved in hiring these illegal workers to hold them responsible and accountable for their actions.
