Burmese Migrant Worker Abuses

Burmese migrant worker abuse is rampant in Thailand.

One 19 year old Karen worker told me that the Thai police were known to abuse and harass workers on a weekly basis, even if they did have a work permit, they were still expected to pay the police to prevent further abuse

Many Thai's are refusing to perform menial jobs, often hiring Burmese to perform these tasks. These workers usually make the trip from the border regions to Bangkok in search of a small daily wage, often lower than the official Thai daily wage.
