<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nMr. Decha revealed that: \u201cThe government under the leadership of General Prayut Chan-O-Cha, Prime Minister and Minister of Defense, and the Ministry of Labour led by Mr. Suchart Chomklin, Minister, has placed great importance on work management processes pertaining to Cambodian, Laotian, Myanmar and Vietnamese nationals, taking into account national security and safety of the Thai people.\u201d
he Office of the Permanent Secretary\u2019s Public Relations Group Office, Ministry of Labour, is pleased to present an exhibition and activities to the public through its mobile public relations units in accordance with its public relations project. In response to the government and the Ministry of Labour\u2019s missions, our aim is to create awareness and understanding of official policies for administration, importation, and prevention & protection of foreign workers\u2019 rights. In so doing, we aim to raise awareness of the rights of migrant workers under the \u2018Foreign workers are treated equally\u2019 framework.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Employers are thereby encouraged and supported to hire alien workers legally. Under the initiative, government units under supervision of the Ministry of Labour in the province are also focused on integrated administration, importation, prevention & protection of the foreign workers\u2019 rights, so as to ensure that they are treated equally and fairly, the same as Thai workers. Factors include minimum wage rates, medical treatment and fair welfare fom employers. Taken together, this helps prevent human trafficking which has dented Thailand\u2019s international raking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr. Decha continued that: \u201cOrganizing public relations activities in this area will help create knowledge and understanding of equal rights between Thai workers and foreign workers so that all are protected by the law of Thailand. It also reflects the Ministry of Labour and the government\u2019s determination to promote and revent alien workers being taken adventage of in their workplaces by employers. The Ministry of Labour and the government anticipate that this will improve Thailand\u2019s human trafficking ranking from Tier 2 to Tier 1.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of these, 105,942 are workers from Myanmar, Laos and Cambodia, 39,350 are without registration status, 4,843 are general aliens, and 596 are aliens in businesses promoted by the Thailand Board of Investment. The work permits of 104,076 aliens from Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam permitted to work in Chiang Mai expired on February 13, 2023, and 92,356 of them applied for renewal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEmploying legal workers helps solve labour shortages, giving the country more security and stabilizing the national economy and society. It also enhances the country\u2019s good image connected to the government\u2019s policy to protect the rights of workers in all groups, reolve all forced labour problems and prevent human trafficking, \u201c Mr. Decha concluded. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
