May 27, 2009Pattaya Daily News (Thailand)
Police looking for illegal workers on 26 May 2009 raided a seafood factory in Sriracha and found over 250 illegal Cambodian immigrants working there. The illegal immigrants, without official documentation of any sort, will be processed and then repatriated.
At 9.00 am, on 26 May, Pol.Lt.Col. Pakkapong Sai U-bon, Police Immigration Investigator, and a team of other concerned officials from Bor Win, Nongkam, a total of 50 officials and 40 volunteer officials, raided the Asian Seafood (Sriracha) Company, located at 211 Moo. 2 Bung, Sriracha, Chonburi, which had been hiring illegal workers from Cambodia for over 2 years, according to complaints received by the police from neighbours.
The police had blocked the factory gates late the previous night. On the following morning, police brought a search warrant from the Pattaya Court and proceeded to search the factory, after having presented the factory manager, Mr. Wanlop Lomlim, with the search warrant. He later conducted the police around the factory.
The illegal Cambodian workers were shocked at the raid and tried to escape by climbing the wall, but the police managed to arrest 126 males and 128 females and took them for investigation onto the empty ground along the side of the factory.
Police asked for their work permits, but none of the workers possessed any form of official documentation, whatsoever. Police then informed them that they would be charged with illegal entry into Thailand and with working in the country without work permits or licences.
The Asian Seafood company is run by Mr. Somsak Amornrattanachaikul , the owner, who will be investigated further and charged with hiring illegal-immigrant workers without correct documentation and also providing accommodation for them.
Police have a total of 253 illegal workers under arrest, who were later sent to Nongkam Police Station for further investigation and processing.

Editor Notes:
There are numerous cases like this in many factories and construction sites in Thailand, where the Thai employers have cheated their illegal workers by withholding their wages for three months and instead of paying them, they or their agents just tipped off the police, who then came to arrest them. In these cases, the Thai employers profit by saving the wages of their illegal workers and only pay small sums to the police.
However, due to the often dire conditions in their own countries, many poor workers would still rather take the risk of working illegally in Thailand, than remain penniless in their own countries.

If Cambodia business is growing in all sectors, why the hell Khmer people leave their country to as slaves for Thais? And they have been treated as animals.
Hun Sen,,,, achkout eng niss trov kro-lek merl,,, what is happening to your people out there?? don't just fuck your wife's ass!!!!!
Hun Sen and it cliques must round up yuon and siem in Cambodia as they do to khmer.
Hun Sen can't see the poor people who are jobless and hopeless. Because, Hun Sen has only one eye, he can only see his wife's p#@sy when he needs it.
Hun Sen should look at your people more often than concentrating pigs around you.
This news show that EVEN Cambodians are treated like animals in Thailand they prefer this because it is a better life than in Cambodia.
What do this tell us about Cambodia and the Cambodian people???
How worst do Cambodia look like that their own people prefer to be treated like animals in Thailand rather than to live in Cambodia?
Think about it!!!!
Why do the Thai people think that Cambodians are all stupid and dirty?
If you act like an animal you will be treated as an animal.
Under Khmer Rouge Hun Sen government, poor Khmer peoples have to cross the border into our enemy country to work, slave, abuse and deport.
Why they don't listen to Mr. preminister Hun Sen! They should stay home an bage so Mr. PM can go to beg more from Supper Power for poor Cambodian!
Do not blame Mr. PM Hun Sen for those misseries, Hes five and children only accepted money from rich merchants! All the money Hon Sen get he use only for our KING FATHER HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
no wonder thai look down on khmers because we elected an idiot (not even finish middle school) to run the country for 3 decades!
I am very disappointed that ah Khmer Rouge Hun Sen supporters are not comment when it come to issue like this.
that's what the French are good at, giving up and abandon ship. sound familair? Them came to colonized our country and then the abandoned us to the hands of Khmer Rouge to murder us. Now the French once again came to represent and now wanted to call a quit and treathen to walk off. That doesn't surprise me. It's just the typical French way of doing things. I guess Khmer deserved that.
Ah New Phally is busy in the meeting, not able to comment about Thai treat Khmer peoples like animals.
Ah PPU = Perverse Pedophilia Urchin is also busy in the meeting, not able to comment about Thai treat Khmer peoples like animals.
it's not the workers' fault. it's the corrupted companies that use them are to to blame; so don't be abusing the workers, they are just trying to make a living just like everyone else on this planet, ok! it's not unique to cambodia alone, ok! let's be fair! what goes around comes around, too, you know! plus, this not a way to make friends with cambodia by abusing helpless people are are just trying to earn some money to support their families in cambodia.
