From the Tiger to the Crocodile: Abuse of Migrant Workers in Thailand
URL: https://www.hrw.org/report/2010/02/23/tiger-crocodile/abuse-migrant-workers-thailand
The thousands of migrant workers from Burma, Cambodia, and Laos who cross the border into Thailand each year trade near-certain poverty at home for the possibility of relative prosperity abroad. While most of these bids for a better life do not end as tragically, almost all play out in an atmosphere circumscribed by fear, violence, abuse, corruption, intimidation, and an acute awareness of the many dangers posed by not belonging to Thai society.
