"Asylum seekers from the neighboring country do not fare much better in Thailand, where they have no legal protection and live in constant fear of deportation"

Or many are used for cheap labor (more often than not never paid) and then sent back.

There is currently a large construction project on Sukhumvit between Sois 9 and 11. All Burmese labor living in these squalid camps in behind the site.

There are an estimated 250,000 unregistered Burmese maids in Thailand working on beck and call 24 hours per day 7 days a week with no time off

And quite a large number of software people. They are very popular with the telcos. 

 

Not paid crap but not paid Thai wages. 

 

Still, better than being home

But I would guess the Software people are here legit, Visa, Work Permit and paying tax, unlike most illegals on building sites or maids.

Unregistered? That number seems too high.  The few Burmese maids that I have been associated with - all were registered.

There's a book in that - "Associations with a few Burmese Maids".

Correct it was a Typo 25k not 250k too many zeros, must be Parkinson’s in my typing finger

The ones I have known, ex wife’s maid and other members of family’s maids were all unregistered
