What's that craziness with Cambodian migrant workers?

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO.

Everyday hundreds of migrant workers are returning from Thailand because they lost their jobs or they are afraid of covid but at the same time hundreds of others are paying illegal brokers to get into Thailand.

Can't they read the news or are they all fucking nuts?

I think the term you are looking for is "desperate".

I can totally understand that a desperate person would try anything to get into the promised land in order to earn money and provide for his family but Thailand at this point in time isn't the promised land anymore. Otherwise there wouldn't be hundreds every day which do the return journey.
So why waste your limited resources giving them to a scrupulous broker instead of filling the belly of your family?
