It would be interesting to know how they secured their work.

14 in the car? Not much operating room for the driver to react.

Plenty of illegal workers employed in Thailand, Plenty of agents in Cambodia handle the employers requests rather than go thru legal channels.

FYI; average cost for a LEGAL migrant worker (Burmese,Cambodian ,Laos) is 22,000 baht, includes 2 year L-a Visa, wp and thai health card

I know. I used to see a woman who was an agent for illegal workers. Said she grossed 1 million baht a month, but she said she was separated, too. She lives in Pathum Thani.
