Thailand welcomes more foreign workers

BANGKOK, Dec18 (TNA) - Thailand plans to import workers from countries which do not share their border with the Kingdom, namely Vietnam, Nepal and Bangladesh, to solve the problem of unskilled labour shortages in local industries.

Labor Minister Chalermchai Sri-on said that he has ordered parties concerned to study the labor import plan; while his ministry will also resume in 2011 the registration of foreign labourers from Myanmar, Laos and Cambodia who have worked in Thailand to legalize them--after their work permits expire in February.


Chalermchai revealed that he has also assigned Rajabhat Phranakorn University to conduct a research on overall demand for foreign workers in Thailand to facilitate an effective planning on immigrant labour forces in the future.(TNA)
