Cambodian Migrant Worker, Seafood Industry, Chanthaburi, Thailand

This is a picture I took with the four Cambodian fishermen who were rescued from a boat sinking in Tha Mai District, Chanthaburi Province, Thailand, and also brought generous donations of money and equipment for them that we got from the Cambodian mingrant workers network and civil society organization. This picture also I want to show that coming to work in Thailand, sharing and helping each other is still very important. For instance, for this boat sinking case, I observed that there is no civil society organization or employer ​having a tendency or action to support the victim properly yet such as the preparation of documents to get legalization as a migrant worker, and compensation for damages from this occupational risk. As far as I know from meeting them in person they have a poor life and need to pay off their bank debts in Cambodia and decided to cross the border to work in the fishing industry, despite the high risk of employment.
