Labour Minister Pademchai Sasomsap Sunday instructed the Thai ambassador in Seoul to plan for the speedy evacuation of all Thais after North Korea on Saturday declared war with South Korea.
Pyongyang’s announcement came as the communist country escalated its bellicose rhetoric against both South Korea and is staunch ally the United States.
The emergency plan includes the setting up of temporary shelters in places like Busan and the arranging of flights and ships to transport Thais, mostly contract workers, to Japan if hostilities really break out, Pademchai said.
