Foreign labourers must register at borders, says PM

Foreign labourers must register at borders, says PM

Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha said on Monday that foreign workers are to be registered at border checkpoints as they enter the country.

He made the remark after the government delayed enforcement of a tough executive degree on foreign labour in light of complaints from employers about its severe penalties for using illegal workers.
Prayut acknowledged that Thai industry and many households rely heavily on manpower from neighbouring countries.
He advised authorities to take into account the size of the business before imposing a hefty fine. 
“Should a street stall selling noodles be fined Bt400,000?” he asked in a speech at the annual National Economic and Social Development Board conference.
