South Korea remains one of the most attractive countries among Thai job-hunters, with tens of thousands applying to join the Employment Permit System for Foreign Workers (EPS) in South Korea at events held by the Department of Employment (DOE) over the weekend in Bangkok, Lampang, Nakhon Ratchasima and Udon Thani.

Long queues formed at the Public Relations Department in Bangkok early morning to buy commemorative pins marking the Royal Cremation ceremonies for HM the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej, with the souvenirs selling out later in the day.
