Chiang Rai, the north most province of Thailand, shares borders with Myanmar and Laos which are the major countries of origin for migrant workers. Tok tells us the unique situations of the border region and experience of migrant workers there.

This episode is a part of the series focusing on COVID-19’s impact on migrant workers in their major destinations in East and Southeast Asia, following up the cross-regional joint research conducted as part of BEBESEA initiative in 2020.

Joined by Suebsakun Kidnukorn (aka Tok), from Mae Fa Luang University, who is also the Coordinator for the Aid Centre to Migrant Workers in Chiang Rai, we hear about migrant workers' situations in Thailand during the pandemic and latest developments.
