Many of the 10,000 migrant workers who have lost their jobs due to flooding have sought temporary shelter at Wat Klong Madeu in Samut Sakhon’s Krathum Baen district.

Meanwhile, Samut Sakhon employment officer Decha Preukwattanarak said yesterday that he had contacted Burmese Ambassador Mong Tun to help guarantee and certify documents for workers who wished to return home.

Other migrant workers have also been sending donations to help out those who are stranded, while the Sriwichai 3 Hospital has sent medical personnel to treat and check-up on the workers.
