Working abroad is popular with Thai workers because wages and salaries in Thailand are lower than they are in foreign countries. Apart from these, It is very difficult to find a good job in Thailand. Besides, the employers abroad like employing Thai workers and also offer good benefits.
Because of the reasons mentioned above,many Thai workers travel to work in other countries throughout the world. Some Thai workers travel there by self-employed; others are directly employed by employers working and employers training and some are sent to foreign countries by the Department of Employment.
