PHNOM PENH (The Phnom Penh Post/Asia News Network): More than 15,000 legal Cambodian migrant workers have entered Thailand for work in the first five months of this year, with the number likely to increase after the neighbouring country relaxed procedures as the Covid-19 situation eases.

An Bun Hak, president of the Manpower Association of Cambodia (MAC), told The Post on June 6 that the workers have been sent via recruitment agencies licensed by the Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training.
