Hundreds of thousands of Thai students and young professionals dissatisfied with the government’s handling of the pandemic and the slow pace of vaccinations have formed an online group to discuss ways to quit the country for good.

The Facebook group called “Migrate” has garnered more than 800,000 members in less than a week of being set up. It has become a platform for people to discuss pathways for emigration, with participants seeking advice and Thais already living abroad sharing tips. The US, Australia, Japan, Canada and Germany top the list of destinations that members want to move to in search of a better future.
