    The Thai fishing industries dirty secrets.

    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    Yep, lots of people from Myanmar were made slaves in Thailand, particularly after Australia started turning boats back. That bloke is lucky to still be alive - many were raped, tortured or murdered, at sea or in the forests.
    Incidentally the 10,000 baht he was promised for a year's work is about the monthly rent I used to pay so that shows how little it is worth.

    Some facts about the situation in Thailand are here. They make Australia's tantrums about a few people on boats look very trivial.

    Yes, Thailand is high on the slavery watch list for a reason.
