It may be a case of the Burmese workers refusing vax as they are doing in Mae Hong Son and Chiang Mai.

Friend of mine bought Sinopharm vax for all of his ~50 workers but only the Thai's would take the jab.

Unfortunately most of the companies are owned , or have major shareholdings in, by "connected" people who can do no wrong in gaining unimaginable wealth. Assisted of course by a government with some very suspicious military connections that seem confused about what constitutes illegal migration.

Is the 50 baht a day a wage for working, or a sustenance payment because they are unable to work?

Just curious: Were these construction workers vaccinated while in quarantine? If not, why not?!?
