webfact Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Thai man goes berserk on plane after being denied entry to South Korea Picture: Sanook A Thai man got his wish to enter South Korea on Sunday evening but not in the manner he originally desired. After the man aged about 30 was denied entry by the South Korean immigration at Incheon, Seoul, he was put back on a Jin Air flight to Bangkok. But as South Korean TV station JTBC reported, he threw an angry fit as the plane taxied on the runway and had to be subdued by crew and passengers. The plane returned to the terminal and the Thai was promptly handcuffed and taken into custody. Sanook reported that the man was angry that he would be arrested back in Thailand after being denied entry. Thousands of Thais are working illegally in the prosperous nation and the Korean authorities have asked their Thai counterparts to try to stop the flood of people arriving on tourist visas then going to work.

Stealing jobs from those Koreans, ban them all I say There's a huge difference between someone moving (even illegally) from a country with $8 a day minimum wage, to a country with much better opportunities vs. someone moving from a high GDP country to hunt up a job in a low GDP country that happens to have cheap sex and pretty women on offer. I'm not saying either one is right. Just that I understand the former, and really don't sympathize with the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinneil Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Loss of face when returning home. He had spent a lot of time telling everybody, i have got a good job in Korea, bla, bla.

Your argument while it's morally sound but fairly and ethically not right, just imagine the billions of destitute people from craphole countries all wanting to immigrate to high earning countries, and what a chaos it will cause...

Peterw42 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I am surprised this guy made it out of Thailand. Wife has a couple of friends that have tried to go to Korea, as tourists, but to work massage, they get turned around by Thai immigration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't claim that either one was right. Because of that chaos. But I have a lot more sympathy for one than for the other. And to answer rkidlad, I worked for 7 years in BKK and never touched a Thai lady, because I was in it for the paycheck. But that puts me in the tiny minority. I would contend that Thailand wouldn't have even 1/10 the problem with illegal falang workers if sex were off the table... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he got a strop on and got arrested there first. Winning! 1 hour ago, RichardColeman said: More likely coming back to the wrath of the money lender he borrowd the money from to go work in korea now he has no income to pay it back More likely the cause of his grief. Mrs NL related the story of four lads from the moobahn who flew off to work in Korea. Only 3 got in though and the 4th was sent back. Turns out his 3 pals all had the proper visa's for working. acquired through an agency. Against sage advice, he had borrowed money to fly with them on the flawed premise that he would be allowed in regardless. He hasn't been seen around the traps since he got back so he's either hiding from the loan shark or it's that bloody loss of face thing again.

Korea's GDP per capita is over twice Thailand's. So my guess is that they're not sneaking in to take minimum wage jobs. That's not to say they may not end up cheated when it's all said and done...

So, if you were lazy like me (and really didn't care all that much), what would be your very first go-to number to compare one economy to the other? Assume I don't want to spend the time to do a dissertation on why Thai's sneak in to Korea to work... That's a pretty safe assumption, BTW.

Sorry, made a mistake, what I thought was South Korea's minimum wages per day is actually per hour, turns out they earn almost 10 times as much as here!

pookiki Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Let all the Thai migrant works who want to seek work go with both government's blessing through a signed and enforced bilateral MOU. Then, let all the Myanmar, Lao, and Cambodian workers enter Thailand with government's blessing through signed and enforced bilateral MOUs -- problem solved!! Except that Thais might have to learn a second language other than English! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadilo Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 More likely coming back to the wrath of the money lender he borrowd the money from to go work in korea now he has no income to pay it backI think you’re right. My partners brother and his wife recently went there and did it all through an agent. Now fruit picking/ farm working earning 40,000 each/ month but paying back lumps of it each month back to the borrower. They plan on staying as long as they can or get caught as I’m not sure how long they can legally work there For them it’s worth the risk.

I would contend that illegal work in Thailand would not be on the scale it currently is if Thailand didn't has such archaic and restrictive labour laws coupled with the corrupt and poorly paid / resourced enforcement agencies. Not sure what sex has to do with working?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
