“Myanmar Migrant Workers in Thailand” opens tonight at the Foreign Correspondent’s Club of Thailand to show the lives of migrant workers from Myanmar who escaped poverty, conflict and abuse to work in Thailand. Millions are estimated to be living illegally in Thailand, but are their lives improved?
On display is the work of freelance photographer Sittichai Jittatad, 35, whose work has been featured in the Thai National Geographic Magazine.
The exhibition opens tonight at 7pm.
