For Migrant Workers during Songkran (Water Festival)

According to Thailand Labour Minister, migrant workers from Laos, Cambodia and Myanmar, who want to return to their home countries to celebrate Songkran (Water Festival) between April 1st and May 15th, will be exempted from paying re-entry fees.

The decision to exempt migrant workers from those countries was approved by the policy committee on the management of alien workers. He said that the exemption extends to dependents of migrant workers who hold passports or travel documents, which allow them to stay in Thailand temporarily and their remaining permitted stay must not end before May 15th.
