Two human trafficking cases—one resulting in a conviction by a Finnish court in September last year and another in May—led to prison sentences of more than five years for a Finnish company executive and Thai broker Kanyakorn “Durian” Pongphit. As a result, Finnish authorities have tightened measures for importing workers from Thailand to pick wild berries for the season beginning in mid-July.
These stricter procedures have caused the Finnish embassy in Bangkok to reject visa applications from about 1,400 of over 3,200 Thai workers, leaving most of the wild-berry pickers from Isaan unemployed.
Pongsathon Tanjaroen, a reporter for The Isaan Record, obtained information that previously, several Thai brokers and private companies paid bribes to government agencies to speed up document processing for sending workers to pick wild berries, with bribe amounts totaling tens of millions of baht.

A Thai journalist friend informed me today of an attempted censorship by the Chinese Embassy in Bangkok.
A friendly reminder to the Chinese Embassy: attempting to censor news photos of protesters against Xi Jinping in Thailand—whether in Chiang Mai or outside the Chinese Embassy in Bangkok—will only backfire. It will simply lead more and more Thais to become disillusioned with China, because this is a clear attempt by China to interfere in the work of the Thai media.
No nation appreciates foreigners telling its media what can or cannot be reported. #Thailand #China #ThaiChina #XiJinping #ChineseEmbassy
