SONGKHLA: Forty-one illegal migrants from Myanmar were caught on Tuesday as they boarded pickup trucks in Hat Yai district to take them to the southern border with Malaysia, where they had been promised there would be jobs.
The action followed informants' reports that a large group of people who had entered the country illegally had arrived in the area on Sunday night and were hiding in forest near Moo 1 village in tambon Khuan Lang of Hat Yai district. They were waiting for vehicles to take them to the border.
