Living in Pathum Thani as a construction worker, Aut, 36, always dreamed of having a big income that could change his life. When he heard from his friends that picking berries in Sweden for just a couple months a year would mean a significant boost to their incomes, he jumped at the chance to travel and earn.
"They said the pay can reach six figures and that would help me clear my debts,'' he said.
Without construction work during the Covid-19 pandemic, he decided to join a group of 61 people, mainly hailing from the Northeast, to be seasonal workers in Sweden from July 13 to Sept 29.
