A 28‑year‑old woman from Yala was found dead in a canal along the Thai‑Cambodian border after attempting to escape forced labour in Cambodia on Wednesday.
Police said the woman, identified only as Faseeyah, died while attempting to cross from Poipet back into Thailand near the Rong Kluea Market border crossing in Sa Kaeo province, after being deceived and sold into illegal labour in Cambodia.
