Having made a facetious comment earlier, I guess it’s now time to get serious. All we have are the reported complaints of Mrs Parawee. There’s nothing from any of the 13 refugees about why they appear to have become uncooperative after initially being so helpful. What happened to change things?

D7,Its two way streets, Thailand accommodate them as visitors which in realality are unwelcome ones,because of under humanitarian law Thailand can't turn them away, In turn as long term visitors(6months at least)should learn how to help the host country. Have you ever heard Thai proverb.....Yu Ban Tan Ya Ning Doo Dai.. do what ever you can even molding the clayed toys for the host'skids.They want to confirm to the world that they are so undesirable that the ethnic cleansing practice in their own country is necessary. We are Buddhist nation , the readers might say this, that's reason they came, They couldv'e docked in Malasia but they didn't.

Thai should stretch his patience even more because 6 months is quite a long time period. Just give them the best service you can offer, that's how to accommodate a visitors in our house.

Wow! This is breaking news!

A shelter in Trang's Muang district, holding 18 Royhinya ( 17 of them minors ) won't cook food, wash dishes and clean the place, and are making demands.

Give them a work visa and maybe they'll co-operate. We all know what happens if a non-Thai gets caught working without a proper work visa.

Maybe it's because they have heard that volunteer work of that kind in Thailand requires a work permit.
