Can hardly sleep The family is worried. So it was better to decide to return to the country. which takes a week Until I get back Because the employer pays wages slowly I tried to resist and refused to return. Many fellow workers were also threatened. If I return to Thailand now, I will not receive wages and insurance money. Many people are still hesitating. But I believe that the government has additional assistance measures of 50,000 baht per person along with low interest loans. It will help motivate fellow Thai workers in Israel to decide to return to the country more easily, perhaps up to 50%, because the main reason is that they are still willing to risk death and continue working. It's about debt that was borrowed for work. And some people have only been traveling to work for a few months. If you return to your family, it will be difficult.
