Dec 22, 2020 BANGKOK/SEOUL – The deaths of hundreds of mainly undocumented Thai migrant workers in South Korea have been uncovered by the Thomson Reuters Foundation, prompting the United Nations to call for inquiry into the fate of migrants known as “little ghosts.” At least 522 Thais have died in South Korea since 2015 84% of whom were undocumented according to data from the Thai Embassy in Seoul obtained via a freedom of information request. Four in 10 deaths were recorded as due to unknown causes while others were health related, accidents and suicides. The number of worker deaths hit a record annual high this year 122 as of mid-December according to the newly-revealed data from the Thai Embassy, amid growing concerns about the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on labor conditions.
