Today, Thailand has continuously expanded its business and landscape that conductive to smuggling for immigrants very easily, and it’s also known as a transit country through other country such as Lao, Cambodia, and Myanmar also. Therefore, there is transmigration of many immigrants to Thailand to work because of their poverty, unemployment, takingadvantage; and natural-disaster’s problem. Consequently, it’s caused the transmigrations to have less choice of limitation and option to work, and they are violated of their human right in various ways that affect their quality of life as the worker.
