Myanmar workers arrive at Mae Sot border checkpoint early in the morning, preparing to cross the border to return home. They were required to return and report to work by April 30 or they would lose their work permits. Mr Waranon said during this period there will be no registration of migrant workers who entered the country illegally. Pol Col Somchai Detphae, the Mae Sot immigration chief, said all 16 channels were opened to expedite the process. He intended to return to work on time after the water festival.
