Phetcharat Sin-uay, spokeswoman and deputy permanent secretary for Labour Ministry, said Chatchai Khuridee, 33, from Udon Thani, was recovering at Chi Mei Hospital in Tainan city. His relatives have made Facebook posts, seeking help to bring him back home to Udon Thani. Phetcharat said the Labour Ministry has cooperated with the Thai Labour Office in Kaohsiung to have the man, who worked for Uni-President Co Ltd in Tainan, admitted to hospital. Since then, the Labour office has been monitoring the case and providing necessary help. The worker would be repatriated after his condition improves to a point where doctors believe it is safe to send him back to Thailand, the spokeswoman added.
