Abstract

Over 120,000 Burmese migrants and their dependents registered with the Thai authorities in the four provinces in the south of Thailand were issued temporary identity (ID) cards, according to July 2004 statistics. Most of them lost their cards during the tsunami. Of them, about 7,000 were employed in the sectors most affected by the tsunami: fisheries, construction and tourism. There are also many unregistered migrants working illegally in Thailand who have lost family members, their homes and their jobs. Most unregistered migrants are women.
