Rohingya refugees in Prachuap Khiri Khan province have gone on a hunger strike in demand of an improvement in the meals provided by Thai authorities.

About 120 Rohingha men have been transferred from Phang Nga province to a detention facility run by immigration police in tambon Khlong Wan, Muang district of Prachuap Khiri Khan province, awaiting their deportation.

Disease control officials also gave them physical check-ups with help from Myanmarese interpreters.

Ok. Budha doesn't complain to help, now is the time to let them know who really is Budha. They were rejected by their own brother, so they came for help to Budha...

Dont comment for what u don't know
75baht is too much even for thai people
a lot of poor thai people live off 20baht a day and they still lived.

Rohingya is lazy tribe and so demanding,
when we donate lot of cloths, they said on TV that they prefer money over cloths...

they stay in the center and not doing any work.
only thais have to do laundry and cooking for them
