Don’t worry the Cambodians are coming back to Thailand… Or are they?

By Bangkok Pundit Jun 22, 2014 

Some 200,000 Cambodian migrant workers have left Thailand and gone back to Cambodia and on some days up to 40,000 a day have left, but the Bangkok Post tells us not to worry with an article with the headline “Cambodian workers return as crackdown fears abate”. Key excerpt:

Cambodian workers who last week fled Thailand en masse have begun trickling back into the country as concerns over a harsh military crackdown are easing, officials say.

Col Phichit Meekhunsut, commander of a special task force unit under the 12th Military Ranger Regiment, yesterday visited a border checkpoint in Sa Kaeo’s Aranyaprathet district, which was set up by soldiers, police and customs officers to check on Cambodian migrants returning to the country.

More than 100 Cambodians entered the country yesterday through the Aranyaprathet border from the Cambodian town of Poipet, he said.

BP: More than 100? This constitutes news of of returning Cambodian workers?
