Myanmar migrant workers harvest chili peppers in a field in the Mae Sot area, Tak province, Thailand, near the border with Myanmar. Many of these workers have traveled from central Myanmar's Bago Region, rather than from nearby border towns, to find employment. The number of migrant workers in Mae Sot has increased significantly since the military coup in Myanmar in 2021. Workers typically earn 5 Thai Baht (approx.$0.14 USD) per kilogram of chilies, harvesting between 60 to 100 kilograms per day. For many, this agricultural work is one of several seasonal day-labor jobs they rely on for their livelihood.
