The Thailand Trade and Economic Office, Labour Division, Kaohsiung, would like to extend our gratitude to all contributors for their kind donations in the case of Mr. Chatchai Khuridee, a Thai worker at Uni-President Glass Industrial Co., Ltd in Tainan District, Taiwan.

Mr Chatchai was infected by parasites after eating raw snails. The parasites damaged his neurological system, resulting in a coma and paralysis. He was hospitalized in Taiwan from 6 April to 15 May 2018 and was then transported back to Thailand on 15 May for continued treatment. Surprisingly, when he arrived in Thailand, his condition showed some improvement and he could respond to his parents by blinking.

Contributions for assistance to Mr Chatchai totaled NT$ 527,549 , for which we extend heartfelt thanks to:
