After arriving home safely over the weekend, the five Thai nationals who were held captive by Hamas in Gaza for over a year thanked everyone involved in securing their freedom and insisted they would not be returning to work overseas.
Officials from the Department of Labour on Tuesday met with Sathien Suwannakham, 36, one of the freed hostages, at his home in Nong Bua Lam Phu to present a 3,000-baht family support fund.
