On the 28th February 2018, the Royal Thai Embassy together with the Office of Labour Affairs from Riyadh dispatched 15 Thai workers hired by Kharafi National Company back to Thailand with the support of the assistance fund for Thai workers seeking jobs abroad and the fund raised by the Thai Community in kuwait.  Kharafi National Company is going out of business due to lack of cash flow and can no longer pay for the workers' salary.  The company has so far abandoned at least 10,000 foreign workers, 27 of which are Thai workers.  The Royal Thai Embassy and the Office of Labour Affairs, Riyadh have provided assistance to these Thai workers and repatriated all of them back home.  The Embassy will follow up on the indemnities and pending salaries, of these Thai workers.
