Lot of Burmese migrant and contract laborers in Gulf States, including domestic workers. Also in Singapore, Thailand and Burmese military regime usually "places them" either formally, with passports or because they had to flee Burma. Most are victims themselves of trafficking, either "legalized" or "informal."
Many migrant laborers in jobs no one wanted to do, such as shrimp shelling, fishing, (prostitution), tuna canning--even saw Burmese child about 10? collecting trash in Thailand. Many stories.
