A group of 112 undocumented Myanmar migrant workers in Thailand returned to the Kawthoung port of entry aboard a motorized schooner, state media reported on 17 July.
The group was the 12th group of undocumented Myanmar migrant workers to return to Kawthoung from Thailand after a recent immigration crackdown that began on 29 June.
Since that time, 1,617 Myanmar migrants have returned to Kawthoung.
