Ranong human-smuggling incident
The Ranong human-smuggling incident was a human smuggling tragedy in Ranong, Thailand in 2008. Fifty-four persons suffocated to death in a tiny seafood container while being smuggled from Song Island, Myanmar, to Phuket, Thailand.
==What happened==
On the night of 9 April 2008, 121 Burmese workers were transported illegally by fishing boat from Song Island in Myanmar to a landing near Ranong, Thailand. All were illegal migrant workers seeking transport to Phuket, where they sought jobs as day laborers. Each had paid smugglers 6,000 baht〔 or 10,000 baht for the journey. All 121 persons were herded into an airtight seafood refrigeration unit on the back of a truck. It measured 6 metres by 2.2 metres (20 feet by 7 feet), meaning standing room only for the passengers.
Thirty minutes into the journey, conditions in the container became stifling. The workers banged on sides of the container to alert the driver, but he did not stop and warned everyone to remain quiet so as to avoid alerting Thai police as they passed through checkpoints. He turned on the air-conditioning, but it failed after a few minutes. When the driver finally stopped on a quiet road running along the Andaman Sea 90 minutes later many, mostly women, had already collapsed. After viewing the carnage, the driver fled.
Among the dead were 36 women, one 8-year-old girl, and 17 men.
