On 4 August 2026, the Labour Ministry met the Thai Contractors Association about shortages linked to the Thai–Cambodian border situation and conflict in Myanmar.

The discussion covered workers already in Thailand, Myanmar MOU workers reaching four years, and additional recruitment channels. Some measures remained proposals or approvals in principle, requiring relevant official announcements before implementation.
