Displaced Thais in Ranong have petitioned Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin, opposing the government's land bridge mega-project and its deep-sea port, which they fear will destroy their fishing livelihoods.
They also demand accelerated issuance of Thai ID cards, highlighting their stateless status which restricts their employment options solely to fishing and prevents them from working elsewhere.
