The committee conducted an analysis of the aforementioned facts, and deliberated the information together with the provisions of the law and human rights principles and would like to address two issues as follows: 2.1 Does the Thai fishing industry use child labor and forced labor? If yes, how? Considering that, in general, the problem of labor rights violations in the Thai fishing industry is a feature of the Labor Protection Act B.E. 2541 (1998), the Labor Protection Act in Fisheries B.E. 2562 (2019) and the Royal Ordinance on Fisheries B.E. 2558, the three laws are related and connected in terms of their enforcement.

The investigation found that the problem of child labor in the Thai fishing industry has decreased. In 2020, there was no information about offences on fishing boats. However, the problem remained in the fisheries and service sector. For example, the Labor Protection and Welfare Office in the Prachuap Khiri Khan Province found that employers were employing child workers under the age of 15 years and imposed underage workers, under the age of 18 years, working from 10:00 p.m. – 6:00 a.m. which is an offense under the Labor Protection Act B.E. 2541 (1998).
