BANGKOK, THAILAND - FEBRUARY 09: Bannawat Saethao, one of the recently released Thai hostages, reunites with his family after arriving to Suvarnabhumi Airport on February 09, 2025 in Bangkok, Thailand. Five of the remaining Thai hostages, who were released after 482 days in captivity in Gaza following their abduction by Hamas on October 7, have arrived at Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport, while one Thai national remains captive in Gaza. Approximately 30,000 Thai migrant workers reside in Israel, primarily from Thailand's northeastern Isaan region, attracted by the high earning potential of farm work in Israel.
