20 JUNE 2014 - SAMUT SAKHON, SAMUT SAKHON, THAILAND: Burmese migrant workers sort farm raised shrimp at a processing center in Samut Sakhon. Hundreds of thousands of migrant workers from Myanmar work in the Thai fishing industry. Samut Sakhon, (sometimes still called Mahachai, its historical name) is a large fishing port. Many Burmese live in the town and work in the fish process plants. Although hundreds of thousands of Cambodians fled Thailand last week after the military coup, the Burmese workers have stayed and are still working in many Thai towns. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
