Oct. 6, 2009 -- SAMUT SAKHON, THAILAND: A Burmese woman hangs her laundry on the roof of her tenement building in Samut Sakhon, Thailand. The Thai fishing industry is heavily reliant on Burmese and Cambodian migrants. Burmese migrants crew many of the fishing boats that sail out of Samut Sakhon and staff many of the fish processing plants in Samut Sakhon, about 45 miles south of Bangkok. Migrants pay as much $700 (US) each to be smuggled from the Burmese border to Samut Sakhon for jobs that pay less than $5.00 (US) per day. Photo by Jack Kurtz / ZUMA Press
