Thai workers with their sights set on berry-picking in Finland could end up in debt rather than turn a profit, the Thai Embassy in Helsinki has warned.
In a post on the Facebook page of the Thai Embassy in Finland, officials have sought to raise awareness of the fact that many Thais who travelled to the European nation to pick berries believing they would return home with a lot of money have actually ended up owing money due to hidden costs.
The post, which includes a Thai language infographic, says: “Public Announcement: People intending to collect wild berries in Finland should be aware of the costs and debt involved prior to travel as well as the risks of seasonal price fluctuations.
“Calculate carefully or you may return home with debt.”
