After the Thai military coup in 2014, the media started to report the seizure and banishment of migrant workers, Cambodian workers, who have been deported by Thailand, increased remarkably. On 12 June 2014, around 16,508 Cambodian workers have been deported while Thai government released the statements that it was doing nothing to be consistent with Thai prime minister denied the crackdown on irregular migrant workers. In order to return those workers back to Thailand, both Cambodia and Thailand quickly introduced the policy reforms to make regular migrations channels more approachable. The study tries to seek the action of Thai government led by General Prayuth Chan O Cha to respect of human rights obligations on Cambodian labour who return back and work in Thailand. Thailand respects the basic rights of irregular and regular migrant workers and treat them as human beings according to the national and international laws that it has ratified many treaties such International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, conventions of International Labour Organization and others. Furthermore, the study tries to analyze that Thai military government complies with international human rights obligations including labour rights because it wants to save its reputation in international community
