My family raises crops, fruit for the most part. Helping out at home, I don't earn more than 30,000 baht a year (less than US $ 1,000). Also, my mother is quite elderly, and my two younger sisters are still in school. After I saved up enough money to pay the agent, I came to work in Taiwan, so that they could live a better life.
在泰北的生活並不好過，我家務農，以種水果為主，在家中幫忙，平均一年也不過三萬多泰銖（台幣三萬左右）的收入，加上我的母親年紀已經很大了，兩個妹妹卻都還在學校唸書，為了讓他們過好日子，存夠仲介費後，我就到台灣來工作。
