What are the risks of holding a PJ passport with a tourist visa in Thailand?

The conversation addresses the legal implications for Myanmar citizens holding a PJ passport in Thailand while on a tourist visa. It highlights that working in Thailand on a tourist visa is illegal, emphasizing the necessity of having the appropriate labor-approved (LA) visa and a work permit. Discussants inform that those who transition from a labor-approved status to a tourist visa must first cancel their work permits and visas, and that returning to Myanmar might be required if their employment ceases.
