Hundreds of migrants from Myanmar on Thursday gave Myanmar's Aung San Suu Kyi a thunderous welcome at the start of her three-day visit. It's her first to Myanmar's neighbor since her National League for Democracy swept to election victory in November.
Suu Kyi is visiting in her official capacity as state counsellor and foreign minister. She and Thai Prime Minister Prayut Chan-ocha will sign a pact to help more than two million Myanmar migrants, who are doing back-breaking jobs, work legally in Thailand.
