Hong Kong (CNN) -- Amid the crush of migrant workers who gathered to see Aung San Suu Kyi in Bangkok Wednesday was Sein Htay, a Burmese worker who has been in Thailand for 17 years.
He took his son, two-year-old Waiyanmin, to greet the Burmese opposition leader on her first visit outside Myanmar in more than 20 years.
They gathered with thousands of others outside a migrant center on the outskirts of the Thai capital where Suu Kyi spoke to an elated and emotional crowd, many of whom said they never thought the day would come.
"There's no better feeling in the world than what happened," Sein told CNN through migrant rights activist Andy Hall. "He said he's happy beyond words, cannot describe the feeling. So positive," said Hall.
Hall described walking about the streets in the suburb of Mahachai, home to the highest concentration of Burmese migrants in Thailand in the hours before Suu Kyi's arrival.
"All the workers were saying they just thought it was rumors. They said until they actually saw her face, they still didn't believe it," he said. "And then she was there, speaking to them. They didn't feel like she was there, they were so amazed."
From a balcony high above the crush of people, Suu Kyi told them that she would try her best to look after migrant workers' rights.
"The laws of this land which do provide protection for workers are not always observed by everybody concerned," she said.
"We need to educate our workers as to their rights, by what kind of legal means there are for defending their rights, because whatever we negotiate with our host government we want to do it in a harmonious way. Of course we will also be asking for help and support from the local authorities," she said.
