The use of 'alien' in legislation is a normal and appropriate use for it. In law, an alien is any person (including organizations) who is not a citizen or national of a specific country. Thailand is just using the English terms used by English speaking countries.

Someone underage (18 by international UN Convention ratified by around 200 countries) cannot legally sell sex, and since they cannot... it is by default non-consensual - which means trafficking is applicable. [same logic behind statutory rape - no defence of it 'was consensual']. Widely publicized nabbing of them, makes it more difficult to let it slide for money... even if it was possible - most western countries laws on this subject extend to their citizens travelling in other countries. I can pretty much guarantee that someone from each of those embassies are in contact with Thai police requesting to be kept abreast of all the legal evidence as well.

Umm, slashing someones tires, putting sugar in the gas tank, etc. are dick moves.... stabbing someone.... that is a wee bit beyond being a 'dick move'
