A wanted Phuket suspect, in relation to alleged human trafficking charges, has been arrested in Krabi.

 

Officers arrested 47 year old Suppachart Jirawattanakun, a resident from Lampang, yesterday. He was arrested following the issuing of an arrest warrant from the Phuket Provincial Court on January 13, 2018 over human trafficking charges.

 

In 2017 officers discovered that at ‘The Rich Massage’ shop in Sakoo there were girls, some under 18 years of age, who were working in the business as prostitutes.

 

Tambon Sakoo is in Thalang, south of the Phuket airport, on the island’s west coast.

 

Officers conducted a sting operation at ‘The Rich Massage’ where they found Suppachart as the manager. He has been allegedly offering his ‘girls’  to customers for 1,500 baht per one hour.

 

He was taken to Sakoo Police Station to face legal action.

Can he not be charged with extortion 1500 Baht per hour

Instead of building huge fancy malls trains to nowhere and empty blocks of overpriced apartments I think it is time the government got real and built a couple of dozen super jails in the middle of the jungle.theres no re-educating these criminals once they are let out they soon turn back to the old trade that they know best.

He was the manager, what about the owner ?, should

they not be facing the same charges.....or did they not

know what was going on at the "Rich massage",at 

1,500 THB an hour that's a good name for the joint.

Is there really that much of a demand for under 18s?  Gosh, at my age, 25, 35, 45 look smashing!
