So they're arresting the victims rather than the traffickers, as usual - this has consistently been one of the main reasons that they keep ending up on the human trafficking watchlists of various countries.

I find the reports very confusing.

Are they arresting traffickers, or are they guides that are escorting people who have paid to be brought to Thailand?

The real Traffickers are still shopping in the Malls and enjoying the finer things in life.
