Honestly tripping over these on every large construction site and adjacent shanty from Chiang Rai to Pattani <deleted> !! Must be over a million of them here! Brought in by HISO Thai Owners of Construction Companies ( just arrest all of them if serious) with kickbacks to Immigration & Local Police. Hardly difficult detective work is it ?

So punish the impoverished economic 

migrants and ignore the guy employing them.

Those at the top will not get prosecuted if they have enough medals.

But, but, but DPM prawit, the army and the police all denied the existence of human trafficking barely two days ago, in light of the Al Jazeera documentary.

I'm shocked, shocked to hear there's human trafficking in thailand. Now where is my Burmese maid? (apologies to Capt. Renault)

 

There are a lot of shameful activities that are part of the thai social contract, none more insidious and evil than human trafficking. That is is accepted, and the authorities make money off both the transport of, and utilization of human beings is horrid.

If there is a crime here, let them decide whether or not it is a victimless crime.  If not, who is the victim and who is the perpetrator?  Punishment for the victim only?

Many thanks for this link to this excellent Aljazeera story which I watched with my wife.  One element of hope is the awakening of the younger generation (alas, via media that I personally despise) to what's going on in the world at large, not only in Thailand but around the world.

 

Aljazeera really is superior to so many of the Western "news" outlets.
