That is because most people do not understand the definition of human trafficking. It is not saying the person is doing something against their will. It merely means the facilitation of a person from one place to another for the purpose of paid sex. So if the manager paid for a ticket from Isaan to Pattaya for a girl to work at the bar then that is human trafficking. If you paid a bar girl from Pattaya to go on holiday to Krabi with you, then that is also human trafficking.

"Human trafficking, also known as trafficking in persons, is a crime that involves compelling or coercing a person to provide labor or services, or to engage in commercial sex acts. The coercion can be subtle or overt, physical or psychological."

 

Not just sex.

There were quite a few Thai girls working there at the time,

One of Thailand's most successful exports, with Thai girls working in 'public relations' in every large European city while also serving to encourage people to visit LOS to enjoy the company of those in similar employment.

One of the other media reports I read on this incident seemed to be saying that all the age 18+ women bar workers that the police rounded up in this raid were being taken to the police station to be interviewed for information regarding the criminal case against the two primary suspects -- not because the young women themselves were underage.

 

Ferrang doing job reserved for Thais only of course!!!!????????????????

More like they came on their own accord to make money again like many other rural girls. I have not met a single bar girl who is an indentured servant and is not there of her own free will. Plust they were all above 18 and no drugs were found.

 

Interesting that they singled this bar out though, considering that every other bar has the same types of girls, young and who came from upcountry. BUTif the cops  really tried to dig deeper they would surely find really illegal operations where minors are held. 

 

Someone posted above that perhaps they didn't bribe the boys in brown, which sounds about right. 

Probably negotiations about the amount broke down.

In the international press now brit arrested for human trafficking. Good positive press for the family resort there.

Nothing burger. Families don't go to Soi 6 and most of them probably don't even know it exists.

Done what all do.

Nothing substantial found.

And now?

When will all the other bars on Soi 6 be raided and carried to police station.

Seems a case of missing connections/bribes.

 

Being ferried: are they thrown in barred buses and carted to Pattaya?

Carrying ankle tags to avoid fleeing?

Hypocrisy to it's best.

Prostitution in thailand is ILEGAL. Usually Thais run these whore houses masquerading as beer bars. 
How about the authorities arrest all owners of these so called "Beer Bars" lets see if the Thai people will be ok with that?

Nightwish group does not provide work permits ?

 

If thats the case then a lot of foreign "managers" in soi 6 will be rather nervous !!

Not just Soi 6, loads of farang bar managers in Pattaya, some one must be ‘issuing’ work permits to them if it’s a job they are not permitted to do ?

A clueless post. This may be true up country but not in Pattaya.

They do the minimum they need to do to look like they are enforcing the law.  It also does not help that there was a Westerner involved.  Wouldn't look as good if the establishment was 100% local owned.

How could Pattaya's very own Rupert Murdoch and his bastion of quality journalism have missed this story, I'm shocked I tell you. ????

The Elon Musk of the East will have his excuses ready.

No drugs found and all the girls were over the age limit. It's just a question of insufficient funds being made available to the police benevolent fund. Why single out this bar among hundreds of others?
