Police swooped on a massage parlour in the northern province of Tak after a tip-off on underage sex trafficking. The owner of the parlour was arrested and two teenage Burmese girls were rescued.

 

The Anti Trafficking In Persons Division Police (ATPD) received a tip-off that a Thai woman, 40 year old Suphaporn Makaew, was operating an underage sex trafficking racket behind her massage business. To verify the information, an undercover police officer posed as a customer as he visited the massage parlour, located on the Mae Sot-Umphang Road in the Mae Sot district of Tak.

 

Supaporn offered sexual services to the officer, explaining that two Burmese girls, aged 16 and 17, were available for 1,500 baht each. She added that he could take the girls out of the shop to a hotel or house and request both a massage and sex service. The officer then revealed his identity and arrested Supaporn.

 

The two Burmese girls are considered the victims and are now under the care of the Department of Children and Youth.

 

Supaporn confessed to the crime, admitting that she gave the girls 1,000 baht and kept 500 baht for herself. Supaporn faced five charges including:

 

  • Section 52 of the Anti-Trafficking in Person Act: committing an offence of trafficking a child aged over 15 years old but not yet 18 years old. The penalty will be imprisonment from six years to 12 years and a fine from 120,000 baht to 240,000 baht.

...if the picture is to be trusted, it would be more like a dining room with people sitting around a table full of food

I can tell you've never visited a rural Thai massage parlour (yet).

I thought this only happened in Pattaya ?

You thought wrong.  Pattaya tends to cater to western sex tourists in glitzy bars and gogos; the sleazier local scene tends to feature more trafficked and underage providers.

I was being sarcastic.

Burmese girls

Thank you Asean Now for using the words "Burmese girls" rather than "girls from Myanmar". Myanmar was a renaming by one of the earlier corrupt and evil Juntas in 1989.

 

The official English name was changed by the country's government from the "Union of Burma" to the "Union of Myanmar" in 1989, and still later to the "Republic of the Union of Myanmar". Since then, those name changes have been the subject of controversies and mixed incidences of adoption.(Google)
