The Anti-Human Trafficking Division (AHTD) led a raid on a spa in Lat Phrao district, Bangkok, which was alleged to be a front for a human trafficking operation.

 

The raid resulted in the arrest of three men, 43 year old Sakdakij (no surname provided), 26 year old Anucha (no surname) and 30 year old Kamsawat (no surname), who were reportedly the manager and supervisors of the establishment.

 

The law enforcement operation today, October 28, was initiated following a tip-off from The Exodus Road, a non-profit organisation dedicated to fighting human trafficking. They reported that the spa was covertly employing underage boys, under 18 years old, for sexual services, purportedly promoted online as masseurs.

 

In addition to the arrests, the AHTD also rescued a Burmese minor who had been duped into working at the spa. The boy was taken into protective custody according to the law.
