Missing in Thailand: Taiwanese woman suspected to be trafficked
Editorial in the Bangkok Post: https://www.bangkokpost.com/opinion/opinion/2907696/mae-sots-sour-trafficking-record Victims from 60 countries. According to victims, they are swept through immigration at Bangkok's international airports and driven through border checkpoints to Mae Sot without issue. Some are even flown directly to Mae Sot.

Those who refuse or fail to meet quotas face torture, including beatings, electrocution, and other abuse. They must pay a ransom if they want to be released.

Now I do one better I'm in Pattaya you want to come down I will gladly pay for your trip or let me know exactly how we can meet up so. It never hurts to meet new people anywhere in Thailand. I pick up the first round. -
