Crime Woman Extradited from Bahrain Over Human Trafficking Charges
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A 57-year-old woman has been extradited from Bahrain to face charges of human trafficking after allegedly luring young Thai women into forced prostitution under the guise of legitimate employment. Ms Aichaliya, a Thai national, was taken into custody at Suvarnabhumi Airport upon arrival on Gulf Air flight GF152 from Manama, Bahrain, at 10:30 on 29 May. She is wanted under two warrants issued by the Thai Criminal Court in connection with a cross-border human trafficking network operating between Thailand and Bahrain. Pol. Lt. Gen. Phanumart Boonyalak, Commissioner of the Immigration Bureau, and Pol. Maj. Gen. Cherngron Rimphadee, Commander of Immigration Division 2, oversaw the coordinated arrest following cooperation with Thailand’s Office of the Attorney General and Bahraini authorities. The arrest follows an extradition request made by Thai authorities, which was approved by Bahrain’s criminal justice system. The case was facilitated by the Office of International Affairs and Interpol, who coordinated the suspect’s return under extradition law. According to investigators, Ms Aichaliya was part of a network that operated between 2016 and 2017, recruiting Thai women to work in Bahrain under the pretext of jobs in massage parlours and hospitality. Upon arrival, victims had their passports confiscated, were isolated from contact with family, and were coerced, through threats, physical violence, and detention, into providing sexual services in establishments in Manama. Survivors of the trafficking operation reported being forced to service multiple clients per day, with all earnings seized by the network. They also recounted being denied communication with the outside world, physically abused and closely guarded to prevent escape. The charges against Ms Aichaliya include conspiracy to traffic persons, procuring and deceiving individuals for prostitution, and illegal detention and confinement with intent to exploit. Authorities confirmed that she was part of a multi-tiered criminal structure, involving recruiters in Thailand, coordinators and enforcers in Bahrain. Officials described the arrest as a major success in the ongoing fight against transnational human trafficking. The operation involved close coordination between the Royal Thai Police, the Office of the Attorney General and the Bahraini branch of Interpol. Following her arrest, Ms Aichaliya was informed of her rights and transferred to the Anti-Trafficking in Persons Division (ATP), where she will face prosecution under Thai law.

Community Real Estate Firm Denies Links to Chinese ‘Grey Capital’ in Pattaya Controversy
Picture courtesy of TMN The management of Baidi International (Pattaya) Real Estate Asset Management Co., Ltd. has firmly denied any connection to alleged Chinese “grey capital” investment networks, following a wave of online speculation and media reports. Mr Kham Saeyang, a company director, clarified that recent accusations stemmed from a misunderstanding regarding the financial transactions of certain property buyers. According to Mr Kham, some buyers may have used Chinese nationals with Thai bank accounts to transfer funds when purchasing real estate. However, he stressed that such transactions were conducted through legitimate banking channels and the company had no authority to verify the origin of the funds. “The company has no ties to Chinese grey capital. We are not a nominee for any foreign entity,” Mr Kham stated. “All shareholders and directors are 100% Thai. There is absolutely no foreign control over the company.” Mr Kham also addressed concerns regarding the firm’s employment structure. Out of 86 staff members, 76 are Thai (90%), while 10% are legally employed foreign nationals. The company assured that all foreign workers were hired in compliance with Thai labour regulations. He further clarified a recent incident and inspection, in which three Chinese nationals were found on the premises during an official inspection. These individuals, Mr Kham explained, had already resigned from the company and were merely visiting to close their personal WeChat accounts. “It was a misunderstanding. These individuals were no longer employees and were not engaged in any work-related activity,” he said. Bidi International provides a range of real estate services, including condominium and village cleaning, property brokerage, and post-sale support such as maintenance and cleaning under a fully legal structure. Mr Kham emphasised that the firm operates under lawful agency contracts, with all payments transferred to the company’s accounts for processing, including tax, transfer fees and commissions. The company claims to have built a solid reputation among a broad client base, not only among Chinese investors but also Thai nationals and clients from several other countries. Due to the damage to the company’s image and client trust caused by the false allegations, Bidi International is now preparing legal action against certain social media pages and news outlets that it accuses of spreading misleading or defamatory information. “We have always cooperated fully with state authorities and remain ready to present further documents to any agency requiring verification,” said Mr Kham. “Baidi International is a Thai-owned, transparent business, and we remain committed to expanding our operations with integrity.” Adapted by Asean Now from TMN 2025-05-31.
