Popular Post billbellamy Posted March 13, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted March 13, 2015 Why is not their boss arrested as well? I would imagine the girls did not turn down a work permit but rather never given one. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post EnglishJohn Posted March 13, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted March 13, 2015 Surely the responsibility should lie with the employer to check the staff have the relevant work permits in order have the information to pay tax to the government ?. This seems all wrong. Those girls look pretty young and clueless and will do anything to earn money. It's ridiculous that it's not the employer who has been arrested. As usual in Thailand, it seems the law is written by those in power to protect themselves and their 'supporters'. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As usual in Thailand, it seems the law is written by those in power to protect themselves and their 'supporters'. The game was played the same way in Singapore, that land of law abidingness. A shop would be raided, the maseusses (usually Thai or Chinese) would be arrested, and they would kept in an immigration cell for a couple of days before being sent home with the appropriate stamp on their passport. The shop would be open just a few days later with a whole new batch of girls. I think the owners would be fined some amount equivalent to less than a couple day's income. It went on like this for a good 10 years. It was only two years ago that the police got serious about the whole thing and actually shut the shops down.

But policing is not regarded as the responsibility of the seller...... many examples of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BestBitterPhuket Posted March 14, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted March 14, 2015 (edited) Where is the real criminal, the employer. What a total joke that police force is. This is why Thailand should remain in the bottom tier when it comes to human trafficking. The victims of trafficking are arrested, while the slave traders and slave owners walk free so that they can do it again and again. Disgusting!

Bogan Koori Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 I feel so cheated. I got a massage off the one in the green shirt 3 weeks ago. I was told it was a 100% Thai oil massage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
