chainarong Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 It is a poor reflection on a country that promotes the beauty of the Kingdom for tourists, yet underneath the rigmarole, there is an underworld of filth and sadly this will not alter greatly till Thailand is made to clean up its act with possibly sanctions or O/Sea's accounts frozen , aimed at the Hi So, not the people......................... .

flyDelight Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Taking a bargirl to your hotelroom is in fact also human traficking, with the Thai style problem solving you can expect anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangkokfrog Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Gonna... gonna... gonna... etc. etc. etc. The government seems to think that the overseas watchers will be happy with more promises. I sincerely hope that they are proved wrong. The ONLY way that action will be taken on human trafficking is if the country is hurt either in the wallet or through BIG loss of face.

geriatrickid Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Even more rigorous,than doing next to nothing! the World is watching. regards Worgeordie The world isn't watching and no one really cares. If that was the case, all seafood caught and processed by exploited labour would no longer be allowed into the EU. Japan and China have never cared as it doesn't impact their business interests. The Russians? LOL. Who? The Arabs? Not likely. The North Americans? Nope. Otherwise sanctions would have been imposed long ago. Thailand can do as it pleases.

Srikcir Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 "A special unit for human trafficking elimination" Don't need a special unit. Just have ISOC stop trafficking. Or eliminate ISOC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
