MPB chief Pol Lt-General Sanit Mahathavorn vowed yesterday to continue the crackdown till his jurisdiction was free of human traffickers.
He said the gang locked the victims up in hotel rooms while they waited for prostitution jobs. After they banged on hotel doors for help, staff rescued the women and sent them to the Royal Thai Embassy in Seoul. Warisara and her South Korean husband fled the country before investigators reached them, Wasan said. Warisara later told police that her contact in South Korea hired her husband to find Thai women for the sex trade.
She said she was helped by Udon Thani man Somkid Hawichien, who is still being sought, to find women by promising them massage jobs in South Korea. Each victim paid a Bt30, fee to Somkid and Warisara. Wednesday, December 18, Columns Photogenic. Econ Biz insights Corporate. Thailand World. South Korea Thai woman human-trafficking. More in News.
