Police Intensify Investigation into Suspected Human Trafficking Ring After Rescuing Young Thai Woman

Authorities are expanding their investigation into a suspected human trafficking ring following the rescue of a 21-year-old Thai woman who was lured to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) under false pretenses and forced into the sex trade. The young woman, originally from Lampang, was deceived by a fraudulent job advertisement that promised legitimate employment abroad.

The woman returned to Thailand yesterday, arriving at U-Tapao Airport in Rayong. Kosolwat Inthuchanyong, Director-General of the Office of Rights Protection, Legal Aid, and Enforcement, confirmed her arrival. Upon her return, officials from the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security will interview her to determine if she is indeed a victim of human trafficking.

The young woman explained that she had responded to a social media job advertisement for work in traditional massage, attracted by the promise of high wages in the UAE. Importantly, she was assured that she would not be required to provide any sexual services. However, upon her arrival in the UAE, the owner of the massage shop confiscated her passport and attempted to coerce her into engaging in sexual activities with customers. Refusing to comply, she sought help, eventually drawing media attention to her plight.

Kosolwat stated that if she is confirmed as a trafficking victim, officials will request police intervention to identify and apprehend those responsible for the trafficking ring. The woman’s case first came to public attention when her grandmother appealed to state agencies for help in rescuing her granddaughter, a plea that was reported by the Bangkok Post.

“After receiving the complaint, prosecutors collaborated with the Department of Consular Affairs to provide necessary assistance,” Kosolwat added, highlighting the coordinated efforts to bring the young woman back to safety.

In a related development, police in Chachoengsao, a province east of Bangkok, arrested a woman suspected of tricking another woman into working as a prostitute in the UAE. The suspect, one of six involved in the case, allegedly invited the victim to work as a masseuse at a spa in Dubai, promising a monthly salary of 40,000 baht. Upon her arrival in Dubai, the woman, known as “Ms. Lilly,” confiscated the victim’s passport and forced her into providing sexual services.

This case underscores the ongoing challenges in combating human trafficking and highlights the importance of vigilance and coordinated efforts by authorities to protect vulnerable individuals from such exploitation.
