Thailand downgraded to be among worst human trafficking centres
BANGKOK: -- Kingdom may face sanctions after downgrade; Malaysia also 'shamed'
Thailand was yesterday downgraded to the lowest level in the US State Department's annual Trafficking in Persons (TIP) report - a move that could trigger sanctions by the United States.
After years of warnings, the US named and shamed Thailand, Malaysia and Venezuela, dumping them at the bottom of a list of countries accused of failing to tackle modern-day slavery, AFP reported from Washington.
Thailand had been on Tier 2 watchlist for four years for poor law enforcement before it dropped to the lowest rung - Tier 3.

Cant be blamed on the coup It really shows what the Thaksin regime has done for Thailand's image over the years.
The Yingluck administration got downgraded the last time and vowed to make changes..... they did nothing.... Why?
Because there was no money to be made from it for ministers.... that's why.

I read this earlier and checked out the report. Saw Cambodia tier 2
I wanted to check the data collection methodology and how they reached the conclusions but haven't yet.

hard to say whether they are more corrupt than lying sacks of shit.
Wait, one kinda blends into the other don't it?
Goddamn SHAME it's such a nice place with such kickass tasty food.
I'll go some...but I have no desire to live there til I die anymore. Might as well stay in the U$A. Same lies, same corruption.
