Dear Editor
I wonder if we are seeing real change ahead of the US State Department's Trafficking in Persons Report which is due to be made public in June.

Can't believe my eyes what I just have read here.
That is exactly what a doctor ordered to make this investigation successful.

Maybe he just needs a hand to solve BKK's traffic problems and called in the experts to help.

I hope they investigate bank accounts of these officers and there families instead of usual transfer and hope everyone forgets about them

Same same but different:

Although the TIP report will be out again, there shouldn't be any reason to remove Thailand from Tier 3.
Virtually no arrests or action has been taken that has rescued the thousands that are missing and enslaved.
Thailand needs to carry on what they are doing right now, for another year to see the results.
This is a start and no where near the end.

A very quick transfer of 38 senior Government officers, and more expect to follow. What now is next step of the Government concerning the transferred 38 + 'more' Government officers/officials? Just a transfer, that is it?

transferred - not sacked, not prosecuted, no fine, etc.
What change?
The thai police force and army numbers are significantly larger than uk or euro countries yet prosecute far less !
