think_too_mut Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 Japanese man nabbed at Bangkok airport for human trafficking Saturday, August 7, 2004 at 07:33 JST BANGKOK ? Thai police arrested a Japanese man Thursday night upon his arrival at Bangkok's international airport from Tokyo and charged him with human trafficking, a police source said Friday. Yoshiyuki Misawa, 32, allegedly trafficked Thai women to Japan for the sexual trade, the Crime Suppression Bureau source said. A 22-year-old Thai woman filed a grievance against Misawa, saying he sent her to a karaoke bar in Nagoya where she was forced to have sex with customers. The woman told police that she was locked up at the karaoke bar and also tortured there, but managed to escape and sought shelter at the Thai Embassy in Tokyo.

Oldtimer Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 Yes, it is about time thats something was done about the people who lue Thai lassies with silly tales of model and hostess jobs. The trouble is that the Japanese police are not doing enough to stamp out this traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Hippie Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 You would think by now the girls would have heard enough of these tails and would be a bit smarter...or the government should have certain places registered as o.k. to work etc, similar to the program the Phillipines has for overseas workers...and "mail order" brides.

khunsanuk Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 Hi, "You would think by now the girls would have heard enough of these tails and would be a bit smarter..." The problem is that many people are just too naive and there will always be those who cannot resist the chance at good money. BTW, scum like this should be shot! Sanuk!

check_bin_krap Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 A big problem is the reluctance by those who have gone abroad to tell the tale how it is. Too many portray it as the easy way to success, its fear to lose face and admit that the choice was a failure. For those who have gotten something out of it, they do not tell the dark sides. All tourists seem so rich also, right? They simply can not comprehend that we take public transport in our home countries, and don't eat at expensive resturants every day or have maids at home. Though I never pretended my life in Norway was anything else than it is, my ex got a shock coming here. I learned my lesson, have been careful and prentended to my wife that life in Norway is worse than it actually is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 People surely do not tell the dark side of things. As for people becoming aware of things -- who has 7 baht for a newspaper when wages are only 165 baht for the whole day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 This was also done in San Francico. The girls were taken to Japan for the same reason and then removed to similar confinement. The Japanese pimp was caught in San Francisco and spilled the beans allowing for extensive raids in Japan and a very long prison term in California with a charge waiting in Japan. Request for Extradition, denied! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That newspaper costs 50 baht in Norway.. My point was that life as a tourist in Thailand is quite different from what we live at home. The average Thais do not see this. Cheers!
