Miss A said that she is from the Northeastern region. Previously, he worked as a car salesman in Bangkok. During November 2023, he went on a trip with friends to Mae Sot District, Tak Province and met a Chinese person who said that He himself opened an entertainment venue in Tak Province. and invited him to go work for P’R as well He would have an income of 3-40,000 baht per month, including guest tips, drinking expenses, and would earn 1-2 hundred thousand baht per month. After that day, he would return to work in Bangkok. But there is still contact and conversation with such Chinese people all the time. At the end of December 2023, he decided to resign from his job before traveling alone to Mae Sot hoping to work. The Chinese person gave himself a ride to Mae Sot Bus Terminal, Tak Province, then had someone pick him up for another 3-mile journey by car befor
e taking the ferry. He did not know that the opposite side was an area of ??Myanmar.

When we arrived at the shop, we knew it was from Myanmar because we saw people’s clothes and people holding guns in various places. Later, we learned that it was on the side of Myawaddy City. Myanmar The Chinese boss is a woman who gives her PR work to entertain clients. But I’ve never met the young Chinese man who recommended it. There is no forced prostitution. During the first 10 days, he earned 30-40,000 baht. He saw that the income was good so he persuaded Ms. B. A close friend came to work with me on January 10, 2024, when Ms. B arrived. Chinese boss grades young women and forced himself and Ms. B to engage in prostitution, but he and Ms. B refused to do it, so they were sold to a second shop on January 13, 2024. The owner of the shop was a Chinese man and gave them to Ms. S.B signed a contract to owe a total of 260,000 baht and was forced into prostitution to repay the debt. Threatened to harm himself and Ms. B. They
were very afraid so they agreed to do it. But when I did it, I never received any money and the debt continued to decrease. Having suffered intolerably, he therefore asked for help to the Paweena Foundation. On the Facebook page on February 12, 2024

Ms. B said that she is a driver for a private company. I have been friends with Ms. A for 4-5 years. Ms. A said that she went to work as a PR and paid well. It was a time when he was wanting to change jobs because his income was not enough, so he decided to travel to work as well. A few days after arriving, she was forced into prostitution and sold along with Ms. A. The Chinese male boss forced him into prostitution because they owed a total of 260,000 baht. If he didn’t do it, he would be attacked. Therefore, you have to accept customers even if you don’t want to. He encountered a sadistic customer who attacked, hit, and was bruised all over his body and had to endure it. The store doesn’t help. If the customer is not satisfied, do not pay. The shop will come an
d scold you and make you owe more. And the Chinese boss said he would sell himself and Ms. A to another shop on February 11, 2024. So he claimed to the Chinese boss that his relatives were going to find money to redeem her on February 15. .67 to pass the time Before deciding to join Ms. A, she asked for help from the Paweena Foundation. On the Facebook page, Mrs. Paweena talked on the phone with herself and Ms. A. He therefore gave details and informed me of the coordinates of the address.

Mrs. Paweena said that after receiving the matter, she coordinated with security agencies in the Tak province. To provide help to Ms. A and Ms. B immediately. Helping is not easy and may not be able to help everyone. From now on, the two will be taken to report to the Police Crime Suppression Division for further investigation, as well as taking them to the police hospital for a physical examination in order to rehabilitate their bodies and minds.

In this regard, I would like to warn Thai women who want to work comfortabl
y with good income to be careful. Don’t trust anyone easily. Because comfortable work with good pay does not exist, don’t be fooled. Anyone thinking of crossing the border to work, whether it be on the opposite side, Tak Province, Chiang Rai Province, Chiang Mai Province, may be deceived and forced into prostitution. Imprisoned and forced to sign a loan In the end, he had to pay off his debt through prostitution. You can’t get hurt by money. It’s like going to hell. And because in Myanmar there is a situation of fighting occurring in the city, this makes it an obstacle for helping. And now it’s many times more difficult. Sometimes they may not be able to get help at all.

On February 16, 2024, after traveling to help 2 Thai girls, Mrs. Paweena Hongsakul, president of the Paweena Foundation, along with the group, traveled to meet and coordinate with the Naresuan Army. which is responsible for maintaining peace and order and protect sovereignty in the Thai-Myanmar border area, Tak Province and Mae Hong Son Prov
ince, to request acknowledgment of the situation in the border area and discuss prevention methods. and assistance Thai people who were tricked into working in entertainment venues On the border opposite Mae Sot District, Tak Province, with Col.
