Thai police rescued 47 girls from Laos when they raided two karaoke bars in a province near BangKok Wednesday night. The girls had been locked up in the back rooms and forced to provide sex services to bar patrons. Eight of the girls are under the age of 18.
Thai authorities arrested the owners of the bars along with their partners. They said the bars were part of a human trafficking ring that sends women and girls from Laos to Burma and Cambodia.
Meanwhile, Thai experts say the problem of human trafficking in the Greater Mekong Sub-region has gotten worse with more and more women and children being trafficked and forced to work as prostitutes and beggars.
But you can get HIV also!! The top ten country that has a lot of Prostitutions and HIV in Asia is Thailand becarefull!!
Some prostitutes in Thailand are from Laos. They are Laotians.
Including of Isaan people too? hahaha because 60% of prostitute both men and wemen in Thailand are from Isaan and 35% from Lao Lanna
Some prostitutes in Thailand are from Laos. They are Laotians. >>>>> I mean the Laotians from Laos PDR working in Thailand as a prostitute.
In Thailand, we call Thai people from the North Eastern region as Thai Isarn. We don't call them Lao Isarn. Moreover, there is no Lao Lanna. There is only Thai Lanna in Thailand.
Stop day dreaming !!!!! Laotians.
Actually, Most Thai Lanna and Thai Isarn call themselves Thais, not Laotians.

The main reason why Bangkok are so crowded is because of too much Bang****...LOL..
Thailand: More Prostitutes, More Pollution, More Chaos
>>>>>>>> BUT MORE MONEY, BETTER EDUCATION, BETTER HEALTHCARE SERVICES, MORE FREEDOM , MORE OPPORTUNITY and BETTER STANDARD OF LIVING
>>>>>>>> A lot of Laotians come to Thailand for Education, Healthcares and Jobs
I agree with you so please stop show off ,we know that .
So we know that Laos is about at least 70 years behind Thailand So please stop show off OK Thai boy. We know you are rich.
Laotians,
you should stop insulting my Thailand as well. I did that to the Laotians that dissed my beloved Thailand. That's it.
Actually, Thailand is not a rich country. We are just a middle-income country, and not that a poor country.
That is not truth that not all Laotian have done all the insult to Thailand some Laotian still have relatives and families in Esan both side of the Mekong river and we know that a lot of products in Laos are made in Thailand such as food , medicine , vaccine so without the help of Thailand to the sea and merchandises which go through Thailand and tourists Laos will have more problems . Laos wouls like to be good neighbor with Thailand and Vietnam and Cambodia or any other countries in the world.The people who are insulting Thailand might be some body else or stupid kids who are living in the past that Siam invaded Laos that was the past so .. It could be Cambodian or Vietnamese who don't want Laotian to be close to Thailand.
