It's pretty simple economics. Take away the product and you have no buyers.

Product - Price - Placement - Promotion

The law is too busy using humans like "meat" so they can make money.

The sex workers think they are smarter than the law, in that they figure they can thread the needle and make a few bahts on the side, and if they get caught, they'll be back out on the street soon and be that much smarter.

The foreign Johns are collateral damage to this industry. The real money is the Asian men. No arrests. No signs and banners with dark brown hands gripping jail cell bars. It's called human trafficking and Thailand is ranked in the top 5.

Why let yourself be "rescued" and learn to sew rugs in a sweat shop when you are born with the goods already to go?

I am not describing rape or forced submission. I am describing the rats that use their bodies to make a baht and literally think nothing of it, and in turn take advantage of the "rescuers" and get three hots and a cot for a week or two before they run away and go back out for the next round.

Can you please give more details on this?  How does this process of collecting additional taxes even work?  An "example" might be something like:

"A friend purchased some chanoted land, transfer all when through properly at the land department, 6 months later a guy from the land department called him and said he must return to the land department and pay XXXX baht additional taxes, because of land department miscalculation"?  What happens if you refuse to pay the additional taxes?

You said you had experience of titles being rescinded by the department, but could you please give specific example of how this occurred?  An "example" might be something like:

"My uncle bought a house, chanote was transferred, 2 weeks later the land department staff came to the house and said the seller had used a fake POA, and the chanote had been given back to the old owner"

With both assertions that:
1) Additional transfer fees/tax can be assessed after the transfer is completed.
2) That the land department can rescind a completed transfer at their will.

I'm not doubting you; but i'd be interested to hear the circumstances surrounding the cases that had this happen.  Please elaborate on why this occurred in the several cases that you are aware of.
