    ABSTRACTThailand had been on the U.S. TIP Report’s Tier 2 Watch List for four years in a row since 2010 and was downgraded to Tier 3 in June 2014. Thailand was downgraded to Tier 3 because it was deemed to not be making significant efforts to comply with the minimum standards required by the TVPA. Tier 3 countries are subject to economic sanctions, though the President can waive sanctions if U.S. assistance would help the country combat trafficking.This paper highlights the strengths and areas of needed improvement for the Thai government in its response to the overwhelming problem of human trafficking. Specifically, this paper first offers suggestions for anti-trafficking organizational bodies: the Department of Special Investigations’ Anti-Human Trafficking Center, the Royal Thai Police, the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security’s Bureau of Anti-Trafficking in Women and Children, and Non-Government Organizations. The paper then reviews the current anti-trafficking legislation and policies and offers suggested revisions. The paper concludes with two case spotlights of a successful response by the Thai government to sex trafficking victims and to labor trafficking victims. If the Thai government implements some of these suggestions, it will put Thailand in the best position possible to be upgraded to Tier 2 in the next TIP Report.āļšāļ—āļ„āļąāļ”āļĒāđˆāļ­āļ›āļĢāļ°āđ€āļ—āļĻāđ„āļ—āļĒāđ„āļ”āđ‰āļ›āļĢāļēāļāļŽāļ­āļĒāļđāđˆāđƒāļ™āļĢāļēāļĒāļāļēāļĢāđ€āļāđ‰āļēāļĄāļ­āļ‡ (Watch List) āļ‚āļ­āļ‡āļĢāļēāļĒāļ‡āļēāļ™āļ‚āļ­āļ‡āļĢāļąāļāļšāļēāļĨāļŠāļŦāļĢāļąāļ āļ„āļ·āļ­ U.S. TIP Reports āđ‚āļ”āļĒāļ•āļāļ­āļĒāļđāđˆāđƒāļ™āļˆāļēāļžāļ§āļāļ›āļĢāļ°āđ€āļ—āļĻāļŠāļąāđ‰āļ™āļŠāļ­āļ‡ (Tier 2) āļĄāļēāđ€āļ›āđ‡āļ™āđ€āļ§āļĨāļē 4 āļ›āļĩ āđ‚āļ”āļĒāļ•āļĨāļ­āļ”āļ™āļąāļšāđāļ•āđˆ āļ„.āļĻ. 2010 āđāļĨāļ°āļ–āļđāļāļĨāļ”āļĨāļ‡āđ„āļ›āđ€āļ›āđ‡āļ™āļ›āļĢāļ°āđ€āļ—āļĻāļŠāļąāđ‰āļ™āļŠāļēāļĄ (Tier 3) āđƒāļ™āđ€āļ”āļ·āļ­āļ™āļĄāļīāļ–āļļāļ™āļēāļĒāļ™ āļ„.āļĻ. 2014 āļ›āļĢāļ°āđ€āļ—āļĻāļ—āļĩāđˆāļ–āļđāļāļĨāļ”āļŠāļąāđ‰āļ™āļĨāļ‡āđ€āļ›āđ‡āļ™āļ›āļĢāļ°āđ€āļ—āļĻāļŠāļąāđ‰āļ™āļŠāļēāļĄ āđ‚āļ”āļĒāļ–āļ·āļ­āļ§āđˆāļēāđ„āļĄāđˆāđ„āļ”āđ‰āđƒāļŠāđ‰āļ„āļ§āļēāļĄāļžāļĒāļēāļĒāļēāļĄāļĄāļēāļāđ€āļžāļĩāļĒāļ‡āļžāļ­āļ—āļĩāđˆāļˆāļ°āļ—āļēāļ•āļēāļĄāļĄāļēāļ•āļĢāļāļēāļ™āļ‚āļąāđ‰āļ™āļ•āđˆāļēāļ—āļĩāđˆ TVPA āļāļēāļŦāļ™āļ” āđāļĨāļ°āļˆāļ°āļ•āđ‰āļ­āļ‡āļ–āļđāļāļĨāļ‡āđ‚āļ—āļĐāļ—āļēāļ‡āđ€āļĻāļĢāļĐāļāļāļīāļˆ āđāļĄāđ‰āļ§āđˆāļēāļ›āļĢāļ°āļ˜āļēāļ™āļēāļ˜āļīāļšāļ”āļĩāļŠāļŦāļĢāļąāļāļ­āđ€āļĄāļĢāļīāļāļē āļ­āļēāļˆāļ‡āļ”āđ€āļ§āđ‰āļ™āļāļēāļĢāļĨāļ‡āđ‚āļ—āļĐāļ—āļēāļ‡āđ€āļĻāļĢāļĐāļāļāļīāļˆ āļŦāļēāļāļāļēāļĢāļŠāđˆāļ§āļĒāđ€āļŦāļĨāļ·āļ­āļ‚āļ­āļ‡āļŠāļŦāļĢāļąāļāļ­āđ€āļĄāļĢāļīāļāļēāļˆāļ°āļŠāđˆāļ§āļĒāđƒāļŦāđ‰āļ›āļĢāļ°āđ€āļ—āļĻāļ™āļąāđ‰āļ™āđ† āļŠāļēāļĄāļēāļĢāļ–āļ•āđˆāļ­āļŠāļđāđ‰āļāļąāļšāļāļēāļĢāļ„āđ‰āļēāļĄāļ™āļļāļĐāļĒāđŒāđ„āļ”āđ‰āļāđ‡āļ•āļēāļĄāļšāļ—āļ„āļ§āļēāļĄāļ™āļĩāđ‰āđ€āļ™āđ‰āļ™āđ€āļĢāļ·āđˆāļ­āļ‡āļ„āļ§āļēāļĄāđ€āļ‚āđ‰āļĄāđāļ‚āđ‡āļ‡āđāļĨāļ°āđ€āļĢāļ·āđˆāļ­āļ‡āļāļēāļĢāļ—āļĩāđˆāļˆāļēāļ•āđ‰āļ­āļ‡āđ„āļ”āđ‰āļĢāļąāļšāļāļēāļĢāļ›āļĢāļąāļšāļ›āļĢāļļāļ‡āđ‚āļ”āļĒāļĢāļąāļāļšāļēāļĨāđ„āļ—āļĒ āđ€āļžāļ·āđˆāļ­āđāļāđ‰āđ„āļ‚āļ›āļąāļāļŦāļēāđƒāļ™āđ€āļĢāļ·āđˆāļ­āļ‡āļāļēāļĢāļ„āđ‰āļēāļĄāļ™āļļāļĐāļĒāđŒ āđ‚āļ”āļĒāđ€āļ‰āļžāļēāļ°āļ­āļĒāđˆāļēāļ‡āļĒāļīāđˆāļ‡āļšāļ—āļ„āļ§āļēāļĄāļ™āļĩāđ‰āđ„āļ”āđ‰āđƒāļŦāđ‰āļ‚āđ‰āļ­āđ€āļŠāļ™āļ­āđāļ™āļ°āđ€āļžāļ·āđˆāļ­āđƒāļŦāđ‰āļ­āļ‡āļ„āđŒāļāļĢāļ—āļĩāđˆāļ•āđ‰āļēāļ™āļāļēāļĢāļ„āđ‰āļēāļĄāļ™āļļāļĐāļĒāđŒ āļ„āļ·āļ­ āļāļĢāļĄāļŠāļ­āļšāļŠāļ§āļ™āļ„āļ”āļĩāļžāļīāđ€āļĻāļĐ āļĻāļđāļ™āļĒāđŒāļ•āđˆāļ­āļ•āđ‰āļēāļ™āļāļēāļĢāļ„āđ‰āļēāļĄāļ™āļļāļĐāļĒāđŒ āļāļ­āļ‡āļšāļąāļāļŠāļēāļāļēāļĢāļ•āļēāļĢāļ§āļˆāđ„āļ—āļĒ āļāļĢāļ°āļ—āļĢāļ§āļ‡āļžāļąāļ’āļ™āļēāļāļēāļĢāļŠāļąāļ‡āļ„āļĄāđāļĨāļ°āļ„āļ§āļēāļĄāļĄāļąāđˆāļ™āļ„āļ‡āļ‚āļ­āļ‡āļĄāļ™āļļāļĐāļĒāđŒ āđƒāļ™āļŠāđˆāļ§āļ™āļŠāļēāļ™āļąāļāļ‡āļēāļ™āļ•āđˆāļ­āļ•āđ‰āļēāļ™āļāļēāļĢāļ„āđ‰āļēāļŠāļ•āļĢāļĩāđāļĨāļ°āđ€āļ”āđ‡āļ āļ•āļĨāļ­āļ”āļˆāļ™āļŦāļ™āđˆāļ§āļĒāļ‡āļēāļ™āļ­āļ‡āļ„āđŒāļāļēāļĢāļžāļąāļ’āļ™āļēāđ€āļ­āļāļŠāļ™āļ­āļ·āđˆāļ™āđ† āļšāļ—āļ„āļ§āļēāļĄāļ™āļĩāđ‰āđƒāļ™āļĨāļēāļ”āļąāļšāļ–āļąāļ”āđ„āļ›āđ„āļ”āđ‰āļžāļīāļˆāļēāļĢāļ“āļēāļāļŽāļŦāļĄāļēāļĒāļ•āđ‰āļēāļ™āļāļēāļĢāļ„āđ‰āļēāļĄāļ™āļļāļĐāļĒāđŒāđƒāļ™āļ›āļąāļˆāļˆāļļāļšāļąāļ™ āļ•āļĨāļ­āļ”āļˆāļ™āļ™āđ‚āļĒāļšāļēāļĒāļ•āđˆāļēāļ‡āđ† āđāļĨāļ°āđ„āļ”āđ‰āđ€āļŠāļ™āļ­āļ‚āđ‰āļ­āļ—āļĩāđˆāļ„āļ§āļĢāđ„āļ”āđ‰āļĢāļąāļšāļāļēāļĢāļ›āļĢāļąāļšāļ›āļĢāļļāļ‡ āļšāļ—āļ„āļ§āļēāļĄāļ™āļĩāđ‰āļŠāļĢāļļāļ›āđ‚āļ”āļĒāļāļĨāđˆāļēāļ§āļ–āļķāļ‡āļ„āļ”āļĩāļ—āļĩāđˆāđ€āļ›āđ‡āļ™āļ—āļĩāđˆāļŠāļ™āđƒāļˆāļŠāļ­āļ‡āļ„āļ”āļĩ āļ‹āļķāđˆāļ‡āđ€āļ›āđ‡āļ™āđ€āļĢāļ·āđˆāļ­āļ‡āļ‚āļ­āļ‡āļāļēāļĢāļŠāļ™āļ­āļ‡āđ‚āļ”āļĒāļĢāļąāļāļšāļēāļĨāļ‚āļ­āļ‡āđ„āļ—āļĒāļ•āđˆāļ­āđ€āļŦāļĒāļ·āđˆāļ­āļ‚āļ­āļ‡āļāļēāļĢāļ„āđ‰āļēāļĄāļ™āļļāļĐāļĒāđŒ āđ€āļžāļ·āđˆāļ­āļšāļĢāļīāļāļēāļĢāļ—āļēāļ‡āđ€āļžāļĻāđāļĨāļ°āđ€āļŦāļĒāļ·āđˆāļ­āļ‚āļ­āļ‡āļāļēāļĢāļ„āđ‰āļēāļĄāļ™āļļāļĐāļĒāđŒāđƒāļ™āļ”āđ‰āļēāļ™āđāļĢāļ‡āļ‡āļēāļ™āļ§āđˆāļē āļ–āđ‰āļēāļĢāļąāļāļšāļēāļĨāđ„āļ—āļĒāļ—āļēāđƒāļ™āđ€āļĢāļ·āđˆāļ­āļ‡āļ—āļĩāđˆāđ€āļŠāļ™āļ­āļĄāļēāļ™āļĩāđ‰āđ€āļŠāļĩāļĒāļšāļēāļ‡āđ€āļĢāļ·āđˆāļ­āļ‡āļāđ‡āļˆāļ°āļ—āļēāđƒāļŦāđ‰āļ›āļĢāļ°āđ€āļ—āļĻāļ­āļĒāļđāđˆāđƒāļ™āļ āļēāļ§āļ°āļ—āļĩāđˆāļ”āļĩāļ—āļĩāđˆāļŠāļļāļ”āļ—āļĩāđˆāļˆāļ°āđ„āļ”āđ‰āļĢāļąāļšāļāļēāļĢāđ€āļĨāļ·āđˆāļ­āļ™āļŠāļąāđ‰āļ™āļ‚āļķāđ‰āļ™āđ€āļ›āđ‡āļ™āļ›āļĢāļ°āđ€āļ—āļĻāļŠāļąāđ‰āļ™āļŠāļ­āļ‡āđƒāļ™āļĢāļēāļĒāļ‡āļēāļ™ TIP āļ‰āļšāļąāļšāļŦāļ™āđ‰
