Mae Sot

Mm-hmm.

And I think it's really interesting that, especially here in Mae Sot, so much of the food overlaps a bit, um, becomes this almost like Thai-Myanmar fusion, like, uh, khao soi and ohn no khao swe are very similar foods.

Right.

Very, very similar.

Officers subsequently raided a rented property in Sathon Saeng district, where they discovered seven young Myanmar nationals, including several minors, who were taken for protective screening.

Investigators believe the victims were transported across the border near Mae Sot before being made to sell flowers and drinks around areas including Khaosan Road, sometimes working until 3:00 AM for as little as 10 baht per bouquet sold.

The suspects face human trafficking and child exploitation charges while social workers and psychologists are assessing the victims and arranging appropriate protection.

And this is the scary part.

During the journey, I started feeling that something was off.

He was being driven up to the Thai border town of Mae Sot on Myanmar's eastern border.

Once he realised he was being trafficked, it was already too late.

They forced me onto a boat and we crossed a river.

So yeah, it was amazing.

So I flew to Bangkok and Bangkok to Mae Sot.

And then I got this truck that took me everywhere, up a mountain.

You know, it was hours from Mae Sot even.

So it's this little village, it's called Kopador, and it's in, I think it's like a 92,000 hectare forest.

There's like seven or eight of these little communities.

I only believe a few things, but I believe them pretty deeply.

Yeah, I was at the mall, as one has in Mae Sot, right, in a pretty bougie area of Thailand.

And I was ordering my Grab, which is basically Uber, because I had used it the whole time I was at this place and everything was working well.
