Thai women have been warned against being lured into the sex trade in Switzerland following numerous cases of human trafficking.
The warning was issued yesterday by Senate committee on foreign affairs chairman Phikunkaeo Krairoek during talks between Thai and Swiss authorities and non-governmental groups which investigated 193 cases of sex victims, including Thai nationals, in 2011.
