"TIP Report"

The Thai government is confident it has done enough to be shifted from Tier 2 Watchlist to Tier 2 in the ranking on the US State Department’s Trafficking in Persons (TIP) report.

Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwan expressed confidence on Wednesday that Thailand’s ranking in the US State Department's Trafficking in Persons (TIP) Report this year would improve to Tier 2.

Acknowledging that Thailand’s status for human-trafficking has remained at Tier 2 for two years running, Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha vowed on Tuesday to implement measures that will help improve the Kingdom’s ranking next year.

Thailand’s status in the latest US Trafficking in Person(TIP) report has been upgraded to Tier 2 for its efforts to combat modern slavery.

The Trafficking in Persons (TIP) Report heroine Weerawan Mosby has warned that trafficking in children is still rife and more must be done to end these crimes.

The European Union’s evaluation of illegal fishing in Thailand could be influenced by the Kingdom remaining in the US Tier 2 Watch List of the 2017 Trafficking in Persons report for another year, Agriculture Minister Chatchai Sarikalya said.

Wirawan “Boom” Mosby, founder and director of the Hug Project in Chiang Mai province, has been honoured as a “Trafficking in Person Hero” by the US State Department for her work against human trafficking.

The Foreign Ministry on Tuesday slammed the US Trafficking in Persons (TIP) Report for not “doing justice” by keeping Thailand in the Tier 2 Watch List for another year.

Thailand continued to be in the Tier 2 Watch List in the 2017 Trafficking in Persons report, as the Thai government had not fully meet the minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking, the US State Department said.
