In Thailand, an estimated 401,000 people are living in conditions of modern slavery, with a prevalence of 5.7 per thousand people as of 2021.

Thailand, a key hub in Southeast Asia, faces significant challenges as a source, transit, and destination country for human trafficking. Despite its economic growth, approximately 610,000 people are living in modern slavery, driven by factors such as poverty, limited education, and lack of job opportunities. Human trafficking, particularly sex trafficking and forced labor, thrives due to the complexity of global supply chains and economic disruptions like the COVID-19 pandemic, which have heightened vulnerability among the population. Addressing these root causes is essential for combating trafficking in Thailand.
