Don't get me wrong: I love Thailand, but what the fuck is wrong with some of their people that they engage in human slavery in this day and age?

Not exactly anything new there. Since they arrived in the region they've been invading their neighbors and carrying off the populace as slaves. It still goes on to this day, Burmese and Cambodians are trafficked, abused and murdered by them. A lot of fuss is made about sex-slaves in the region, which is fair enough, but the trafficking and abuse/slavery/murder of migrant workers from neighboring countries is ignored. I don't love Thailand in any way.
Romantic Cambodia is dead and gone. It's with McKinley in the grave.

Me neither, but I recall the case of a married Khmer couple, both teachers, years ago, who tortured a young girl who worked as a servant for them, using pliers on her skin. I think I would have happily tortured them if I could have.Lucky Lucan wrote:Not exactly anything new there.

It's not on the same scale, but lives of the poor are cheap.
It's not just Thailand, it's quite common in several SE Asian countries. I doubt if the tables were turned that Khmers would treat manual-labourer Thais with respect.

Torture and abuse of indonesian and filipino domestic helpers by locals is a regular occurrence in Hong Kong and Singapore, and always by Chinese employers.
