The purpose of the operation was to suppress illicit behavior, including possession of drugs, working without a permit and human trafficking.

Police say the massive effort uncovered five illegal migrant workers, all female, from three venues, as follows:

– at the Violin Massage parlor: 1 Lao, 2 Hill Tribe girls from the north of Thailand (non-Thai)

– at the Angel Massage parlor: 1 Cambodian

– at the Euro Massage parlor: 1 Hill Tribe woman

All were taken to a police station for questioning.

“The personnel in every shop were urine-tested for drugs, with none found. Everyone was clean and no prostitution was found either,” Capt Bhavorn told the Phuket Gazette.

A happy ending indeed.
