Operandi Human Tafficking Indonesia, Thailand as a Transit Country

Human trafficking remains a significant issue in Southeast Asia, with Indonesia as a primary source country and Thailand as a major transit hub. Despite existing regulations, weak law enforcement, involvement of authorities, and lax immigration policies continue to enable trafficking syndicates to operate. This study analyzes the factors contributing to Thailand's role as a transit hub, the trafficking routes, and the operational methods used by these syndicates. The findings indicate that improving cross-border cooperation, strengthening border surveillance, and reforming immigration and legal policies are essential steps to combat human trafficking effectively. Furthermore, the study emphasizes the need for collaborative efforts between Southeast Asian countries to close legal loopholes and improve victim protection mechanisms.
