The US State Department's 2014 Trafficking In Persons (TIP) report is expected to be released sometime next week and officials for the Thai government said they've done enough to avoid being downgraded.
Thailand has worked closely with the State Department to satisfy all TIP office queries about on-going law enforcement action and statistics related to investigations, inspections, prosecutions and convictions in 2013, according to H.E. Mr. Vijavat Isarabhakdi, Ambassador of the Kingdom of Thailand to the United States of America.
With the recent revelation that slave labor is still present in shrimp feed operations, as reported by The Guardian, Thai officials say the country has done enough to correct that action and be upgraded in the upcoming TIP report.
