On Saturday Morning at the Jomtien Palm Beach Hotel, Khun Prachar, the Governor of Chonburi Province opened a one day seminar for Police Officers from Region 2 which covers 8 Provinces around the East of Thailand. The Seminar featured a guest speak from the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security and the International Crimes Department of the Royal Thai Police. The main issue discussed how the Police can prevent men and women from becoming a Prostitute. They may decide to work in this particular industry themselves or pressure from their families is put on them to work as Prostitutes to provide a good income for the family who may survive on a very low income. The officers were told to help men and women involved in Prostitution and send them to rehabilitation centers rather than arresting them and later releasing them to carry on selling themselves for money and to utilize the Law to force them to enter rehabilitation programs.
