The United States government has recommended Thailand simplify processes for migrants wanting to work legally in the fishery industry to increase the country's chance of upgrading its status to Tier 1 in the US Trafficking in Persons (TIP) Report.
The recommendation was one of the issues covered when deputy national police chief Pol Gen Surachate Hakparn and Chettaphan Maksamphan, director-general of the Department of American and Pacific Affairs, met with US State Department officials in Washington, DC, on Feb 27.
