The support of Thai people who have been deceived into working in the past has shown the cooperation of agencies, such as the Royal Thai Police, the Ministry of Labour, the Ministry of Interior, the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security, and border patrol and agencies in related areas. They have worked together to help victims tricked into working in neighboring countries.
