CHIANG MAI: A hug, a hand on her knee, a kiss on the cheek: teenage waitress Pim would not let the customers go any further at a karaoke bar in northern Thailand, where she was found in a police raid.The 16-year-old was one of four teenage bar staff found earlier this month in an anti-trafficking operation in Chiang Mai, a tourist hotspot with a well-established sex trade.
The four girls, all under the age of 18, told social workers that they were neither forced to have sex with customers nor ordered to wear miniskirts and low-cut tops.
