Thailand's government has pledged to crack down on human trafficking
after the US criticised the Southeast Asian country for doing little to
address the problem. Many migrant workers, who mostly come from
neighbouring Myanmar, end up in Thai factories where they are forced to
work under appalling conditions and suffer from serious abuse. Some
of them are victims of debt bondage, meaning they are bought and sold
and forced to work to pay police fees and debts to the companies that
traffick them. Al Jazeera's Wayne Hay reports from Kanchanaburi in Thailand.
