- Hanh Chin, webmaster
The intents and purposes of this website are to express long-overdue criticism of journalists who publicize
public and private individuals and organizations that falsely claim to be working for the protection of children.
Advertisements that are misleading and inappropriate to the serious nature of the subject matter might appear above this
website from time to time. If so, that is probably the fault of an automatic scanner that has misread the site's content.
ADVICE to
Lycos/Tripod:
It has been brought to our attention that Lycos/Tripod recently blocked a website that exposed numerous
pedophiles, pimps, procurers and traffickers in women and children, including officials of private and government organizations,
who are also named here and were complicit in the trafficking of a child that was subject of the blocked website.
According to Lycos/Tripod, it blocked the website referred to above because someone feared
that the exposure tarnished the image of an organization.
This is not an appropriate excuse for blocking a site, especially since the information posted
is accurate and has already been reported at length in the media.
If in the future Lycos/Tripod receives a request to block this site, we ask that Lycos/Tripod refer
the complaint to us beforehand, pointing out specifically who objects to the website and exactly what statements in the website
are objected to.

CPCR is a monster
The following is a comment from Pomchai Krua-tho in Bangkok,
August 3, 2005:
I refer to an article in the Home section of the Bangkok Post on August 2, 2005, with the heading "Child protection enforcement
'weak'."
The author of the article, Anjira Assavononda, was assigned to report on "a forum on media and child rights violations"
that was arranged by an organization in Bangkok, the Center for the Protection of Children's Rights (also known by its acronym,
CPCR).
According to the article, at the forum the head of the public dissemination team of the child, youth and family projects
for the National Health Foundation, Thininob Komolmimi, complained that implementation of the Child Protection Act that went
into effect in Thailand last year was lagging.
The Child Protection Act requires each province in Thailand to set up a provincial child protection committee that is
to supervise child protection in the province; the committees are to be chaired by the provincial governor and composed of
government officials from relevant agencies.
Ms. Thininob complained that some provincial governors and local government administrative offices ignored the requirement
and that some of the child protection committees had never met.
Ms. Thininob asked the press to urge enforcement of the each article of the Child Protection Act.
Ms. Thininob complained also that too often the press exploited abused children by sensationalizing child abuse cases.
The reporter, Ms. Anjira, also quoted and cited comments by the director of CPCR, Sanphasit Koomphrapant, about the media
and child protection.
While the comments by Ms. Thininob might have been valid, CPCR is not the proper venue for a forum about child protection.
The article looked like another excuse to publicize CPCR and Sanphasit, both long considered dead and wholly irrelevant to
child protection and children's rights by sincere child rights advocates, especially in Bangkok.
For more than 15 years, people sincerely concerned with child protection in Bangkok (there are only a few) and the world
over have complained that Sanphasit and the persons he employed at CPCR did no more than talk about themselves and the work
that they were supposed to do but never actually carried out. One example of this intransigence and ineffectualness was an
organization, called Child Rights Asia Net, that Sanphasit created with a local lawyer, Vitit Muntharbhorn, in the early 1990s;
the organization was highly touted but did absolutely nothing. Vitit ignored every complaint sent to him and Sanphasit’s
employees dumped every case referred to them.
In fact, CPCR, like many corrupt child protection agencies, serves as a front for pedophiles and traffickers in children.
Almost all complaints referred to CPCR over the past 15 years have been ignored. In many cases, CPCR staff conspired with
pedophiles and traffickers who were the objects of the complaints. CPCR personnel have circulated countless reports, defending
pedophiles and traffickers in children, which can be used as evidence against them.
Every single case that CPCR ever considered should be investigated. The children concerned, if still alive, should be
found and questioned. Previous and current CPCR personnel should be tracked down, rounded up, prosecuted and sent to prison.
Further, the journalists and editors who have conspired with CPCR in pedophile and child trafficking cases should also
be prosecuted.
Complaints about the negligence of provincial governors and welfare offices, many of whom are complicit in the traffic
in women and children, made from fronts long notorious for serving the purposes of such deviants seldom accomplish anything.

CPCR a front for pedophile rings and traffickers in children
Amazing Thailand! - these guys and molls have been operating
openly for two decades
Comment by Rudolph Ignacio of Bangkok, August 14, 2005:
I read the
letter of Pomchai Kua-tho in the Bangkok Post on August 12. I wrote a letter to the Bangkok Post in response to Mr. Pomchai's
comments, which I would like to share with visitors to this website.
The letter is as follows:
I would like to congratulate the editors for finally showing the spine to print comments critical of
the Center for the Protection of Children's Rights (CPCR) in Bangkok and its director, Sanphasit Koompraphant. Such criticism
is long overdue. Hopefully, the editors will not use the letter as an excuse to laud false praise upon an unworthy organization
in an attempt to defend it.
Since its appearance about two decades ago, CPCR has led a long charade of despicable
phonies who pretend to be concerned about the safety and welfare of children. The truth is that CPCR deliberately ignored
many urgent cases and tried to cover up with false excuses and false reports. CPCR personnel conspired with government officials,
especially the police, in the defense of pedophiles and in the traffic in women and children.
When the press
publicized CPCR, it actually committed more harm than good. More criticism of CPCR and other non-governmental organizations
(NGOs) that serve as fronts for pedophiles and procurers is required. The press should continue to publish comments like Mr.
Pomchai's.

CPCR foreign volunteers and the traffic in children
October 31, 2013
I worked as a journalist in the mid-1990s.
In 1995, I was assigned to a story about UNESCO.
The public often confuses UNESCO for UNICEF. That is probably because there are a lot of people at UNESCO
who do absolutely nothing. But they are two very different organizations. UNESCO might have a bit of prestige. UNICEF
has none.
While researching my story I discovered that UNESCO had an office that was concerned with the traffic
in women and children. It had a list of various organizations in various countries that claimed to be concerned about children.
There was a single entry for Thailand.
UNESCO staff said CPCR was the only organization in Thailand in its files and that it had been listed
for some time. No one knew anything about it or how it came to be listed or why it was the only one.
So I did some checking. I called the CPCR office in Bangkok. Thais answered. No one spoke English.
Those who did were afraid to talk to me. After repeated calls, the Thais handed the phone to a woman by the name of Jasmin
and a man by the name of Frank. They said they were foreign volunteers. Frank said he was from Switzerland.
But then the line was cut.
When I called back a Thai who spoke English told me Frank and Jasmin were busy trying
to arrange
an international adoption of an infant Thai child by a Belgian couple and could not come to the
phone. I was told this several times.
Checking further, I discovered that only a few organizations in Thailand were legally authorized to handle
international adoptions. CPCR was not one of them. At the time, there were very few international adoptions of Thai
children. (I have read in the Thai press since, probably in 2008, that as many as 10,000 Thai children were adopted in
the previous year and sent abroad. But this figure is not official. Its appearance in the press should be investigated.)
When I got to Thailand later in 1995, Frank and Jasmin had disappeared. No one at CPCR knew anything about
them. It all sounded very fishy.
People at CPCR referred me to a local Australian ex-policeman who was working with local child
protection groups but I could never reach him.
There was a Thai cop who was much publicized in the press as heading an office concerned with the protection
of children but he turned out to be a joke. Lazy. An obvious crook. And he disliked westerners on sight.
Most Thai policemen I spoke to had never heard of CPCR. Those who had thought it was set up as
a child trafficking front.

Embezzling government funds in the name of child protection to finance political campaign
What Happened to Baht 100 Million Taken from Public Revenue
by Jakrapob Penkair?
A Comment by Samakh Siphonphat of Bangkok, August 8 and December 30, 2005:
There has been absolutely no follow-up by Thailand's media of a government proposal
last May for a government lottery from which proceeds would go to assist victims of traffickers in women and children.
On May 13, 2005, The Nation reported that the Thai foreign ministry
had announced that a projected 18-month campaign by a deputy prime minister, Surakiart Sathirathai, for the post of United
Nations secretary general that will be vacant at the end of next year, would cost Thai taxpayers at least Baht 100 million
($2.5 million). The point was that Surakiart's bid for the top UN post was generally considered a lost cause and a waste
of money.
Shortly afterward, an official of the prime minister's office, Jakrapob Penkair,
protested in the Bangkok
Post that the figure of Baht 100 million was "outrageous".
Two weeks later, on May 26, 2005, the same official, Jakrapob announced that
the government was seeking the same amount, Baht 100 million, to start a lottery to raise funds for the victims of traffickers
in women and children. The project was to be supervised by a human trafficking prevention and suppression committee chaired
by Surakiart.
What happened to the lottery proposal?
What happened to the human trafficking prevention and suppression committee?
How is Surakiart financing his trips about the world to solicit support for his
bid for the top UN post?
It appears that the Baht 100 million earmarked for a
government lottery start-up -
and the lottery proceeds -
are to be used to finance Surakiart's trips about the world to solicit support for his doomed bid for the top UN post.
No doubt, some of the money will be dispersed through
bribes to UN officials to ignore cases of human rights violations by Thai officials.
At this moment, Surakiart is overseas lobbying foreign
leaders for their support of his campaign for the top UN post.
During the recent annual meeting of Association of Southeast
Asian Nations (ASEAN) in Laos, which the American secretary of state refused to attend because ASEAN has been dragging its
feet in joining universal condemnation of the hated Burmese military dictatorship, Surakiart suddenly flew to Burma to offer
the Thai government’s backing of the junta in exchange for the latter’s support of his bid for the top UN post.
This is hardly the sort of behavior appropriate for a
UN secretary general.
Surakiart claimed that he was going to Burma
to discuss trafficking in humans with the Burmese junta leader, General Than Shwe. In his meeting with Surakiart, Than Shwe
reportedly expressed concern about the large number of Burmese women trafficked to Thailand for prostitution.
Nobody at the Bangkok Post or The Nation
seems interested in my remarks.

Comment by F. L. Hatton, Bangkok, January 4,
2006
The US secretary of state refused to attend the 2004 ASEAN meeting in Laos in protest against ASEAN's refusal to
condem the oppresive junta in Burma.
All well and good.
But less than 12 months later that same secratary of state attended without the least reservation the 2005 ASEAN
meeting in Malaysia.
There was absolutely no reason for the secretary of state to go to Kuala Lampur. Nothing at all had changed in Burma.
The US secretary of state was bribed by the Burmese junta to come to Kuala Lampur.

British Journo, George McLeod, whoring for a Thaksin lackey, Jakrapob Penkair, a suspected
pedophile
A comment from Lawson Merriman, New York City, May 10, 2009
The British journalist, George McLeod, was for some
time in the good graces of the leaders of the Karen National Union (KNU) and wrote numerous articles about the Karen insurgency
in Burma for the Bangkok Post.
But in the past year or so McLeod
has become a suspicious character hanging around the Burma-Thailand border.
McLeod was paid by the Thaksin lackey,
Jakrapob Penkair, to write glowing articles about him (Jakrapob) for the Bangkok Post and to tout Jakrapob’s
opinions.
Here is a guy who publicizes a creep
who embezzles government money by pretending it is to protect kids.

McLeod was paid by Thaksin
A comment from Harmon Travis, Bangkok, June 2, 2009
The British journalist George McLeod was in the pay of Thaksin
since his arrival in Thailand.
What was McLeod doing on the Burmese border,
visiting Karen insurgents? The Karen do not like Thaksin. Did KNU leaders know that McLeod was a Thaksin agent and publicist? It
is doubtful that they did.

A comment from Joe Amos, Bangkok, January 24,
2013
Jakrapob
Penkair, the Thaksin crony, has been charged with lese majeste in Thailand. He wrote articles that the Thai criminal
courts ruled insulting to the monarchy. Jakrapob, however, is hiding in Cambodia.
But the Thai courts got his publisher, another Thaksin crony, and gave him ten years.
What is odd in all this is that the NGOs are screaming unfair. They should be asking for details
of Surakiart's embezzlement of government funds in the name of anti-trafficking..

Government of the embezzlers,
by the embezzlers and for the embezzlers
Email message from Santi Vattana, Korat,
June 8, 2014
If you're following developments in Thailand, you know there was a coup d'etat there on
May 22. Thaksin Shinawatra's younger sister, Yingluck, was ousted from government by the army.
You will know too that Jakrapob Penkair, who has been in hiding for some time, popped up in
Phnom Penh. (I thought he was hiding in Bangkok in the Goethe Institute or the home of Surakiart Sathirathai.) He declared he was forming a government-in-exile in Cambodia.
But the Cambodian supremo, Hun Sen, said that would not be allowed.
I am not sure if the Thai junta has requested Jakrapob's
extradition to Thailand.

Comment by John Wesley Hardin, Kanchanaburi,
August 28, 2005:
The attorney general of Thailand should be a member
of the prime minister’s cabinet.
A new attorney general, to replace the present attorney general, Kampree
Koacherern, who retires next month, was selected by a 15-member State Attorney Commission (SAC), which included government
officials from outside the attorney general's office, on August 23.
The commission selected Patchara Yutidhammarong,
a deputy attorney general, from four deputy attorney generals. Beginning with the most senior deputy, the commission accepted
the first one to receive a majority yes or no vote.
Two members of the selection commission, Prapan Naiwakowit
and Chaikasem Nitisiri, were also deputy attorney generals and vying for the top job. They abstained from the voting. Only
11 members of the commission voted.
Prapan, who was expected to get the post, and Chaikasem ranked ahead of
Patchara in seniority but were rejected by the commission. The commission did not bother to consider the fourth candidate
after choosing Patchara.
This method of selecting the country's prosecuting attorney might do for a small group
of attorneys and closely interested parties, but it is not appropriate in today's Thailand.
The attorney general’s
office operates even more independently than the judiciary.
Too many lawyers without a proper basic education
or an understanding of the fundamental facts of life have languished in the attorney general's office for years. They have
outdated and unsuitable views about the world and the judicial process. They use the attorney general's office to protect
criminal ventures, particularly those conducted by government officials, and victimize innocent people. This applies especially
to the evil yellow slave trade - the procurement of Thai women and children for illicit labor and
prostitution abroad. Prapan Naiwakowit is one such lawyer and bureaucrat. Opart Vorapart, Trakul Winnitnaiwappak and Wanchai
Rootanawong are three others, to name a few. They depend on cronies in the government and traffickers (or their agents, posing
as non-governmental organizations and journalists), for their jobs and reputations.
Attorney generals
have grown rich through corruption and have locked onto numerous high government posts that they kept well beyond their retirement.
The attorney general's office is the most corrupt government office in the country.
The post of attorney general
requires knowledge and experience that most career government bureaucrats and lawyers in Thailand lack.
A political
appointee, whatever his shortcomings, should be better suited for the position of attorney general than a career bureaucrat
of late middle age who knows or cares little about the world beyond his office desk and serves only the interests of old cronies
and corrupt government officials.
Therefore, the post of attorney general should be made a cabinet post. The
attorney general should be appointed by the prime minister. The appointment should be subject to the approval of two-thirds
of one or both houses of the legislature. This would allow for some much-needed transparency in the judicial system
- and closer public scrutiny.
John Wesley Hardin, Kanchanaburi

Comment by Suthin Jiratiwath, September 10, 2005
Dear Sir:
I read a comment on this website by John Hardin, who recommended that the Attorney General of Thailand should
be a member of the Prime Minister's cabinet.
Some would like the Attorney General to replace the Minister of Justice, a cabinet member, as head of
the Ministry of Justice. The Ministry of Justice would function like the Justice Department in the United States, under the
Attorney General.
In Thailand, the Attorney General's office is a branch of the Ministry of Justice, under the Minister of Justice.
In actual practice, however, the Attorney General's office in Thailand operates independently of the Ministry of Justice,
which has little real power to compell the Attorney General to do anything. In a showdown between the Minister of Justice
and Attorney General, the Attorney General holds sway. I recall a confrontation several years ago between Kanit
na Nakon, the Attorney General, and Chalerm Yoobamrung, Minister of Justice. The Attorney General had his way and made
the Minister of Justice look meek and irrelevant.
Mr. Hardin's recommendation, therefore, makes sense: the post of Minister of Justice should be terminated and the Attorney
General should head the Ministry of Justice.

Dear Mr. Hahn,
Regarding the mail that was hacked from this website earliert his year, I recall that there was one letter that complained
that several reporters and editors at the Bangkok Post opposed exposing Thai government officials and so-called non-governmental
organizations ("NGOs") who were complicit in the pedophile rings and the traffic in children. The Post employees named were:
Songpol Kaopatumtip, editor of Perspective, the features section of the Sunday edition; Surpradit Kanwanich, a staff
reporter who works mostly for Perspective; Pichai Chuensuksawadi, editor-in-chief; and Veera Prateepchaikul, an editor.

Sanitsuda Ekkachai National Day
A comment by Surin Chanarakh of Bangkok, November 18, 2005:
Generally, the editor and columnist at the Bangkok Post, Sanitsuda Ekkachai, prefers to write about popular
issues that she considers "safe" subjects. These are subjects that have been described in great detail already by countless
reporters, activists, and tourists. Such bandwagon topics include include the plight of refugees from neighboring countries,
Thais without official papers, oppressed minorities, slum dwellers, orphans, squatters, etc.
While these topics are urgent matters that require immediate exposure, the woman is a cheap crook. She writes about popular
social issues to give herself an air of legitimacy as a liberal journalist so that she can perform dirty work for corrupt
officials of government and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) by writing false tributes to them.
Over the years, many people have brought urgent problems, some of them closely related to the above-mentioned issues,
to the Bangkok Post. Often, they have been directed to Ms. Sanitsuda. But she was not interested. She gave them the
runaround. She referred them to government offices or agencies, where her friends were employed, that did absolutely nothing
or tried to dissuade them from complaining or defended the corrupt officials.
In particular, Ms. Sanitsuda likes to ignore the plight of individual missing children who were the victims of pedophiles
and traffickers and complicit officials.

Journalists and all the wrong contacts
September 12, 2013
I worked for the New York Times for many years, in the U. S. and abroad.
I noticed that in stories about the traffic in women and children, staff reporters relied on all the wrong contacts.
They publicized the very officials and NGOs who were known as accomplices of pedophile rings and traffickers
in children or suspected of complicity in the trade. This was especially so in Europe. When I mentioned that to them
they disappeared.
Often, when newspapers send young apprentice reporters abroad they send them to a local newspaper
which assigns the wrong staff journalist to them and they wind up lauding pedophile fronts in articles they send home.
I wondered if they knew what they were doing. I suspected not. But there was a possibility that they did and didn't care.

Declare Ralph Boyce Persona Non Grata
Comment by Frank Rolf, January 4, 2008
Finally, after three long, unpleasant years, Bangkok is free of a big nuisance. Ralph Leo ("Skip") Boyce Junior is gone!
His tour as American Ambassador to Thailand ended with the old year.
Boyce, as ambassador, tried to get the Thai government
to remove or reduce bans on advertising of alcohol and tobacco products. He tried also to get the Thai government to stop
producing desperately needed American anti-AIDs drugs without license. While Washington, D. C., condemned the oppressive Burmese
military dictatorship, Boyce, alone among foreign envoys in Thailand, refused to criticize the Burmese generals; instead he
ducked questions, gave meaningless answers and deferred lamely to the collaborator Thai government, as if he were in the pay
of the Burmese generals or expected his next posting to be Burma.
Good riddance to bad rubbish! Let's hope that's the
last of him.
Before he was ambassador, Boyce, as Acting Chief of Mission in Bangkok in the mid-1990s, conspired with
Central Intelligence Agency operatives at the embassy in an international pedophile and prostitution ring.
Thailand
should declare Boyce persona non grata.
At least, we won't have Boyce's cornball jazz band concerts, which,
by the way, were paid for with State Department funds. Let's get a real jazz musician instead!
Editor: The above letter was posted on the On-line webboard forum of The Nation,
an English-language daily newspaper in Bangkok, in early January 2008. It was deleted after several days, probably at the
request of Boyce.

Reprinted from Postbag, Bangkok Post, Sunday, June 1,
2014:
The ends justify the needs
No one likes to see criticism of a beautiful and charming woman.
But somebody did a job on Somaly Mam.
Whatever her story, Somaly drew world attention to the plight of young girls in prostitution. And she raised millions for
a worthy cause. She was a lot more honest than her UN counterparts and many other NGOs.
Were I responsible for a big international organisation caring for young women in trouble, I would hire Somaly Mam to continue
her work. She doesn’t need a story. All she has to do is be herself.

Comment to this website from Charles Summerton, Sidney, Australia, June 15, 2014
There was no better fund raiser than Somaly Mam.
Without Somaly, funding will probably dry up. What is her organization, which she has been forced to leave, to do
without her? How will it manage? Will it declare bankruptcy in a year or so?
Comment to this website from James Eastman, New York, June 16, 2014
Was it really necessary to cause a scandal? Wouldn't it have been enough to show Somaly a preview of things to
come? She would have stepped aside and that would have been the end of it.
How much did the the press scandal cost?
Comment from Michael Gordon, Anchorage, Alaska, June 16, 2014
I read all that I could find about the Somaly Mam Foundation (SMF).
There appear to be many people working for SMF.
I was surprised to read that SMF donated money to the international so-called non-governemental
organiztion (NGO) End Child Prostitution, Child Pornography And Trafficking of Children for Sexual Purposes (ECPAT).
ECPAT has long been a notorious front for pedophile priests in Europe and charlatans in child protection and children's
rights all over the world.
This organization was started in Thailand in 1991 as End Child Prostitution in Asian Tourism and it was
used intially by Thai NGOs to claim that foreigners were responsible for pedophilia in Thailand. Police reports
indicate that foreigners are but a very small percentage of pedophiles in Thailand.
Newspapers in Thailand often publish articles about Thai police complicity in child prostitution and kidnapping. They run
brothels, some offering boys and girls as young as six or seven. For years the Thai police police have refused to listen to
complainants of crimes committed against children. They send them to ECPAT instead. The employees of ECPAT refuse to consider
the complaints. The employees are crooks. They fear the police. They fear for their jobs and their future.
What bigger tip-off could there be of things gone wrong than funding for ECPAT?
But that ain't all!
SMF has ties to UNICEF. And UNICEF, in Thailand anyway, has been complicit in the traffic in women and children. There
is evidence!
Better check! Is SMF sending out thousands of UNICEF Christmas cards every year? What a racket! All
the more reason to wind things up.
A message from S. Martin, Singapore, September 7, 2014
Somaly was just being Oriental. No big deal. Everyone does it. And it worked!
Everyone knew what she was doing. They all went along with it. And now they're expressing wonder over how long it went
on.
Taking on board the notorious pedophile and trafficking fronts ECPAT and UNICEF must have surprised those in the know.
They were all in on it
Message from Johnson Whiteman, Bangkok, October 13, 2014
What got me is how everyone in Somaly's office was in on it.
Afterward, they were all sitting around, smiling, telling reporters: "Oh, yes! It had to happen -
sooner or kater. We wondered how long it would be. No one was surprised when it happened."

How many NGOs are actually spies using their jobs as
cover? Anybody know?
Comment by Samakh Siphonphat of Bangkok,
August 8 and December 30, 2005:
In every capital city of the world, Thai foreign
ministry officials are notorious for their cowardliness and acquiescence to local officials who traffic Thai women and children
for pedophilia and prostitution. It's an old story.
In fact, many Thai officials abroad actually
conspire with local officials in trafficking Thai women and children and will say anything to cover up the fate of victims.
The most conspicuous Thai officials who are complicit
in the illicit trade are in government offices that are responsible for the protection of Thai women and children, particularly
in the police, attorney general's office, judiciary, prime minister's office, foreign ministry, and labor & welfare ministry.
Thai ambassadors and consular officials abroad
and Thai foreign ministry officials in Bangkok, among them
Surakiart, have covered up the fate of the victims with false reports and denied any wrong-doing. Often, they conspire with
local police and judicial officials to harass and intimidate relatives of victims and other witnesses.
The UN Human Rights Commission was to confront
representatives of the Thai attorney general's office, justice ministry, and foreign ministry at its office in Geneva,
Switzerland last month over reported human rights abuses in Thailand and the disappearances of Thais.
But Thai officials bribed UN officials to ignore
complaints from the public about Thai women and children who were trafficked abroad and disappeared.
Indeed, the current UN High Commissioner for
Human Rights and her two predecessors ignored at least 50 documented cases of Thai women and children who were trafficked
abroad (beyond Southeast Asia) for pedophilia or prostitution and disappeared in the past
ten years. This is largely because officials of national governments and so-called “non-governmental organizations”
(“NGOs”) were complicit. Indeed, dozens of persons in the Bangkok
offices of “NGOs”, like the UN International Labor Organization (ILO) and the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF), use
their positions to traffic in women and children.
Precisely because the UN Human Rights Commission

W. Bush, want to abolish it.

A monster on a human rights
commission
Thais
off to a bad start again
It's nothing but fraud and false fronts for them
Traffickers appointed to new national human rights organization
Thailand a great place for foreign crooks in
child protection
Visa Benjamano conspired with foreign pharmaceutical firms to test experimental drugs in Thai
orpahanages; conspired with traffickers to procure women and children to international pedophile and prostitution
rings; conspired with traffickers to attack victims' families and witnesses
On May 1, 2009 Thailand
’s new undemocratically-selected senate formed the country’s new national human rights commission.
Among the seven commissioners selected by the senate was a notorious
monster, VIsa Benjamano.
As head of the child protection office of the Department of Public
Welfare for the past twenty years, Visa Benjamano was paid by foreign drug companies and traffickers in women and children
to conspire with them in exploiting Thai children.
Ultimately, it was Ms. Visa who allowed foreign pharmaceutical
companies to try out experimental drugs in Thai orphanages.
Ms. Visa allowed pedophile and prostitution rings to take young
women and children abroad for prostitution.
Ms. Visa allowed labor racketeers to send young women abroad to
work in illegal labor camps.
Ms. Visa allowed unqualified foreigners to take Thai children
abroad through adoption scams run by unscrupulous local agents and procurers for prostitution. The children were often used
as cover for prostitutes.
Ms. Visa thwarted efforts to search for Thai children trafficked
abroad. She circulated false accounts about the missing children and waged attacks on witnesses, complainants and victims’
relatives.
There can be no excuse for nominating Visa Benjamano to a human
rights post. Imagine Bruno Hauptman or Marc Dutroux on a human rights panel!
Indeed, what is a murderess like Ms. Visa Benjamano doing on a
human rights panel? Who on earth gave her the idea to apply for the position?
Obviously, a gang is behind Visa’s appointment. And they
are well-known. They have operated openly for decades.

Name names! Who are Visa Benjamano's
backers!
Dear Mr. Hanh,
You won't get any argument
from anyone about Visa Benjamano.
But you should identify
her backers.
They are old pedophiles
in high government positions; they are close to the royal family; they use officials like Visa to procure children.
There are foreigners
too. They are mostly pimps working for the U. S. State Department and the British Foreign Ministry in Bangkok. They are also
American and British journalists. They are traffickers in the Thai police and
NGO-fronts in Bangkok and abroad.

Visa Benjamano
cannot be trusted with children
I remember Visa Benjamano. Her
office is in the Social Welfare compound at the Ratchawithi Home for Girls in Bangkok.
I saw that place several times
in the 1990s. What irked me the most about Visa was the many young children running around her office naked. It was really
strange. It was truely disgusting.

BBC is Pedophile Scandal
Just the tip of the iceberg!
BBC and British Foreign Office thick in Pattaya's yellow slave trade
BBC running with pedophile gangs in Pattaya
A letter from Gabriel
Eastman, Hua Hin, November 11, 2012
BBC employees, or people working
for the BBC, have conspired hand in hand with pedophiles and traffickers in women in children.
I can cite many examples. I will
cite only one here, in Pattaya.
In late 1995, Captain Jongsak Yamlamoon of the Tourist Police in Pattaya was a notorious contact for pedophiles and
traffickers.
He conspired with pedophiles
in the kidnapping of children and with traffickers in women and children.
He also conspired with pedophiles
and traffickers to discredit and intimidate complainants and witnesses.
Thai policemen work closely with
traffickers in narcotics, labor rackets, traffickers in women and children and pedophiles. Occasionally, they become the talk
of the town or a scandalous topic. Thus, they stage phony raids in Pattaya for the media. They ask the media to plant
a small item about it on the front page or an article on an inside page.
The BBC-Radio interrupted its
programming one
day in late 1995 to publicize,
with a bulletin, a raid on pedophiles in Pattaya led by Captain Jongsak. The announcement was heard round the world. But anyone
who knew Captain Jongsak was not fooled. The broadcast had to be a joke. But a dirty joke.
This was an example of an open
conspiracy between the Thai police and the BBC to cover for a pedophile and trafficking gang in the Thai police.
Investigators should go back
to late 1995 and find out what really happened and how BBC employees become involved.
At the time, the chief of the
Pattaya Tourist Police ran his own call girl service, with dozens of local girls. This was common knowledge. Some low-level
officers ran a brothel in the neighboring town of Naklua that offered boys and girls as young as 12; according
to an article in a local paper, the officers were arrested and the children rescued. There were many other odd things.
In the early part of the last
decade, the British consul in Bangkok had a representative
in Pattaya who was much publicized but never available and wholly unresponsive to messages of any kind. Notification of any
matter - be it a murder,
a kidnapping, serious accident -
was ignored. He appeared on local television news programs from time to time
- in dark glasses, black shirt, yellow tie - to say something or other. Hardly the kind of
person one would turn to for anything.
Very bad press.

| Somchai Homla-Or |
Press Touts Thai Human Rights Charlatan,
Somchai Homla-Or
A comment by Prajuab
Wacharapong, Bangkok, May 17, 2009:
Freedom of the press
is essential! But the press must act responsibly, too.
All too often, freedom of the press is abused by corrupt and immoral journalists
and editors for perverse purposes.
Take, for instance, the recent appointment by the Thai senate of seven commissioners
to a new human
rights commission. As expected, there were many complaints that the senate, which was not democratically composed,
further circumvented the democratic process in its selection of the seven.
But the Bangkok
Post, in citing people’s objections to the senate’s selection of the seven commissioners, quoted,
as it has so often before, an obnoxious Thai lawyer and swindler, Somchai Homla-or.
Somchai has long claimed to be a human rights advocate but the Thai press has been aware for many years that Somchai is a crook.
There are dozens of people - local citizens and foreigners
- who can recount in detail how they were cheated by Somchai at the Law Society where he heads the human rights desk. He accepted cases of victims
of human
rights abuses and then conspired with the perpetrators of the abuses to compromise the cases. He considers his
involvement in human rights just another way to make money off of victims. Yet the press continues to laud Somchai as a human
rights advocate.
Editors and journalists must share the blame and the guilt for deliberately misleading
the public by touting swindlers.
Prajuab Wacharapong
Bangkok
Somchai Homla-or is still around!
Comment from Prasart Amphon, Bangkok, August 6,
2012
It's hard to believe but Somchai Homla-Or has not disappeared
from the scene.
Here's a con-man who should have been put away in jail
for life long ago.
He's touted by the Thai press as the top human rights advocate
in Thailand. Not just for the past year or two but for the past two or three decades!
He's Thailand's biggest phoney. Thailand's most
obvious racketeer.
He
fronts for human rights violators. He pays the press or someone does it for him. He has cheated hundreds of victims of human
rights violations.
There is no way to get the cops to arrest him or the courts
to charge him. There is no way to get him disbarred.
He went to school in the U. S.! Maybe we can sue the American
university. It must share the guilt and responsibility.
There is no equivalent of this charlatan Somchai Homla-Or in
other countries. Mafia lawyers have gotten top law enforcement jobs before but they didn't last two or three decades. There
are phoneys who claim to be human rights activisits and they last a long time but the press does not play them up to
such an extent.

| Paveena Hongsakul (Hongsakula) |
Thai NGO-front in conspiracy with kidnappers and traffickers
Politician Paveena Hongsakula a Fraud and a Gangster!
The following letter appeared in The Nation, Thailand's seond largest English-language
daily newspaper, on March 7, 2007:
How much did Paveena Hongsakula pay for the full-page advertisement about herself in the LIfe section
of The Nation on February 26? The ad was published as a feature article, "Paveena the powerhouse", written by two
Thai journalists, Veena Thoopkrajae and Jintana Panyaarvudh. It included a solicitation for funding,
The editors of The Nation have sold out again and joined a conspiracy with phony NGO fronts for
gangs trafficking in women and children to defraud the public and cover up crime.
Kidnappings of children in villages about Bangkok have increased in recent years. The children have been
snatched near school grounds, their homes, and along the road. The children, if not murdered, are sold into slavery for forced
labor and prostitution.
The local police refuse to do anything. Incredible as it may seem, they send the families of kidnapped children
to NGOs, and Paveena Hongsakula in particular.
Needless to say, the NGOs and Paveena do absolutely nothing. The Nation article
described Paveena as "dependable, connected and hardly ever wrong . . . " A lie!
When Paveena was Deputy Minister of Labor & Social Welfare in the second Chuan government she ignored
complainants and victims of kidnapping, trafficking and prostitution who were referred to her by the police.
Paveena is interested only in cases that she can use for political capital. But when police are intransigent,
she is not interested. She takes a case only if she is assured that the police and journalists will stage a raid and she will
get a starring role.
Paveena is a gangster and a fraud. She is a shameful scandal. Her gang of cops and newsmen should be run
in with her and given the maximum punishment. She should be held to account for every case she has ignored and sidetracked.
She should be held responsible for injuries the children suffered.

Paveena Hongsakula is a fraud!
by I. Anastasia, London, England, September 18, 2009
So, what happened in that doping case?
Paveena claimed that bar tenders in Bangkok were slipping Thai women Mickey Finns to trick them into prostitution.
She claimed to have a sample of the substance used on one woman.
She claimed to have sent this substance to the U. S. for testing.
The local press really talked it up. The press played her up as exposing diry bar tenders and defending
innocent Thai women who frequent local bars.
But there was never any confirmation that this substance was what she claimed it was. I watched this
case c\arefully. There never was a lab report.
Yet the local press recalls the matter as if Paveena had uncovered a doping ring.
Here is an excellent example of the Thai press in the pay of NGO-fronts that are used by pimps, kidnappers,
traffickers. pedophiles. Here is an example of the press writing phony stories to boost the sagging image of a charlatan.
The journalists, editors and publishers responsible should be taken to task.
Paveena Hongsakula is back in government
A letter to Hanh Chin from
Sean Humphries, July 10, 2013
Paveena Hongsakula was barred from government for five years after the coup d’etat
that toppled Thaksin Shinawatra in 2006.
But now that Thaksin’s little sister, Yingluck, in prime minister, Paveena is
back in the cabinet.
Why appoint a shady figure with ties to pedophile rings and the traffic in women in
children to the cabinet?
Surprisingly, a private national pollster claimed Paveena Hongsakula was the most popular
cabinet member - even
more popular than Chaturon Chaisang and the prime minister, Yingluck.
Surely, there was a mistake. How could the Thai public consider Paveena Hongsakula the
most popular figure in the cabinet?
There are four possibilities.
The most likely is that Paveena bribed the pollster to rig the results.
A second possibility is that the Thai public mistook Paveena for her older sister, Apasra
Hongsakula, who was Thailand’s first Miss Universe, in 1965.
The third possibility is that Paveena is the false hope of very silly
fools who like to believe that cops, NGOs and politicians are what they claim to be. They praise the crook who pretends
to be against illicit labor rackets and the traffic in women and children and promises to rescue victims. But Paveena was
exposed for the fraud that she is long ago.
The fourth possibility is that Thais have more use and more respect for traffickers
in women and children than anything else.
Thailand is like Miami, Las Vegas, Tel-Aviv, old Havana and old
Tangiers. Pedophiles, pimps, traffickers in women and children operate openly and freely, despite repeated complaints to the
police and newspapers. They have a co-conspirator in Paveena Hongsakula, who maintains a private organization as a front and
works out of a government office.
While Paveena claims to be concerned about the plight of prostitutes and sexually abused
and trafficked children she seldom responds to complaints about pedophiles and traffickers or to requests to rescue victims.
She ignores 99% of complaints to her.
There are countless trafficking cases over the years that Paveena refused to consider
because the police, cronies in government and NGOs were complicit.
The few police raids on pimps that she accompanied were staged for the press.
Paveena conspired with local newspaper publishers to blackmail big five-star international
chain hotels by planting false accusations against them in the local press. Front page, headline news! She claimed the hotels
solicited prostitution in their brochures through photos of elegant women in sleeveless dresses in hotel lobbies and in swimming
suits in hotel swimming pools. Since when does a sleeveless dress or swim suit mean a woman is a prostitute?
The attempt to extort money from the hotel chains failed.
Paveena also falsely accused an innocent foreign bar tender of doping a Thai woman.
She claimed to have evidence and promised to provide it but she never did, yet the press wrote up the matter as
one of her great successes.
Paveena’s criminal conduct over the years is well-documented. There are countless
people who can testify against her - victims, complainants, people who worked in her office and people
who have worked for the media.
Paveena Hongsakula was exposed as a fraud and a front long ago, way back in the 1990s.
So, why is she again in the government?
The most likely possibility is that Paveena is expected to cover for pedophile
and prostitution rings and international labor rackets operated by Thaksin's friends, with the complicity of government
agencies, especially in the police. She might be used by Yingluck and Thaksin to intimidate and extort money from big
corporations.
Pracha Pramnok, notorious mob finger man, is still in the government, after all these
years. But, so far, there is no Surakiat Sathirathai or Jakrapob Penkair.

Racketeers in the child-and-women protection business
July 8, 2014 - 1:00 am
Re: "Trafficking 'Requires Regional Response', National, The Nation, Bangkok, June 30, 2014
I was surprised to see the ambassadors of Norway, Spain and Switzerland
posing for photos at a public ceremony with a long-time Thaksin politician, Paveena Honsakula. After all, the country is still
under martial law.
The three ambassadors were ill-advised and they should be rebuked by the
local authorities.
The occasion was just as surprising. The three ambassadors - all women -
got together with Paveena to make a public vow to combat human trafficking. The venue was a seminar in Bangkok hosted by an
organisation called Anti Alliance Traffic (AAT) and held late last month.
There are many charlatans in the child-and-women protection business. They
are racketeers. Anyone who has been in Thailand for the past 15 years will know that there is evidence Paveena belongs to
this category.
There are countless cases in which Paveena reportedly conspired or colluded
with the traffickers instead of rescuing the victims.
An enterprising journalist should take a long hard look at Paveena and write
a full expose.
Diplomats should be more careful. Read the papers. Know who's who. And check
with people who know something about the country. One does not pose for photos with the wicked witch of the forest while searching
for Hansel and Gretel.

NGO and website fail to live up to billing
Thai NGOs in scam with American Embassy in Bangkok
An article, "Website against
human trafficking", by Pakamard Jaichalard, that appeared in The Nation nine
months ago, on June 24, 2006, announced the creation of a non-governmental organization (NGO) that was to be an anti-human
trafficking team.
This NGO
anti-human trafficking team was to be headed by Veerasak Kowsurat, a politician who had held various
positions such as deputy leader of the Chart Thai party; Vice Culture Minister; Social Development and Human Security
Ministry advisor; and chairman of the House committee on women, children and the elderly.
According to the article, this
NGO was to work with foreign embassies in Bangkok to prevent international human trafficking. Yet, despite repeated requests to post the website
in English, the universally accepted lingua franca, this NGO's website remains in only one language, Thai.
Many other people and organizations
that claim to be working against human trafficking have posted their websites in English along with their native languages.
This is not just a courtesy to foreign visitors but also a necessity.
This Thai NGO
has had more than enough time to post a website in English. But it has not done so
and it has ignored inquiries in English, raising serious doubts about its sincerity to work against human trafficking.
More than likely, this NGO
is just another scam to provide the U. S. State Department an excuse to distribute funds to Thais who claim to be working
against human trafficking, in particular the traffic in women and children.
These funds from the U. S.
government are really bribes to local NGOs to ignore human trafficking conducted by the American Embassy in Bangkok.
Hundreds of Thai women are trafficked abroad by the American Embassy in Bangkok every year to work as
prostitutes and illicit labor. And no NGO in Thailand has ever complained about
it.
Thai children, too, are sent
abroad by the American Embassy in pedophile and prostitution rackets.
Thai NGOs never mention complaints
they receive about traffickers in foreign embassies.
When asked to recover victims
of traffickers, the Thai police are quickly compromised by the foreign embassies of the countries to which the victims were
trafficked. The Thai police often victimize the friends, neighbors and relatives of victims of traffickers as well as witnesses
and complainants.

Thai Police Complicit in Kidnapping and Trafficking in
Children
The letter the Bangok Post refused to publish
The Nation, Bangkok, Letters to the Editor,
January 11, 2007:
An article in The Bangkok Post, “Police inaction
‘plays into hands of child traffickers’,” on January 10, 2008, by Anjira Assavaninda, is the latest report
of a private organization, or so-called “non-governmental organization”, this time the Mirror Foundation, to complain
about Thai police intransigence toward the kidnapping and trafficking of children. The article also included the latest public
claim by a policeman, this time Pol. Lt. Gen. Thavornsak Thepchatri, deputy national police chief, that the police are doing
their job.
The Mirror Foundation, and other organizations and individuals, are right, of course, and, indeed, they
should complain. The Thai police have long been notorious for their incompetence and reluctance to pursue child trafficking
cases. The Mirror Foundation is pressing for changes in police regulations that could compel policemen for perform their duty.
Pol. Gen. Thavornsak claims that new regulations and laws are unnecessary. But trafficking in children has long been illegal
in Thailand and the police have done nothing to enforce the law.
Unfortunately, the reason for this police intransigence
was not mentioned in the article - and seldom is mentioned in any article. But it should be: the Thai police have long been
notorious for their complicity in the kidnapping and trafficking of children for prostitution.
In almost every city
and big town in Thailand , police chiefs run brothels or procure prostitutes for brothels. Many policemen procure minors of
both sexes. They also procure women and children to international trafficking gangs for procurement for prostitution overseas.
Some Thai policemen own travel agencies that conspire with procurers in trafficking women and children for prostitution overseas.
It’s an old story. Policemen in Thailand are reluctant to respond to complaints about the kidnapping, trafficking
and procurement of children for paedophilia and prostitution because their work-mates, or they themselves, might be complicit.
Local foreign consular personnel are often part of the trafficking network. Many non-governmental organizations (“NGOs”)
are in conspiracy with trafficking gangs and paedophile rings to ignore complaints, to cover up with false reports denying
police complicity, and even to attack the complainants. Newspaper hacks portray corrupt policemen as diligently performing
their duty.

British journalists work hand in hand with traffikcers in women and children
A message from E. B. White, Pattaya, Thailand, January 12, 2006
What better place to observe British journos and traffickers at work than Pattaya!
In Pattaya, even the Britsh Consul has a mobster representing its interests.
What are those interests?
They're the girls in the bars and massage parlours who might want to go to England to work as whores for
the mob. The British consul in Bangkok, thriough his man in Pattaya, is in on the deal.
And in the press, particularly the BBC, the British journos tout the Thai cops in on the deal for their
phony sting operations.
And look at the junkets! All the child killers in phony offices in the Thai government in the
company of British journos.
Note who they are!

Pedophiles operating in the open in Thailand!
The Nation and the Bangkok Post often print obscene letters from
obnoxious homoseuxals, pedophiles and procurers.
For example:
Bangkok Post, March 11, 2006
POSTBAG
Fr Joe Maier
In an article entitled "Living Past the Nightmare" (Perspective, Mar 5), Father Joe Maier continues his story of six
street urchins who fell under the influence of foreign paedophiles some four years ago. The paedophiles were arrested, the
children sent to reform school and Fr Maier brings us up to date by relating the children's return to skid row.
He blames their predicament on the exposure to paedophilia. "These men (foreign paedophiles) ripped off their dignity,
trading it for shame," Fr Maier writes.
Well, we really don't know. If the paedophiles were not arrested the children would have had baths and a chance to
give some support to their families. As Fr Maier told us four years ago the children were being similarly exploited,
free of charge, by pimps in the Klong Toey slum. The children were probably not too happy to end up in reform schools that
tend to impart a criminal education.
What the story lacks is input from the victims. What do they think of the turn of events? My own feeling is that everyone
would be better off if you left the situation alone.
FRANK LOMBARD
The editors have a responsibility to the public not to print letters advocating pedophilia.
If the editors behaved responsibly a reply, such as the one that follows,
would not be necessary.
Bangkok Post, April 12, 2006
POSTBAG
Protect children from sex slavery
I was appalled by a letter by Frank Lombard in the March 11 Postbag, written in response to an article by the famous
American priest in Bangkok, Father Joseph Maier, that appeared in your
Perspectives section on March 5.
Mr Lombard believes that Father Maier should not try to save children from sexual deviants that prey upon them. He
claims that children might actually be better off in the hands of foreign paedophiles than in the care of Father Maier or
a state institution.
It is true that, generally, state institutions do more harm than good to children, but it is almost certain that a
child in the hands of a paedophile suffers harm.
Mr Lombard suggests that if foreign paedophiles are not arrested and the children they victimise are not institutionalised,
the children might be better off because the foreign paedophiles give them baths and support their families.
I recall from my many years of living upcountry the frequent responses of adult relatives of children who were trafficked
overseas as prostitutes and procured by paedophiles. The relatives believed that any life abroad, even that of a prostituted
child, had to be better than their own life, that of a poor farmer. They were sure that the young child, once abroad, would
make his or her own way to a healthy and happy life and to good fortune. Some of these adults were local grade school teachers,
policemen and social workers. Some of them frequented brothels at the local district headquarters that procured boys and girls
under the age of 13.
Mr Lombard's argument is perverse and the same tone that one hears from the pimp, procurer, trafficker, and complicit
official. I have heard this line many times - from prostitutes, homosexuals, paedophiles, gangsters, school teachers, social
workers, policemen, journalists, negligent and abusive parents and so-called non-governmental organisations.
They all belong in jail.

Frank Lombard is a writer for the Bangkok Post
A comment by Walter Dome, Berlin, July 5, 2010
I am shocked to learn that the Bangkok Post has
hired Frank Lombard to write about local crime. His articles have been published and can be found on the Internet.
This is the same person who claims that Thai children are
better off with foreign pedophiles than they are in government homes. In a government home institutionalized children have
at least some chance to evade or escape the perverse government employees who prey upon them. And
Lombard objects to the arrests of the foreign pedophiles because, he says, they take better
care of the children than the city slums can.
This guy should be put away. And his friends at the Bangkok
Post too.
