Abstract
In Thailand, human trafficking, terrorist financing and contraband goods share a distinct economic relationship. This relationship involves organized criminal elements and terrorist networks as well as ordinary people who are unaware of their involvement with terrorists and criminals. Human trafficking in Southeast Asia moves through all major cities and communications hubs. Uighur, Rohingya, Indonesians, Chinese, and minorities are often the target of human traffickers. These criminal networks often involve pooling of resources from prostitution, gambling, drugs, and contraband. This paper focuses on contraband in Thailand and China and attempts to link it to human trafficking and terrorism in Thailand.
