In East Asia, traffickers may visit cities such as Bangkok or Phnom Penh, befriend a young woman at a hotel, restaurant, or store, and offer to take her to another country for a "vacation."

US Department Of State Post Report
The Consulate General offers a limited number of full- and part-time employment opportunities, such as secretary positions at the Consulate General and DEA, community liaison officer, and (sometimes) grocery store sales associate. Employment opportunities outside the Consulate General are possible, and the international schools sometimes hire teachers, the American University Alumni Association is often looking for English teachers, and local universities are often delighted to have an English-speaking professor in a professional field (i.e., engineering). Wages outside of the Consulate, however, are very low by American standards. Depending on the needs of the Consulate community and funding availability, the Consulate participates in the Embassy’s Summer Hire Program for Teens. This enables dependents over the age of 16 to gain work experience during their summer vacation. ... [Read More]
