Thailand police have rescued dozens of Bangladeshis after being abducted and shipped to the country to be sold as slaves.
According to a BBC report, the men were promised well-paid jobs, before being drugged, bound and kidnapped.
Thai government said they were trying to fight the slave trade, but have been accused of "dragging their heels" on the issue.
From October 11 to 13, Thailand police rescued 116 Bangladeshis who were being trafficked from the country.
The 38 Bangladeshis captured on October 11 have alleged that they were unwilling travellers from Bangladesh, kidnapped one by one by gangs and forced onto a fishing boat by human traffickers.
On October 13, Thai police rescued 78 Bangladeshi human-trafficking victims hiding on a remote island in the country.
