From the article:-

Just across from Kings Romans, on the Thai side of the Mekong River, the Golden Triangle is a tranquil tourist spot, where visitors stop at the foot of a giant Buddha to snap a selfie with views of three countries, and elephants roam the grounds of a luxury resort.
But the tiny dock for the boat to Kings Romans is papered with signs alerting people to the dangers of human trafficking and fake job offers. Given the zone’s proximity, the Thais are easily lured in, but once they have made the five-minute journey across the river, it becomes nearly impossible for Thai authorities to get them out.
