Giovanni Falconi     Thai Mafia Profits from the illegal economy have contributed to the rise of “Jao Pho” (Godfathers) in Thai society and politics. Not all of the local businessmen who are sometimes described by these terms are engaged in illegal businesses. But many of them are. They also conduct legal businesses as a front and as additional sources of profit. In many cases they use their influence to gain lucrative concessions and contracts from the government. They enhance their social position in society by helping build local infrastructure, donating to temples and welfare services, and entertaining important local and national politicians. Most political parties at one time or another have looked for support from the underworld's Jao Pho, whose influence is especially pronounced in the major vote banks of the northeast. Chinese Mafia in Thailand The Ethnic Chinese (mostly Chiu Chow – from the Swatow Province of Southern China) are the largest non-Thai minority, totaling six million people (11% of the population). Whilst the vast majority of Thai-Chinese are law-abiding citizens and have contributed greatly to the advancement of Thailand, there are, however, a number of Chiu Chow groups operating in Thailand which are very actively and successfully involved in organized crime, particularly prostitution, people trafficking and the drug trade.
