A hospital director and two other men have been arrested for buying sex services from girls under 18 in Loei province.

Anti-Trafficking in Persons Division (ATPD) officers apprehended the director of a hospital in Loei, a municipal worker and an air conditioning repairman on Thursday.

The suspects were wanted on charges of buying sex from girls under 18 and enticing them into lewd activities, police said.

The arrests were made following the arrest of a married couple early this year for procuring underage girls into prostitution in this northeastern province. The couple charged customers between 2,000 and 10,000 baht per sex service and gave the girls 1,000 baht each.

During questioning, the three men admitted to buying sex from girls under the couple's control.
