Police Lt. Col. Komvich Padhanarath says the three suspects had allegedly recruited women on Facebook and forced them to work as sex workers in Kuala Lumpur.
He said the Department of Special Investigation, tipped off by anti-slavery group Freeland, apprehended Kheng Hsiang Low and two women at three different locations in Thailand this week.
Komvich said Low would tell the women they were going to work in restaurants and spas.
The three are facing charges of human trafficking, forcing women into prostitution and taking part in a transnational crime network.
He said six Thai women were trafficked by the syndicate in the past five years.
