Close, but the slaves are primarily Cambodian and Myanmarese who flee to Thailand and end up on those fishing vessels. There was a great series of nautical-themed long-form journalism by the NYT a few years ago and one of the stories [0] dealt specifically with this. It's a tough, but great read, as are the other stories from the series.
