Chinese Student Lured to Bangkok for Songkran, Sold to a Myanmar Compound Within 48 Hours

A 19-year-old first-year university student from Guangdong flew from Guangzhou to Bangkok on April 10 for Songkran. Round trip, return booked April 15. She'd been invited by a woman she met online, who had been to Thailand in January.

The friend never showed at the airport. A stranger took her instead. Two days later she was across the Myanmar border in the Three Pagodas area opposite Kanchanaburi, sold into a scam compound. Captors told the family they'd bought her for 29,000 USDT and wanted 30,000 to let her go. They threatened gang rape if the family didn't pay. On April 13 the father transferred 30,000 USDT, around 210,000 yuan or $30,000.

Then the stalling. April 16, captors said roads were closed. April 18, the pickup car was nearly at the compound when they said they had to "process her resignation," wait until the 20th. April 22, another 7 to 10 days. That evening they said she'd be released. When the father told them he was coming to pick her up the next day, they stopped replying. She's still in the compound. Family stays in contact through WeChat, sometimes her, sometimes the boss. Police opened a case April 14. The Chinese embassy in Myanmar has been notified.
