A female freshman in Guangdong was invited by a "friend" to Thailand for the Water Splashing Festival. Upon arrival, she was abducted and later sold to a scam compound in Myanmar. Her family paid about ¥200,000 (US$29,318) in ransom, but the captors kept delaying. Police are investigating.
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.
I strongly condemn the unprovoked use of violence by the Thai side against innocent Cambodian civilians in Prey Chan Village in the afternoon of 12 November 2025, which resulted in injuries to three Cambodian civilians and the tragic loss of one life.
This act violates international humanitarian law and international law, and goes against humanitarian principles and the mutual agreement previously reached to resolve border issues through peaceful means—especially the agreement to allow the Joint Boundary Commission (JBC) to conduct survey and emplacement of temporary markers, and to maintain the status quo until the completion of the survey and a final decision by the JBC.
I call on the Thai side to immediately cease the use of force against innocent Cambodian civilians in Prey Chan Village and to refrain from any use of force in addressing border issues between our two countries.
I also call for an independent investigation into this incident and appeal for the participation of qualified international parties to uncover the truth and those responsible in order to deliver justice for the victims.
At the same time, I instructed the local authorities and all security forces to take urgent measures to protect our civilians—placing absolute priority on their safety and lives.
Cambodia remains committed to resolving this border issue peacefully, in accordance with the spirit of the Joint Declaration signed in Kuala Lumpur on 26 October 2025, with the goal of ending the conflict and building peace between our two nations.

Thai soldiers have opened fire on Cambodian civilians, injuring five in Prey Chan village along the disputed border.

Thai soldiers opened fire on civilians in Prey Chan village, Ou Beychoan commune, Ou Chrov district, Banteay Meanchey province, at around 4pm, injuring five civilians, according to preliminary information from local authorities.
🚨🇰🇭Thai soldiers reportedly opened fire on Cambodian civilians in Prey Chan village, Ou Beychoan commune, Ou Chrov district, Banteay Meanchey province. Preliminary reports from local authorities indicate that five civilians were injured in the incident. Officials have yet to provide details on the victims’ conditions or clarify whether any confrontation preceded the shooting.
The incident occurred just two weeks after the signing of the Peace Declaration, casting serious doubt on Thailand’s commitment to regional stability. It raises a critical question: Does Thailand truly seek peace—or is it undermining the very agreement it pledged to uphold?

Phnom Penh, August 04, 2025
Spokesperson of the Ministry of National Defense Kingdom of Cambodia :
I would like to inform the public, as well as national and international journalists, of the following:
At 11 a.m. this morning, Thai armed forces, accompanied by heavy machinery such as excavators, entered An Ses area within Cambodian sovereign territory, and even laid barbed wire, despite strong objections from our forces. It is also worth noting that Cambodia recently arranged a visit by foreign military attachés to those locations on July 30, 2025, clearly demonstrating that these areas are part of Cambodian sovereign territory. This act constitutes a flagrant violation of the ceasefire and poses a grave threat to peace and security along the border between the two countries, as well as to the wider region. Cambodia calls on the international community — particularly partner countries that have worked tirelessly to help achieve this hard-won ceasefire and wish to see it fully and effectively implemented — to demand that Thailand immediately stop its aggressive actions and strictly respect international law, especially Cambodia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
#ExposeThailandLies #JusticeForCambodia
It happened again. Thai forces abducted 20 Cambodian soldiers, one escaped, two are feared dead, immediately after the ceasefire, during what was supposed to be a goodwill handshake at Chom Tae.
As of July 30, they remain in detention, a blatant betrayal that undermines trust and casts doubt on Thailand’s commitment to peace.

#ExposeThailandLies
Thailand betrayed the ceasefire, luring 20 Cambodian soldiers with a promise of friendship only to detain them, and shooting two others whose fate remains unknown. This act shatters the trust of the Kuala Lumpur agreement and violates the 1949 Geneva Conventions on POWs.

Stop saying Cambodia is playing the victim — we are the victim. This video was made before the news broke that Thai troops deceived Cambodian soldiers by pretending to shake hands, only to gang up on them, capture, and kill our men. This is their lowest, cheapest, and most disgraceful act — a blatant violation of the ceasefire and international law. Thailand should be ashamed of itself. The military committed a vile act, and yet their people twist the narrative to cover it up. #ExposeThailandLies
