The Chinese Embassy in Thailand has issued an urgent alert 📢 urging citizens to avoid “high-paying recruitment” scams after actor Wang Xing was rescued from a human trafficking operation near the Thailand-Myanmar border.
From Dream Job to Nightmare
Wang, who arrived in Thailand on Jan. 3, 2025, was lured by promises of lucrative work and free travel. But his “opportunity” turned dangerous after being driven to rural Myanmar. “He documented his journey like a true influencer,” said Thai Senior Inspector Thatchai Pitaneelaboot, noting Wang sent license plate photos and location pins to his girlfriend 🚨.
Border Rescue Operation
Thai police tracked Wang’s movements through Chainat and Kamphaeng Phet provinces. Their breakthrough? 🕵️♂️ The traffickers drove straight from Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport to the border without stopping—making digital breadcrumbs easier to follow.
“False job offers are gateway drugs to modern slavery,” warned the Chinese Embassy statement, thanking Thai authorities for prioritising Wang’s safe return 🇨🇳🤝🇹🇭.
