Chinese Mother Dumps Daughter Outside Chiang Mai Estate

A Chinese national left her teenage daughter outside a guardhouse at a housing estate in Chiang Mai’s Saraphi district on the morning of 7 June 2026, prompting police intervention and assistance from tourist police.

Police were alerted at 07:30 after reports that a Chinese woman had been left outside a guardhouse near a village close to Xingsheng School in Chai Sathan subdistrict. Officers from Saraphi Police Station responded to the scene and found the young woman sitting alone outside the guardhouse in a distressed state.

Village staff remained with her and provided support while officers contacted Chiang Mai Tourist Police for assistance. Authorities estimated the young woman to be around 18 years old.

According to police, the woman explained that she had travelled to Chiang Mai for a visit with her mother. The pair had become involved in an argument, after which her mother drove her to that location and dumped her there before leaving the area.

Police said the incident appeared to be a family dispute rather than a criminal matter. Tourist police subsequently took the young woman to the Tourist Police office, where efforts are being made to contact her mother and help resolve the disagreement.

Officials said they intend to mediate between the two family members in the hope of reaching an agreement. Authorities have not disclosed further details about the argument or the circumstances leading up to it.

Police said the immediate priority is to reunite the mother and daughter and facilitate discussions between them. No injuries or other offences were reported in connection with the incident.

Khaosod reported that if mediation efforts are unsuccessful, authorities said the matter will be referred to the Chinese Consulate in Chiang Mai for further assistance and support.

Word of advice, don't go on holiday with a mother as evil as that, although she probably does similar things in China

Obviously a lot missing from this story - what is the significance of the mother choosing that location to dump her daughter at, for instance.

One could assume a major loss of face is involved for such a reaction.

Another poor parenting story.

I know teenage girls can be a bit difficult at times but abandoning here is cruel. A son I can understand but females are so vulnerable.

Probably lucky she's in Thailand, very safe. In the west it could have ended so different.

We had to rent our daughter a condo fifty metres from her school. We just weren't willing to put up with all the conflict at home. Teenage girls, arrggh! We're not so close now, either.

She really should be self sufficient by that age and if she isn't self sufficient then she needs to learn not to antagonise her Mother

The Chinese here in Thailand are way worse on every front than any other nationality... and all the morons on here concentrate on the bad old Brits, which are not even close the the BS the Chinese pull.

There's a fair sized community of Chinese in Chiang Mai nowadays; it has been growing steadily and post covid, it really has increased. Some clearly have a subtle confidence, with many, an aloofness and their natural disregard for others often shows. Is it natural, cultural, is it an adaption to life abroad, is it their media, is it indoctrination..............?

I wouldn't know, but probably a mix..however personally, I have met some wonderful families from mainland China in Chiang Mai over the last few years, mostly educating their children and escaping a different world; as well as observerving some traits in others' that get my goat..........over confidence can bring with it an arrogance and workers on film sets working through the night willy nilly shows a disregard for authority and I don't think they really care. I think they genuinely believe their governnment with it's influence here in Asia or in the least, their nationality will make it all go away.

Recently, I seem to be seeing alot of negative press in regard to Chnese committing some quite serious crimes in and around Thailand's borders, whether it be arms dealing, kidnappings or scam centres, I mean come on, only the other day, I was chatting with a shady Jade merchant operating over the border in Myanmar and who really drives all the lairy and flash vehicles here. It doesn't take alot to spot a criminal, the body language and look is the same world over, the eye movement, the swivel head, the seat choice, the attire, the cigarettes, the bolshiness, and that's the street guys.

Then there's the intermediaries, of which there are many here in Chiang Mai, the smarter ones, the one's who drive the Raptors, operate subterranean RMB to THb exchanges, facilitate and flit back and forth between countries.....

The bosses slip in rarely; more r&r, we have a new influencial team here in the Kingdom and it's not the Germans of old Pattaya from the 80's, not the Russians, or wannabe Brit gangsters and rejects from Marseille; but Thailand's near neighbour, just 90 mins direct flight away, Chiang Mai to Kunming.................Expect more press and schenanigans as China's sphere of influence is serious and growing exponentially, especially here in SE Asia, and their citizens now know and enjoy that fact.................

This is the kind of story that gets Pattaya bar owners rubbing their hands together with glee. A few probably sent their mamasan up there to recruit the girl before the mother changes her mind.
