It is mainland Chinese gangs stationed in Thailand who prey on the children of influential/well-off people from China. It starts with a ransom demand and if their demands are not met, they kill the kidnappee.

I get that but it says her father is a music teacher in China … not a lucrative profession to be paying out kidnapping ransom

Unfortunately many countries are buying into the new "Silk Road" being built by China.

As some other countries have already learnt, having China move in comes at a cost.

Nothing from China is free.

The infamous Chinese debt trap!

And just the other day the Chinese's authorities were warning Chinese not to travel to Thailand saying that Thailand is a dangerous place and Thais are all crooks and not to be trusted.

Are you sure the Chinese GOV or their Agents made such a statement? "ALL THAIS ARE CROOKS"?? 555

Her father is wealthy, allegedly.

Yeah i think the answer to my question is it's easier to do the crime unpunished in Thailand than China

A smart man once questioned why we boast our failures at the front of the news (papers) and our accomplishments (sport) at the back?

A news article with more adjectives than you can shake a stick at, demonizing the Chinese.

And the repetition, especially in the Thai Examiner article, over and over and over.  Reminds me of US news reports where they are desperate you believe it.

Yes, better that the only news made available for public consumption concerns niceness and goodness, with a ban applied to the publication of anything depressing, dark, cruel or violent. What a wonderful world it would then seem to be.

There's more to this. What's the motive? They came all the way to Thailand to murder a music student?

Try reading the OP fully, the motive has been reported all over the media.

They haven't, there's millions of tourists coming from other countries.

I don't think they'll be turning themselves in sometime next Thursday or at a time convenient to both parties!

That's not the intention.  Arrest warrants have to be issued in order for Interpol Red Notices to be requested.

Not so poor that they couldn't get their daughter to a music school in Thailand, even exchange students have considerable expenses in a foreign country..

The senior police officer further said the CCTV system also shows three men of Chinese appearance entering a convenience store near a housing estate in Bang Yai, adding that witnesses confirm that the men had visited the store on several occasions.

 

Chinese facial recognition systems are supposed to be the most thorough in the world. So these people should be easily caught, if they went back to China, yes?

Maybe the immigration cops time would be better off going after REAL criminals who kill people?

They don't need to, the regular RTP are doing that but they cannot act before a crime is committed or before they are advised of it!

 

"...better off going after REAL criminals who kill people?"

It sounds as though you're suggesting that murder is the only crime that should be investigated.  I take it that the Immigration officials in your country have abandoned their posts in order to do the work of the police force or are you just advocating it for Thailand?

I retired from teaching at Mahidol. But I know something about the situation at BTU, which is only a few km from Mahidol's Salaya campus. There are lots of Chinese students at BTU. Almost all are getting post graduate degrees. The best program at BTU is the music program, and it has the largest amount of PRC students. Most of them are not wealthy. They are here to get a graduate credential for qualifications back in China. And back in China, most of them are already employed as teachers. Some are professors already at Chinese universities. The age range is from the early to mid 20s all the way to the late 40s.

Yes, they left the country before the kidnapping was reported to the police, how could the police have stopped them from leaving?
