The headline is a little misleading, it appears she was not abducted but went willingly with the Chinese gent who then detained & robbed her providing her version of events is true. 11 1 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I'm a Canadian "tourist" living in a house - as far as the Thai police are concerned. Unless you are a citizen or have Permanent Residence, you are considered a "tourist". Even if you have a wife, children, house, 2 cars, 2 motorcycles, 3 cats, 2 dogs and 12 cows, you are still classed as a "tourist". 7 13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RobU Posted April 24, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 24, 2023 427000 baht and a phone might cover the plane tickets. Either the thieves are stupid or this is a setup. I note that because of this and other incidents, Chinese nationals now have to gain approval from the Chinese Embassy if they apply to extend their stay in Thailand (?!) Conspiracy theory: these attacks are staged so that the Chinese government has further excuse to monitor its citizens abroad. The victims are innocent of political motive. The perpetrators are not. Illegal Chinese police stations are being closed down in other countries and their staff arrested but I see nothing for Thailand. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red notice is no arrest warrant. Thailand has no power to issue international arrest warrants. Not a member of Interpol and they know why they are not. It is just an information.

So he befriended her on the 17th and she was in his apartment by the early ours of the 18th. She obviously knew him well then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
