Thai authorities are urgently searching for a missing Chinese woman, fearing she may have been trafficked across the border to a neighbouring country. The woman, Angie, arrived in Chiang Mai after flying from Kuala Lumpur on May 29 and was last seen in the Mae Sai district of Chiang Rai. Her family reportedly lost contact with her on June 1.

 

Angie’s mother is increasingly concerned as the region is known for its large casinos and incidents involving abduction, ransom, and murder cases.

 

In a joint effort, local police, immigration officers, and officials from the tourism police in northern Thailand have been working together to investigate Angie’s disappearance.

Sad if she has been trafficked.

Hope that they find the poor lass safe and sound.

I thought they were illegal inside Thailand?

I guess by region they are referring to SE asia.

Hence the reason her mother believes she was trafficked across the border.

Maybe she doesn’t want her mother to know where she is.
