The Royal Thai Police (RTP) has been commended by Chinese and Japanese authorities for their efforts in assisting foreign nationals, including high-profile individuals, to safely return to their home countries.

 

Among those assisted were Chinese actor Wang Xing and model Yang Zheqi, both of whom expressed gratitude for the support and coordination provided by Thai authorities.

 

The Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in Thailand also issued a statement acknowledging the Thai government’s effective operations, helping to build trust among international visitors and residents.

 

Pol Gen Thatchai Pitaneelaboot, Senior Inspector General and Director of the Anti-Human Trafficking Center outlined ongoing efforts to combat human trafficking and scams targeting individuals lured into illegal work via Thailand as a transit point.

The RTP is working closely with international agencies to strengthen cooperation on these issues. Operations have focused on intercepting illegal border crossings and ensuring the safety of both Thai and foreign victims of exploitation.

 

The Japanese Embassy recently thanked the RTP for their timely intervention in locating and repatriating a Japanese youth, further demonstrating Thailand’s capability in addressing such cases.

 

These efforts have bolstered Thailand’s image as a safe destination for international tourists and foreign residents.

 

Pol Gen Thatchai addressed allegations from certain foreign media outlets accusing Thailand of involvement in illegal recruitment operations, clarifying that Thailand is not a source of such activities and that criminal gangs typically use the country as a transit point to transport victims to neighboring countries.

 

The RTP is now preparing legal action against those spreading misinformation that damages the country’s reputation and image.
