In a heart-wrenching tale of deceit, a Taiwanese man, Chia Wei Te, was defrauded of nearly 10 million baht by a Thai woman he believed he would marry. Driven to seek justice, he travelled to Thailand, only to find that the woman had vanished.

 

Chia, 34, filed a complaint at Pha Khao Police Station in Loei province, detailing his relationship with 25-year-old Kwanthida, who lured him into a fraudulent romance while working as a service worker in Taiwan. She gained his trust over several years, promising a shared future.

 

Kwanthida initially borrowed small sums, claiming she needed to renovate her Pha Khao district home for sale. To support the supposed joint future, Chia sold his Taiwan house, sending her money totalling 9.3 million baht in 52 transactions.

 

 

Despite her reassurances, Kwanthida grew evasive, and a false photo of money in a bank safe coaxed further funds from Chia, leading him to realise her deceit too late. Overwhelmed, Chia even contemplated suicide before relatives intervened.

 

When tracked down by reporters, Kwanthida admitted to the scam from abroad, spending all the funds on personal indulgences. The promised future was simply a facade built on deception, including the renovation story. Her family denied knowledge of her actions, claiming innocence concerning her financial activities.

 

Police are investigating the intricate scam. Meanwhile, Chia remains in Thailand, holding onto slim hopes of clawing back some part of his lost wealth, desperately seeking closure and justice for the betrayal he endured, reported The Thaiger.
