Police in Pattaya are hunting two Chinese men after a Thai woman was allegedly bound, threatened at gunpoint and held captive in her home in the early hours of the morning.

 

At around 03.05 on 22 August, Pol Col Anek Srathongyu, Superintendent of Pattaya City Police Station, received a report of a hostage incident at house number 413/25 in Suphamit Village, Soi Bongkot, Pattaya. He immediately dispatched patrol and investigative units to the scene.

 

The house, described as a two-storey pool villa, was where officers found a Thai woman, who has not been named, aged between 30 and 40, visibly shaken. She told police that two Chinese men had stormed into the property, threatened her with a firearm, tied her hands with cable ties and locked her inside a bedroom while waiting for her Chinese husband to return.

 

The victim managed to free herself and fled to seek help from neighbours, who then alerted the police.

 

As officers arrived, one of the suspects attempted to escape in a white Toyota car. In his bid to flee, he rammed a police motorcycle and a parked civilian vehicle, causing damage, before leading police on a high-speed chase for more than 20 kilometres. He ultimately evaded capture in the Huay Yai area near Thara Resort.

 

Neighbours confirmed to police that the victim had run to them in distress, claiming she had been tied up by two Chinese nationals who were apparently planning to demand a ransom and ambush her husband.

 

Pol Col Anek said both the Thai woman and her Chinese husband have been taken in for questioning as investigators consider possible motives, including debts, personal disputes or business conflicts.

 

“During the incident, the suspects reportedly told the wife not to be afraid, saying everything would be resolved once her husband returned. This suggests their actions may not have been solely financially motivated,” the superintendent explained.

 

Detectives are now examining CCTV footage and working to track down the suspects.
