Instagram “Hi‑So” Conman Accused of Raping At Least 4 Women in Bangkok

A Thai man posing as a wealthy “high society” influencer on Instagram is accused of sexually assaulting at least four women in Bangkok. Two victims — a 19‑year‑old university student and a 25‑year‑old employee — came forward after being lured by his messages and offers. He used a lifestyle façade of luxury posts and social images to build trust. In one case, he picked up the student from a club and allegedly took her down a dark street rather than to her home. The second victim alleged she accepted his ride home from Thong Lo area and was instead led into another location. Non‑profit advocates say more victims are emerging and that the suspect targeted women via social media, then isolated them. Police and prosecutors are investigating the claims, and specialists in gender‑based violence note the case highlights how digital “influencers” can exploit trust and image to commit crimes. The story underscores the need for awareness by young people of the risks behind social‑media attachments and offers.
