Ranong Petrol Station Worker Helps Woman Flee Abusive Ex

A Thai woman escaped an alleged abduction and assault by her ex-boyfriend after seeking help at a petrol station in Ranong. The 34-year-old woman told police she had been threatened, forced to bring 5,000 baht, and made to drive south after her former partner allegedly used a firearm to intimidate her. She said the man assaulted her at a resort in Ratchaburi before continuing the journey towards Phuket. The woman later managed to flee after he handed her the car keys near a temple in Ranong, driving straight to a petrol station to call for help. Police contacted her family for support while officers launched a search for the suspect, who was reportedly seen boarding a coach bound for Phuket.
