CHIANG RAI: In the Shan state of Myanmar, a lady from Udon Thani was rescued by Thai and Myanmar authorities after being the victim of human trafficking.
The 29-year-old lady, who went by the name Nam, was tricked by Chinese agents to offer sexual services to its call center staff in the position.
After the sufferer requested assistance through a voter writer’s Facebook page called Ninja Today, the situation was brought to the attention of Chiang Rai law, immigration authorities and the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security.
On August 31, the authorities were able to return the girl to Thailand after speaking with their counterparts in Myanmar, according to Pol Maj Gen Suphanat Charoen-ruengsakul, division 5 chief of the Immigration Bureau.
Nam revealed to the media yesterday that she had previously worked as a restaurant concierge in Bangkok.
She was contacted by a TikTok user in May who offered to work in” customer relations” at an office in Shan state in exchange for 900 Chinese yuan per day( roughly 4, 380 baht ), with 450 of those sums to be subtracted for expenses.
She initially declined the offer but eventually agreed after they bothered her. With the help of a nearby criminal, Nam traveled north to Chiang Rai in June and crossed the Mae Sai district’s natural frontier.
Once in Myanmar, the girl was led to a two-story structure that was encircled by coiled wire. She was made to sign a Chinese-written contract that would connect her for six weeks.
She claimed that instead of working as a waiter, she was compelled to have sex with adult call center gang employees. Most of them were Chinese immigrants who, like her, had been tricked into participating in the procedure.
She claimed that after refusing to have sex, she was handcuffed, hit in the back, waterboarded, and starved for some days while being tortured with electrical shocks. She claimed that additional people were also brought to the location for sex.
Nam cautioned Thais against accepting what appeared to be high-paying career presents abroad.
According to the police, some traffickers look for potential victims on social media and mobile apps.
