Ms Nguyen Sinh Nga (Vietnamese)
A Chinese national Sai Cua whom I know
online contacted me to work in the marketing field in Thailand and to negotiate
salary in person. I arrived in Bangkok by flight from Noi Bar Airport in
Vietnam on 8 November 2024. A Thai national took me to Mae Sot from Bangkok
airport. Then, we passed a creek by boat. There, we arrived at Metta Lin
Myaing’s 100-acre site in Myawady by car. I worked in the marketing section
with a computer at a Chinese man-owned Dang Chu company and searched for the
customers. I got 25,500 Thai baht per month.
Mr Qiau Ke Ji (Chinese Taipei)
I completed my high school education. I
worked in telecom fraud in the past. Then, I was contacted to work in illegal
gold smuggling online in Bangkok at 50,000 Thai baht. I left for Bangkok from
Tai Zhong Airport on 23 March 2024. I spent a night at a hotel in Bangkok and
proceeded to Mae Sot in a taxi driven by a Thai national. On arrival in Mae
Sot, I crossed the river by boat and arrived at Metta Lin Myaing’s 100-acre
site in Myawady. I worked in telecom fraud at Chinese man Zhong Guo’s Huan Ya
company. I got 12,500 Thai baht a month.
Ms Shi Rong Min (Chinese)
I have a university-level education. A
Chinese national persuaded me via WeChat to work in illegal gold smuggling in
Thailand at a high salary. So, I came to Bangkok by flight from Shai Bi Sian on
12 September 2024. On arrival at Bangkok, a Thai national took me to Mae Sot.
There, I crossed a river by boat to Myanmar. I worked in telecom fraud at
Chinese man Zhong Guo’s Huan Ya company in Metta Lin Myaing 100- acre site in
Myawady. I haven’t received my salary. — MNA/ KTZH
