Thai and Myanmar authorities have found no trace of Chinese model Yang Zeqi whose last known location was in Mae Sot district in Tak province, on the border with Myanmar.
Colonel Natthakorn Reuntip, chief of Ratchamanu Task Force in Tak, said on Thursday that he has coordinated with Myanmar authorities in the search for the missing model, but no clues have been found so far.
Yang reportedly took a flight from Beijing Daxing International Airport to Suvarnabhumi Airport on Dec 20 after receiving a message via WeChat that he had passed an audition for a film shoot.
Upon arrival, he took a car from Suvarnabhumi Airport and then transferred to another car provided by the film crew in the Thailand-Myanmar border area.
On Dec 21, Yang sent a message to his friends that he was feeling depressed, and then made a video call to his mother on Dec 29.
Earlier this month, Yang’s father filed a missing person report with national police chief Pol Gen Kitrat Phanphet, fearing that his son may have been abducted across the border, similar to Chinese actor Xingxing, who was rescued earlier this month.
Natthakorn said that Thai authorities have put up large signs near the Tak border to warn people against gangs abducting victims for forced labour in the neighbouring country. — The Nation/ANN
