Chinese actor Wang Xing was found in Myanmar after being abducted in Thailand, raising concerns about crime syndicates and tourism.

Thai police say a Chinese actor who disappeared and was found near the border of Myanmar in an area where online scam networks operate was a victim of human trafficking.

A Chinese actor has been found after mysteriously vanishing without a trace yesterday on the Thai-Myanmar border in a real-life plot twist.

A Chinese actor who went missing near Thailand’s border with Myanmar has been found, Thai authorities said, as they sought to contain the fallout of the incident on the nation’s vital tourism industry.

The Chinese Consulate General in Chiang Mai, Thailand told the Global Times on Tuesday evening that Tak Immigration met with the Chinese actor Wang Xing who had gone missing at the Thailand-Myanmar border and is currently conducting relevant inquiries in accordance with regulations.

Earlier on Tuesday, Thailand's Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra confirmed that Wang was found and sent to the border in Mae Sot, Thailand. Thai authorities have pledged to ensure his safe return, as reported by Thairath News.

Thai media reported that Wang Xing was deceived into coming to Thailand for an acting project, but upon arrival, was taken to the Mae Sot district in northwest Thailand, which borders the Myanmar city of Myawaddy, allegedly known as a centre for scam compounds.
