Thai properties at risk as Chinese buyers go cold amid abduction, trafficking news

Quick Summary:

Beijing resident Evelyn Lin paid US$274,000 for a flat in Bangkok in 2018, hoping to use the property as her home when she spends holidays in the Thai capital.

Earlier this month, Chinese actor Wang Xing was rescued from a so-called scam farm in Myawaddy in Myanmar, according to media reports.

However, the recent spate of kidnappings of mainland Chinese and the trafficking of Hong Kong residents to scam farms in nearby countries are keeping her away from Southeast Asia's most popular tourist destination.
