On January 3, 2025, Wang Xing (stage name "Xingxing"), a Chinese actor, was deceived into a scam center in Myanmar by a fraud group under the pretext of "going to Thailand for filming work". After Wang Xing lost contact, his girlfriend Jiajia posted a message for help through social media and actively contacted relevant authorities. This incident attracted the attention of the Chinese film industry. Many actors posted about this matter, prompting the Chinese Embassy in Thailand, the Chinese Consulate General in Chiang Mai and the Thai police to intervene in the investigation and search and rescue.
Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra confirmed in an interview with the media at the Prime Minister's Office in Bangkok at 11:40 a.m. on January 7 that Wang Xing, who had lost contact at the Thai-Myanmar border, had been found.
