A plea for help has emerged from a Thai victim ensnared by a Chinese trafficking gang, lured to work on a stock trading website in Poipet. After attempting to escape, he was caught and tortured with electric shocks. Many Thais have been similarly deceived.
A reporter was contacted for assistance by a human trafficking victim hiding from a grey Chinese mafia gang in the crime-infested city of Kandal, on the Cambodia-Vietnam border. The victim, a Thai man named Boon (a pseudonym) from Ban Mi District, Lopburi Province, shared his harrowing experience.
Boon described his ordeal over the phone, stating that he was still in hiding from the mafia that had tricked him into working in Cambodia. He was lured to work in Poipet in March 2024 with promises of a job related to stock trading.
