BANGKOK: Thai and Myanmar authorities have found no trace of Chinese model Yang Zeqi, whose last known location, as sent to his friends on Dec 21, was in Mae Sot district in Tak province, on the border with Myanmar.
Zeqi 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. On Dec 21, Zeqi sent a message to his friends that he was feeling depressed, and then made a video call to his mother on Dec 29.
Natthakorn said that the Thai authorities have put up large signs near the Tak border to warn people against gangs scamming victims to work in the neighbouring country.
