Wang, a relatively unknown actor in China until his disappearance went viral, was reported missing after travelling to the popular tourist destination for a shoot.

“We must manage this situation effectively to prevent any impact on our tourism industry,” Shinawatra was quoted as saying by KhaoSod. However, on Chinese lifestyle platform Xiaohongshu, or"Little Red Book", searching"How do I cancel my Thailand trip?" yielded more than 380,000 posts on Thursday. So far, the location has only one group tour to Thailand that is set to depart before the end of the month, with just a dozen participants."In the short term, this will certainly affect travel confidence," she said.
