Bangkok Post reported yesterday that Wang Xing had left the Bangkok airport in a car sent by the Chinese compatriot, which took him to the border town of Mae Sot. Wang Xing told the police at the meeting that he was picked up by someone at Mae Sot and he crossed the border to Myanmar by boat, Thai PBS reported.

Thai media Khaosod English wrote that Wang Xing said he was forced to train as a scammer and learnt to type fraudulent messages targeting the Chinese people while he was in Myawaddy. He also shared that he was not physically harmed, adding that the red patches seen on his left leg — which sparked concern among netizens that he was injured — are actually a birthmark.
