The action follows the recent high-profile case of a Chinese actor allegedly kidnapped from Thailand and forced to work at a scam centre in Myanmar. News of the apparent abduction has left Chinese travellers wary about travelling to Thailand, a popular holiday destination for Chinese tourists. One security expert says that while Thailand overall remains a safe tourist destination, people should avoid travel to the country’s border areas.
