A chinese woman, 29, dramatically escaped a moving car belonging to alleged kidnappers in Thailand's Kamphaeng Phet province on the night of 23/8, according to video released by Thai PBS on 26/8. Her desperate plea for help to police officers at a checkpoint led to the swift arrest of four suspects and an ongoing investigation into a human trafficking ring.
Footage shows the vehicle still in motion when the back door suddenly opened. A man sitting beside the woman appeared to struggle with her before pushing her onto the road. Despite falling, the woman, whose hands were still bound with zip ties, quickly scrambled to the sidewalk, seemingly seeking assistance.

In her statement to Thai police, she recounted using all her strength to open the door and jump from the car. She then sought refuge at a nearby salon, where residents and police helped her get to a hospital. Following the incident, Kamphaeng Phet police immediately pursued the black Nissan Teana, apprehending the four suspects. The case is now being investigated as human trafficking, as the suspects allegedly coordinated to lure the woman to Thailand with the intent of moving her across a neighboring border.
The woman explained that she was en route to Singapore for her master's degree when a Chinese acquaintance convinced her to visit Thailand. Upon arriving in Bangkok, she booked a car through an individual she believed to be a tour guide, having only communicated with this person by phone. It was only when three unfamiliar men entered the vehicle that she realized she had been deceived. She attempted to resist, but the suspects confiscated her phone and bound her hands with zip ties.

The Chinese Embassy in Thailand confirmed on 25/8 that the citizen had been provided accommodation and was cooperating with Thai police in the human trafficking investigation. Authorities are continuing their search for the individual who initially lured the victim to Thailand. The incident has caused public concern, drawing comparisons to the case of Chinese actor Wang Xing, who was reportedly lured from Thailand to Mae Sot and forced to work for an online scam operation in Myanmar. Wang Xing was later rescued by Thai police in Myanmar.
