A search has been initiated for a young Malaysian woman who, according to her mother, has not been in contact since emailing images shot during a trip to the border town of Mae Sai in Chiang Rai province. She is concerned that her daughter is in danger.


The mother’s Facebook statement was posted in both Chinese and English on Friday, accompanied with photos given by her daughter, Angie Chong Sum Yee, 22.


The remark, which was later translated into Thai, as well as the photos, were extensively circulated on social media, including the “Muang Chiang Mai” Facebook page.

The mother stated that her daughter flew alone to Chiang Mai on May 29. Her daughter photographed numerous locations in Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai and forwarded them to her.


The final images she sent her showed her in Mae Sai, Chiang Rai, a border town outside Myanmar’s Tachilek. They included the Mae Sai and Tachilek border checkpoints. She stated that her daughter had not communicated with her since sending the images from Mae Sai.


The mother was concerned that her daughter had crossed the border from Mae Sai to Tachilek and was in danger. At the Tachilek crossing, immigration and tourist police have called Myanmar officials.


They were told to look through security camera footage to determine if the young Malaysian woman had crossed the border to Tachilek, which has numerous huge casinos and business buildings where many Thais and other nationals work.
