Chinese actor Wong Jing has been found in Thailand, but has not been able to return to China.

According to Yangcheng Evening News, on January 5, actor Wong Jing's girlfriend posted on social media saying he had lost contact with friends and family.

Before that, the actor received an invitation to act in a movie from a man named Nhan Thap Luc, who claimed to be an employee of GMM Company (Thailand). After successfully auditioning, Vuong Tinh was sponsored a plane ticket to Thailand to join the crew.

As soon as he got off the plane, Vuong Tinh was arranged to board a car to attend the opening ceremony and go to the hotel to rest. However, the car's location was abnormal and contact was lost at the Thailand - Myanmar border around noon on January 3 (Beijing time).

The post immediately caused a stir on social media. By the evening of January 7, Thai police in Tak province confirmed that they had found Wong Jing. The actor was found bald in Myanmar, and the incident is under investigation.

According to information revealed by Vuong Tinh, when he arrived at the Thai-Myanmar border, someone picked up the actor by boat to cross the border. At this time, he realized he was being tricked but did not dare to resist.

The actor said he was locked up in a building with 50 other Chinese people. Because he is a celebrity, Wong Jing was lucky to be saved.

According to Sohu, Vuong Tinh is currently not allowed to have visitors or leave Thailand. After being confirmed as a victim of human trafficking, he will be protected and arranged to be repatriated through relevant procedures of the Thai Immigration Department.

The actor's family will contact him to pick him up in China. However, if there is any criminal activity involved, legal proceedings will continue.

Thai police said that Wang Jing entered the country to visit relatives, not to work, so further investigation is needed. People who come to work in Thailand need a work visa, but Wang Jing used a free tourist visa, so this is considered illegal.

Vuong Tinh is a little-known actor who has played small roles in the films "The Rose Story", "The Fox Spirit: The Red Moon", "Psychiatrist", "The Crime of the Prisoner"... At first, when he received the invitation to go to Thailand, the actor said he had doubts, but because he wanted to seize the opportunity, he decided to risk it and agreed.
