A local motorcycle taxi driver told the officials that the gang might have forced the young woman to serve as a “receptionist taking care of Thai and foreign gamblers”. The operation officials and the kamnan staked out the casino from early Sunday evening until they were allowed to see the victim at 11pm. The sister last saw the victim at Suvarnabhumi Airport at 4am on April 20 to see her off to study in Canada. Having assumed that the young woman had arrived as planned, she was shocked to learn two weeks later that her sister was instead at a Poi Pet casino and in huge debt. A friend of the victim told her about a chat message in which the student said she was going to see a Korean man.
