Bangkok: A Chinese national has been apprehended in Thailand for utilizing forged identification to conduct business activities, with assets amounting to 600 million baht. "Big Ran" spearheaded a press conference revealing that the individual had been evading criminal charges in Thailand since 2013.
According to Thai News Agency, Pol. Gen. Samran Nuanma, the Deputy National Police Chief, announced the dismantling of a Chinese-funded network. The father, who is sought by Chinese authorities for corruption linked to government projects, had been residing in Thailand under a Myanmar passport. He was able to acquire land and set up a company producing motorcycle inner tubes, tires, and related equipment, all valued at 600 million baht, in the Om Noi Subdistrict of Krathum Baen District, Samut Sakhon Province.
The man's son entered Thailand in 2021 and managed to obtain a forged Thai national ID card using the identity of a non-registered Thai citizen. This fraudulent act was facilitated on July 7, 2023, with the aid of a district official who was apprehended on January 22, 2026. Authorities are actively working to dismantle the network involved in these illegal activities.
