CHIANG MAI — 7 June 2026, A teenage Chinese student sought assistance from security staff and police in Chiang Mai’s Saraphi district following a violent dispute with her mother
Police were alerted on Sunday morning after the teenager was found near a guardhouse within a housing estate in Chai Sathan subdistrict. Security staff remained with her while authorities coordinated assistance.
Pol. Lt. Thanang Wannasiri, an investigator at Saraphi Police Station, received a report at 07:30 that a Chinese national had left her daughter outside a guardhouse near a school in Chai Sathan subdistrict, Saraphi district.
Information reviewed by this publication indicates the teenager was not a tourist, as initially reported, and had sought assistance from security staff following the family dispute, rather than being abandoned at the location by her mother.
Officers arriving at the scene found a Chinese teenage girl sitting alone outside the guardhouse, visibly distressed. Village staff were providing moral support while police contacted Chiang Mai Tourist Police for assistance.
Tourist police took the woman to the Tourist Police office, where authorities plan to contact her mother to mediate the dispute. Officers said the matter is a family issue and they hope to resolve it through mediation. If no agreement can be reached, the case will be referred to the Chinese Consulate in Chiang Mai.
