BANGKOK — A Thai woman from Samut Prakan reported being deceived by an Indian man claiming to be a businessman, resulting in sexual relationships and disease transmission.
On September 24, Miss B, age 24, sought help from Mr. Ekapop Luangprasert, advisor to the Minister of Interior and founder of the “Survive – Sai Mai Tong Rot” page. She reported being deceived by an Indian man who claimed to be an Arab businessman looking for true love but instead transmitted a sexually transmitted disease to her.
She said she works as a nail art instructor. In August, an Indian man drove by her workplace. He returned, saying he wanted to get his nails done. She initially refused, saying she was fully booked, but he persisted until she agreed.
He then asked for her number to stay in contact, frequently reaching out to ask about her personal information and inviting her out. She eventually agreed to talk and date him.
After about a month of talking, on September 11, the man invited her out for dinner. They went drinking at a hotel before having unprotected sex. Afterward, the man blocked all communication with her.
She eventually managed to contact the Indian man’s girlfriend and learned the truth: the Indian man had a history of deceiving both attractive women and LGBTQ men for sexual encounters.
This woman also said that there were already about 100 victims in the areas of Bearing, Samrong, Bang Na, Bangkok, and Samut Prakan province. Additionally, she was contacted by some women who were tricked into oral sex and contracted herpes or had mouth sores.
Based on the information received, Miss B said that she believes the Indian man is deceiving people to find sexual partners and spread infections, though the specific type of infection is unclear.
Her current symptoms include itching and burning in the genital area, as well as difficulty urinating – similar symptoms to those experienced by the man’s girlfriend. However, she hasn’t yet had a blood test or seen a doctor officially.
Mr. Ekapop revealed that he will take the woman to see a doctor for a medical examination to check for infections. He also explained that consensual sexual relations are not legally punishable, which is why the woman had not yet filed a police report.
However, the Sai Mai Tong Rod page team arranged for Miss B to hold a press conference today because they wanted to quickly warn other women about such cases so that they would not fall victim. He advises other women who suspect they’ve been deceived by men with similar behavior to report to the “Sai Mai Tong Rot” page.
