In reports by Thai media today, Wang Xing was confirmed to have crossed the border from Thailand to Myawaddy, a town in Myanmar, and the authorities were actively searching for him. From a photo circulating on Weibo and reported by Myanmar's Yangon Khit Thit News Agency, his head had been shaved and there were also red patches seen on his left leg. Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra was said to be working closely with the government and the Chinese embassy to handle the issue carefully to prevent negative impact on tourism, based on a separate report by Bangkok Post today.
