A Chinese man mistakenly transferred 45,800 baht into a Thai woman's bank account and, after she refused to return the funds, police arrested her. On October 30, 2026, Police Lieutenant Colonel Thawatchai Thipwong, Superintendent of Phet Kasem Police Station, and Police Senior Sergeant Major Yutthapong Plongkhong jointly apprehended Ms. Phimaphorn (surname withheld), age 47, on a Bang Bon District Court arrest warrant dated October 19, 2026, for the offense of "misappropriation of property." The arrest took place in Chedi Hak Subdistrict, Mueang District, Ratchaburi Province.
The incident originated on February 3 of this year when Mr. Ruirong Huang, a Chinese national, transferred 45,800 baht via a banking app to an account belonging to Mr. Mingjie Xu. The transfer went to the wrong destination, landing in Ms. Phimaphorn's account instead. Mr. Huang filed a police report to document the error and requested the bank contact the recipient's bank to recover the money.
The bank later informed Mr. Huang that it had contacted the account holder, who denied the transaction. The bank advised Mr. Huang to contact police to obtain an official inquiry letter. After police were unable to reach Ms. Phimaphorn, Mr. Huang filed a formal complaint to pursue legal action, leading to her arrest.
During questioning, Ms. Phimaphorn stated she had not used the account for a long time and was unaware money had been deposited. Investigators sent a summons to her registered address, but she no longer resided there. She has been handed over to Phet Kasem Police Station investigators for further legal proceedings.
