28: "Angie" Chong Sum Yee: Mae Sai, Thailand

The Last Trip

Chong Sum Yee, known to everyone as Angie, was 22 years old when she left home on a solo trip from Malaysia to Thailand on May 29, 2023.
It was her first time traveling abroad alone, and she didn't inform anyone about her plans. Her family only discovered she was gone through a Facebook post.
What happens next has more twists and turns than most Hollywood movies, and Angie has not been seen in person since.
Listen as we dive into Thailand, the case of Angie Chong, and how to stay alive on vacation.
