Between one January and nine July twenty twenty-five, Thailand documented one hundred seventy-five thousand four hundred seventy-seven online crime cases, averaging nine hundred nineteen incidents per day, according to the Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau.

The total financial damage from these cases is estimated at fourteen point eight seven billion baht, with only approximately two percent—around two hundred ninety-five point eight million baht—successfully frozen.

The most prevalent scams reported were:

- Online purchase fraud at fifty-six percent
- Money transfer scams at twenty-six percent
- Loan fraud at seven percent
- Other types of deception

Authorities noted that over eighty percent of Thai victims were lured by scam networks operating out of Poipet, Cambodia, rather than minority-controlled areas of Myanmar as previously suspected.

In response, the Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau launched a nationwide crackdown titled “Operation Mule Account Takedown: Hunt for Cambodian Financiers.” This operation involved coordinated raids on nineteen locations across Bangkok, Samut Prakan, and Chonburi, aiming to dismantle mule account operations and trace funding sources.

One major focus of the operation was Kok An, a Cambodian casino magnate and owner of the Crown Casino Resort in Poipet.

Thai authorities raided a residence in Bang Phli district, Samut Prakan, believed to be connected to Kok An.

He is suspected of financing large-scale call centre scams targeting Thai citizens.

Initial seizures from the raids included several luxury vehicles and twenty-seven million baht in frozen assets.

The Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau continues to investigate financial connections to Kok An’s Crown Casino operations, which are suspected of orchestrating online fraud schemes from Poipet.

Investigations remain ongoing as authorities pursue further evidence and trace additional links.
