Ng Meixi was 17 (right) when her best friend, nicknamed Da, (left) told her that she would soon be sold off as a bride.
The 16-year-old Thai teenager was sold for 40,000 baht (RM4,000) to the 19-year-old son of a farmer as her family needed the dowry to survive.
Meixi, now 23, who has been volunteering in Chiangrai with her family for the last 10 years, had made friends with Da during her volunteer trips.
