Yet after his release, the suspect, 55-year-old Yongyut “Chai” Tongkam, returned to his hometown in Nakhon Sri Thammarat only to be taken into custody again – this time on three outstanding warrants for his role in similar scams in Chumphon.

 

Yongyut was arrested in a raid at a small resort on the old airport road (Route 4031) in Thepkrasattri Subdistrict on Tuesday (Dec 12) after his part in duping a Phuket woman to stump up B3.1 million in a gambling con.

 

Also arrested in the raid for their roles in carrying out the scam on Tuesday were Sujira Yodying, 55, from Pitsanulok, and Saeree Sangputtong, 49, from Chumphon.
