Wait for the picture where they smile and wai each other.  

Pim has, understandably, gone into hiding!

Is there an ATM outside the Police Station?  Wondering how the wife came up with 50,000 baht cash. Still had 2K for the cop taxi too.

Google translate, part of article in Naew Na.

 

The latest progress was on May 4, 2020. Pol. Maj. Sumet Hanwisai, Chief Investigation Officer. Pattaya police said that from the said case, Pol.Col. Pol.Col. Prachabunjong, Ph.D., Police in Chonburi Province ordered Col. Khemmarin Phisamai, Police General Manager, Pattaya City Police Appoint a committee to investigate the said facts. By calling him the head of a thorough investigation from both the injured party And police officers Including the insurance claimant with claims

Today, all foreigners arrested on that day have been called to provide details. Including foreign wives singing in the media For a thorough interrogation Including investigating the insurance insurer who made matters for foreigners Which requesting time within 2 days, will summarize the facts In order to reveal to society how it is If anyone is found guilty, regardless of whether they are police officers, they will definitely be prosecuted in accordance with legal procedures.

 

Errors possible, after all, its google translate.

 

Police investigate fellow police officers.

I'll go with Rooster's translation.

Oops, this was supposed to be a quiet extortion....not to make the press and attract public input and scrutiny. 

 

Okay lets just unwind the whole thing....no money changes hands, and make the Frenchman sing the Thai national anthem (and teach him if you have to), bump elbows and go home and ride out this inconvenient difficult time for everyone.

It sounds positive, but let's wait two days and see what the conclusion is. 

Let the police do their job.
In hindsight, the truth will emerge.
Thailand wants tourists if it is true. No tourists will come there.
There is no good advertising for Pattaya.

Yes ATM strategically located 10 steps from the entrance.

At the end of the investigation, his passport and 2,000 baht will be returned with many wais given for the inconvenience.

 

There will never ever be mention of 50,000 baht again.

I wouldn't be surprised either.

I wish that would happen, but you know... It was a bond payment to a 3rd party and no receipt was given (as I recall).
