Bangkok police shut illegal beauty clinic attracting foreign clients

[webfact]

 

In a decisive move against illegal medical practices in Thailand, police have shut down an illicit beauty clinic operating without authorisation in the Ekamai region of Bangkok. The unapproved facility, CCoco Beauty Clinic, was found operating on Thursday and immediately closed based on reports from the Department of Health Service Support.

 

The entity of the clinic was discovered to be shielded by a group of Chinese business people, as stated by Pol. Maj. Gen Anan Nanasombat, the chief of the Consumer Protection Police Division (CPPD).

 

Remarkably, the establishment had been providing services for a period of nine months and was one of a network of at least 15 CCoco branches found in counties like China, the UK, Australia, and Japan.

 

It became apparent that the clinic had been mostly targeting foreign clientele, advertising its services through influencer reviews, according to Anan’s statement.

Much prefer the word shut to the current fad of using shuttered.

 

Shutters are things to protect windows or a part of a film camera.

Even when I clicked the headline, I knew it was going to be a Chinese-linked business.
