A 28-year-old Myanmar national, Ms Nang Mo Syai, accompanied by two female friends, filed a police report at Pattaya City Police Station after allegedly being extorted and assaulted at a local beauty salon.

 

The incident was reported at 01:20 on 24 May, to Police Lieutenant Akaraphong Saenputawong, the duty investigator. One of the victims, Ms Aye Pee, 25, also a Myanmar national, recounted the ordeal in detail.

 

According to Ms Aye, she and her friend Ms Nang Noon Kham, 26, discovered the salon through the popular app TikTok and agreed on a hair treatment service for a total price of 17,000 baht. However, after the service was completed, the salon staff allegedly refused to let the women leave, claiming the payment was insufficient.

 

Shortly after, four men and one woman, all wearing official looking black vests, entered the salon. The men, who claimed to be police officers, were accompanied by a Thai woman who approached one of the victims, forcefully grabbed her shirt, and slapped her across the face. The men then demanded an additional 20,000 baht from the victims and, when that sum was paid, insisted on a further 22,250 baht.

 

Once the money had been paid in full to the satisfaction of the salon owner and the alleged enforcers, the victims were allowed to leave the premises. After regaining their composure, the group consulted one another and decided to report the incident to the police.

 

Police have recorded the incident in the daily log as a formal complaint and have launched an investigation. Officers from Pattaya City Police Station will examine CCTV footage to identify the suspects and determine the facts of the case.

 

Authorities have confirmed that a full investigation is underway and vowed to bring those responsible to justice.
