Pattaya Police Officers Reassigned During Tourist Fine Investigation

Three Pattaya police officers have been temporarily moved to administrative duties after Kuwaiti tourists questioned the authenticity of receipts issued for traffic fines. The visitors admitted committing traffic offences but said they were told to pay cash and later discovered that the receipts did not come from Pattaya City Police Station. Acting police chief Kosala Ngamphong has appointed a committee to examine the complaints and collect evidence. The named officers will remain at the city police operations centre while the inquiry is conducted. Authorities said disciplinary and legal action will follow if misconduct is confirmed.
