Did anyone else see this from World Travel Watch?

"...a British couple who were falsely accused of shoplifting at a duty-free store in Bangkok’s airport were detained for five days until they paid £8,000 (more than $13,000) in bribes to be allowed to leave. The extortion scam, they alleged, involved tourist police and an interpreter. Their release order acknowledged that there was no evidence against them, and since their ordeal occurred in late April at least one other foreigner, a Danish woman, has been snared by the same interpreter, at a cost of £4,500 (about $7,400)."

Brutal!
