Crime Beauty Clinic Accused of Scamming Customer out of Over 1.4 Million Baht

A woman has come forward to accuse a beauty clinic, located inside a prominent shopping centre in Udon Thani, of using deceptive sales tactics that led to financial losses of over 1.4 million baht. The complaint also raises serious concerns over the clinic’s medical practices, including unlicensed personnel performing cosmetic procedures. The matter was formally raised on 15 July, at Udon Thani International Airport, where Ms Thanakrit Chitareerat, Secretary to the Minister of Public Health, was attending a meeting and received a letter of complaint from two female victims, accompanied by well-known lawyer Kritsada Lohitdee, also known as “Lawyer Nobita.” The complaint demanded an urgent investigation into the clinic’s operations. According to the allegations, the clinic conducted aggressive promotional campaigns, encouraging women to purchase costly beauty treatment packages. Victims reported being misled about the qualifications of those administering treatments, with some procedures allegedly performed by unlicensed staff. Several customers suffered adverse reactions, including severe rashes after injections of unknown substances. On the same day at 09:30, Lawyer Nobita accompanied six additional victims to file formal charges at Mueang Udon Thani Police Station. Initial statements were taken by Pol Lt Col Phakphum Kaewsuanjik, the investigating officer. Later, the group proceeded to the Udon Thani Provincial Public Health Office (PHO) to submit further complaints under the Public Health Act. By 10:30, a joint inspection team led by specialist pharmacist Mr Manot Nakawajana from the PHO, and local police officers, visited the clinic, located on the third floor of the shopping mall. A woman claiming to be the branch manager allowed officials to examine treatment rooms, medical tools, pharmaceutical products and dietary supplements. Lawyer Nobita stated that multiple clients had received treatments from individuals claiming to be doctors, though their qualifications were unclear. Some cases involved ordinary staff performing injections or facial procedures. Clients said the clinic often rotated its staff, adding to the confusion about whether licensed professionals were involved at all. One of the victims, Ms “Aimee”, aged 50, recounted her experience. On 23 November 2024, she was shopping when she was approached by a clinic promoter offering discounted beauty services. She initially paid 10,000 baht for a facial package and was later convinced to purchase multiple additional packages worth hundreds of thousands of baht. In total, she spent 1.4 million baht. Aimee said that during a treatment session, she was offered a herbal drink and subsequently felt drowsy. While in this vulnerable state, staff took her credit card and returned it with a document for her to sign, claiming she had agreed to purchase yet another package. “I didn’t want to buy it. I just wanted to go home,” she said. “But they said I had already agreed.” She also revealed that prices were significantly inflated, facial treatments costing nearly 5,000 baht, while similar services elsewhere cost just a few hundred. Attempts to contact the clinic for a refund were unsuccessful. Other victims reported similar experiences, with some being told bluntly to “take legal action” if they wanted their money back. The PHO’s preliminary findings revealed that the clinic’s displayed operating licence did not match its registered name. Questions remain over the credentials of supervising doctors, the legality of injected substances and the use of financial “mule” accounts to process payments through at least four companies, with a total cash flow exceeding 50 million baht despite being open for less than a year. Authorities are now expanding the investigation, with suspicions that the clinic is part of a larger network operating in Bangkok and other provinces, allegedly using celebrity endorsements to attract victims. The Public Health Office has vowed to take legal action under the Public Health Act if violations are confirmed and to explore further criminal charges in coordination with police and consumer protection agencies. Victims are urging regulators to shut down the clinic and prevent further exploitation. “I just want my money back and for this to stop,” Aimee said. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-07-16 -

Crime Four Police Officers Injured in Bomb Attack in Narathiwat
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. Four Thai police officers were injured in a roadside bomb attack while supporting a joint security operation in the insurgency-affected district of Chanae in the deep south. The incident occurred at approximately 12:15 on 15 July, in Ban Nam Hom, Village 7, Dusongyo Subdistrict, Chanae District, Narathiwat Province. The officers were part of a special operations unit (MNP 41)assigned to assist the 49th Ranger Task Force (Rangers Regiment 49) under the framework of the “Protect the People” mission, running from 13–18 July. According to initial reports, the team from Company 4902 of the Thai Rangers was targeted by insurgents who planted an improvised explosive device (IED) along the road. The explosion injured four members of the special operations police unit: • Police Lieutenant Thawaooma Yeeta – suffered ear trauma and chest tightness • Police Sergeant Ekanan Prathumta – sustained a head wound, along with hearing loss and chest tightness • Police Sergeant Ismaae Yeeta – reported hearing issues and tightness in the chest • Police Sergeant Pariwat Sukkasem – suffered similar ear and chest injuries All four officers were promptly transported to Chanae Hospital for treatment. In response, security forces swiftly sealed off the area to secure the scene. Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) units and forensic teams were deployed to investigate and gather evidence. The attack highlights the ongoing tensions in Thailand’s southern border provinces, where separatist violence has persisted for decades despite ongoing peace efforts. Authorities have not yet identified the perpetrators. The investigation remains ongoing. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-07-16 -
