webfact Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Man Busted For Impersonating Army ColonelBy Khaosod EnglishNoppadol Chanmueang, 33, has been charged with impersonating a security officer, which carries a maximum penalty of one year in prison.SONGKHLA — A man has been arrested for dressing up as an army colonel to "please his girlfriend." Policemen and soldiers arrived at Lee Garden Plaza Hotel in Hat Yai district yesterday after they received calls from hotel staff that a suspicious-looking army officer was hanging out in the lobby on the hotel's 8th floor. When the soldiers requested the man present his Royal Thai Army ID and identify which regiment he was stationed with, the suspect refused, leading police to arrest him and escort him to a nearby police station.The man then identified himself as Noppadol Chanmueang, 33, a native of Nakhon Si Thammarat province and confessed that he dressed up as an army colonel “to please his girlfriend.”Mr. Noppadol told police he graduated from a university in Bangkok in 2003 and is currently unemployed. He said he bought the army uniform from a shop in the 4th Region Army barrack at the price of 2,000 baht.The suspect added that he changed into the army uniform at a fast food restaurant on the ground floor of the hotel and went to wait for his girlfriend on 8th floor, where he was eventually arrested by the police.Mr. Noppadol is charged with impersonating a security officer, which carries a maximum penalty of one year in prison.It's not uncommon for Thai men to don military or police attire in an attempt to woo women thought to have a fondness for "men in uniforms."Source: http://en.khaosod.co.th/detail.php?newsid=1404887252&typecate=06§ion= -- Khaosod English 2014-07-09 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hidavey Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 What a waste of energy for the truth will always come out in the end. His next step is to get use to jail and hope they let him out early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post smutcakes Posted July 9, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted July 9, 2014 Poor bloke, getting nicked for trying a bit of role play to please his gf. So many Thai men are criticized for their uncaring ways, and when one romeo goes the extra mile to please his other half he ends up on the wrong side of the law. I hope he only got a slapped wrist and told to save it for the bedroom rather than out in public. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nemesis7 Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Looking at the picture it seems he was beaten up for sure...lol Taking off the uniform by two soldiers and buttons are being opened by the MP's too. Only a year jail term for impersonating ?! Come on any one impersonating is a fraud, what if he was planing to take advantage of that girl in anyway by impersonating? What if he was planing to rape?! As per news he was trying to impress his girl friend? How come? His girl friend doesn't know what he does for living? I mean if it was a fantasy they could use any uniform I side bedroom and play any role they want, like army commanding officer and the lady soldier or colonel and the prisoner of war...etc..etc... Funny....they always come up with trying to impress their gf... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orchidlady Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 He shouldn't get jail time-since he's unemployed, give him a job in the army, entry level of course. We know he has aspirations to become a colonel. Won't his girfriend really be impressed then (not). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seastallion Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Let him off...the public humiliation is sufficient punishment. Not at all. Bravo to the police. This is Southern Thailand and has particularly sensitive security concerns. I hope they check out his story because he is a NST native and the hotel is a potential target, and intelligence reportsw have suggested something might go down near the end of Rammadan. Well done BiB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yann55 Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Hum ... My reading of this is the following : 1/ The girl was not his gf as in regular gf but some lady he chatted on a social network, 2/ He told her to meet him at that hotel, probably pretending that he was staying there but did not go as far as booking a room (probably too costly) which is why he was hanging out in the corridor, 3/ that's what got him busted because some hotel staff realized that his behavior was strange (means he's not a good actor, obviously), 4/ He lured the girl into meeting him and I believe that what excited her was not so much the uniform but the prospect of seducing an army big shot, 5/ He must have done it before, and investing 2000 bahts in this uniform was rather cunning, because I bet the girls never asked him for money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
