The case, overseen by Col Angkul Klaiklueng of the Royal Thai Police Consumer Protection Division in Bangkok, aims to bring a a slew of charges against the developer, The Nine Property (Patong) Co, including fraud, developing land without the required permits, failure to obtain a building permit, and contravention of the Consumer Protection Act.
