Pattaya Policeman Denies Bribery Allegations As Nangfah Karaoke Bar Staff Flee In Fear

Story by Albert Jack

PATTAYA: -- In what has been a terrible week for the image of Pattaya Police Department events relating to the kidnap and extortion allegations, surrounding the Nangfah Karaoke Bar on Third Road, rumble on.

At 4pm, on the afternoon of July 20, Pattaya One reporters contacted Pol Lt Col Omsin Sookkarnkah, Deputy Superintendent Inquiry at Pattayas Police Station, to follow up the story and were told that officers were still gathering information to be sent to the Office of Public Sector Anti-Corruption Commission (PACC).

At the present time the officer at the center of the allegations, Pol Lt Col Narawuth Karamhito, has failed to answer the allegations. Pol Lt Col Omsin said he has been ordered to be strict in treating both parties fairly.

Meanwhile the bars owner, Ms. Paranisa has now back-tracked on her earlier statement that she was offered 500,000 baht, by senior police officials, to withdraw her statement. She now says that the man on the telephone told her he was acting on behalf of Pol Lt Col Narawuth but she did not hear from him personally and cannot be sure the offer was genuine.

Reverse gear engaged, how convenient.

Ms. Paranisa seems to have scuttled sideways like a sand crab. Sounds like the offer has been increased.

No doubt the Police Chief could sort this misunderstanding out without the need to tie up the already-overworked Office of Public Sector Anti-Corruption Commission.

He can simply telephone both Pol Lt Col Narawuth Karamhito and Khun Paranisa Chaiyanapanichkul to invite them in for some cordial R&R (remediation and reparation).

After all, it appears that he now has both their telephone numbers (http://news.thaivisa.com/pattaya/bar-owner-gets-extorted-by-cop-calls-police-chief-to-intervene/148887/).

Relax chaps it was just a big misunderstanding and the inquiry will be closed.............

Police asked her to change her earlier statement and the 500k will definitely be hers in cash.end of story.

Perhaps the offer has been reduced to 10 baht, or one bullet?

Pathetic, is all I can come up with now.

What else could you expect? Police investigating Police, Lt Col being a spokesman for another Lt Col and the "sen Yai" saying nothing! A storm in a teacup comes to mind, it's a bit like charging a policeman with murder in America!
