PATTAYA: -- Today is the final day for the police involved in the alleged extortion at Nag Fah karaoke to present themselves.

If the six involved do not show up at Pattaya Police station today an arrest warrant will be issued, reported Thairath.

So far reporters who have descended on the resort have just seen tumbleweed - ringleader Narawut Karamhito and his 5 associates were invited to come in to the station soon after the incident last week but have failed to show.

The case caused a sensation when the cops - from a different force - allegedly tried to extort money from the female owner of the Nang Fah in central Pattaya. But she knew the commissioner of police and phoned him.

Cops refused to believe he was on the line and later pooh-poohed the idea that their Chonburi boss was also in contact.

The men fled empty handed when the penny finally dropped.

Apichai Kroppet of the Pattaya police said that if the six men failed to turn up today an arrest warrant will be issued by the court.

Reporters understand that the whereabouts of Narawut - better known as Sergeant Kato - and his associates are known but they refuse to present themselves formally.

I feel an extension will be forthcoming....

When (and if) they finally give their story the BS will be knee deep.

very informative foto

What the hell is that good for?

Next time just show the blurred part - same amount of information

Probably already on an extended holiday abroad.

Hear Dubai in nice at any time of the year.

gotta hand it to this woman ......I hope the police in charge now, follow this situation thru intently

Too late, already done a runner. Why were they not placed behind bars initially?

D-day more inactive posts going to be filled.

When they finally show up, or are arrested, the smell in the room will be unbearable, with all the bul...t flying about

" pooh-poohed the idea"

" pooh-poohed the idea"

Sounds like a Black Adder 4 quote!

Almost as funny too.

I am surprised that they didn't show up, this is Thailand, they are cops and it is almost unknown for any "real" punishment to be imposed on them. Staying away just draws more attention to the situation.

Show up and request bail. That should give them 6-10 years to decide where they want to live

And now D-Day+1

What happened???

And now D-Day+1

What happened???

How long have you lived here ?

I was being cynical ...I think many of us will suspect that they failed to turn up, have done a runner, given give another x days to turn themselves in and the paper work has been lost in the police chiefs in-trays.

Could all bar owners have that prized telephone number? Bars (particularly owned/managed/associated with farangs) are being extorted at an alarming rate. As a result of being unable to make enough profit to cover the 24,000 monthly screw, many are for sale/closing down. Killing the goose that laid the golden egg. All areas should be fitted with cameras/microphones and the police conversations shown on YouTube around the world.

Pattaya Police Farce rocks.

Give them a bread They are just waiting to see which way the "WIND" is blowing.

Police , Bribery , Tea Money, Extortion. Never on the Thai police force.

They are a hard group of working lads that control the foreign population so that Thais

can run amok. I,m going back to reading my comics Nothing happening here !!!!
