A Taiwanese actress, who was extorted by four policemen in Bangkok in January, said Thursday that she missed Thailand and that she believed there are more good than bad cops in the kingdom.
Six policemen accused of extorting a group of tourists caught with vaping devices have been denied bail while the Bangkok police chief has ordered a crackdown on illegal e-cigarettes that are widely available in the capital.
The national police chief has ordered investigators to find more evidence related to a Taiwanese actress’s complaint that police extorted 27,000 baht from her at a checkpoint in Bangkok's Huai Khwang district earlier this month.
Police have contacted a Taiwanese actress to obtain more information after she was reportedly extorted by police officers for more than 20,000 baht over the New Year period, Royal Thai Police (RTP) spokesman Pol Maj Gen Archayon Kraithong said yesterday.
Bangkok police say they did not extort money from a Taiwanese actress, who they say appeared drunk, but warned her about illegal possession of a vapouriser before letting her go during a New Year checkpoint stop.
