On Wednesday, Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin announced that the Royal Thai Police are looking into a social media post that featured filmed footage of an apparently amusing Chinese tourists donning an authentic Thai police even with its plate, rank insignia, and decorations.
When asked to comment on the clip, Mr. Srettha responded,” That is n’t right, and [the national police ] needs to do something about it.”
The top went on to say that he had also given Sudawan Wangsupakitkosol, the minister of tourism and sports, instructions to step up efforts to stop fraudulent news that is spread electronically and harms Thailand’s good reputation and the tourism sector.
An investigation is being conducted, according to Pol Maj Gen Somporn Sajjapoj, the Police Education Bureau’s assistant commander and spokesperson.
The bureau’s Pol Captain Jumroon Chaisri gave the traveler his even to use. According to Pol Maj Gen Somporn, the tourist only wanted to pose for a video and insisted he did n’t get anything in return.
Pol Maj Gen Somporn also insisted that he was n’t aware the tourist had posted the video on social media until it had generated controversy.
According to Pol Maj Gen Somporn, an investigation into the police manager’s justification may take 15 to 30 times.
In the meantime, Pol Capt. Jumroon claimed to have encountered two Chinese visitors at a firing range behind the Narcotics Suppression Bureau’s office. He offered to drive them to the main road, which is one kilometer away, so they could call an ambulance.
One of the tourists asked to wear his dress to take pictures as a memento of their face while he was in his car.
Pol Capt. Jumroon claimed he accepted the deal without realizing the images may afterward be made public online. He claimed that, contrary to what some have claimed, he acted out of kindness toward the visitors.
