Police claimed that three Foreign citizens who were apprehended in Kalasin had been duped into working in Myanmar. According to Pol Lt Gen Pakphumpipat, their course had passed through Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand.

Since the operators learned that police were looking into them, the trafficking of call center employees has moved to routes that do not go through Thai place.

Sarana Boonbaichaiyapruck, the chairman of the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission( NBTC ), stated that he was thinking about suing a Move Forward Party( MFP ) MP who had been accused of using state funds to oversee his clinic abroad.

The action was taken after Ratchanok Srinok, an MFP MP for Bangkok, accused Dr. Sarana of using NBTC funds to pay for his travels to the United States, where she asserted that the group’s chairman— a heart surgeon— runs a medical practice. In addition, & nbsp,

Ms. Ratchanok stated at a legislature conference last week that Dr. Sarana needed to understand whether his frequent trips to the US were for standard or personal business over the past 16 months because the NBTC covered the cost of over 120 days of international trips.

She claimed that without him, the committee was unable to make crucial decisions.

Dr. Sarana vehemently refuted Ms. Ratchanok’s claims on Monday, claiming he doesn’t operate a doctor in Thailand or the US.

The NBTC president claimed that between 1984 and 1993, he held a medical license in the US, but that license has since expired.

He explained that he had been a medical instructor at Mahidol University prior to being chosen as the NBTC’s chair until the time of his impending retreat. & nbsp,

He claimed that he would not have been able to establish a process abroad under state law. In addition, & nbsp,

Dr. Sarana stated that he was seriously considering filing a lawsuit against Ms. Ratchanok for” twisted knowledge.”

He declared,” I think this is politically motivated. & nbsp,

Last year, Pakamon Noon-anant, another MFP MP, attacked the NBTC’s resources in parliament. She questioned why, given that it receives more than 40 billion ringgit annually from programme costs, the NBTC was given 6.2 % of state money this year.

28.6 million of the 6.2 billion ringgit set aside for NBTC are intended to pay for the costs of its seven directors. & nbsp,

She insisted that the NBTC disclose the specifics of its commissioners’ international travels.
