After escaping on October 22 last year while being taken to a doctor in Nakhon Si Thammarat for medical care, Chaowalit Thongduang, alias” Sia Paeng Nanod,” about seven months later, he was eventually apprehended by authorities in a shelter in Indonesia.
The large- profile criminal was on Thursday night  , detained in Bali while on holiday it. When flying to the beach island, he had a false Indonesian ID card.
If Chaowalit had not resumed selling drugs while hiding in Indonesia, he might have been entirely off the radar of Thai police and could have enjoyed his liberty for a little longer.
According to the police research, by late- May, Chaowalit had sealed a 2- million- bass drug deal with a regional drug gang while in Medan. The drug dealer owed him 2 million ringgit and had given up a member, just identified as Chawala, as collateral until the group found sufficient funds to pay the loan.
Two Thai translators and the Indonesian prisoner were taken into custody in a home in the tambon Tha Khae area of Narathiwat. When the three were arrived in the southeastern province and were driven to the healthy house by a female police agent attached to the Provincial Police Region 9, who is alleged to have been close to Chaowalit.
In a staged video tape he sent to his younger girl in Indonesia, hoping she would accept the 2 million baht payment, Mr. Chawala fabricated a version of events that depicted him being kidnapped for ransom and tortured in a later day.
The false payment plot, however, turned out to be false when the girl gave Chaowalit just 800,000 baht and informed Indonesian police that her brother was being tortured and held hostage in Thailand. She also gave the police the address of the healthy home.
The Indonesian authorities safely rescued Mr. Chawala on May 14 by working with their Thai peers through the Indonesian ambassador in Thailand. The Thai police finally discovered that the wife’s nephew, who had been searching for him since he fled, belonged to them.
The Thai and Indonesian authorities then learned that Chaowalit had a role in the international medication trade, which helped them eventually find him whereabouts in Medan. However, the fugitive had already left for a holiday in Bali by the time the Indian police arrived to find him in Medan.
Meanwhile, authorities in Thailand were alerted last month when a woman was allegedly having an extramarital affair with a woman in Medan made regular visits there, leading to the deployment of a police team to Indonesia on May 20.
The Thai authorities followed the girl to a home in Medan where they met an Indian security guard who confirmed the girl had been there. They then broke up with Chaowalit, who allegedly went to Bali with another Indonesian girl who is a native of the country.
According to legend, the Thai girl and Chaowalit had a heated argument after Chaowalit discovered Chaowalit’s marriage. However, she was n’t the girl that had accompanied Chaowalit as previously thought. After breaking up with Chaowalit, who had moved to Bali with a new girl, on May 22, she broke up with her in a hospital where she was being treated.
In Surat Thani, Pol Sen Sgt. Maj. Phloenphit Chanthet, a female police officer affiliated with Provincial Police Region 9, was detained. She had previously been identified by Chaowalit’s near connect as an friend in the false payment.  ,
According to the Royal Thai Police (RTP), Chaowalit’s abduction may occur within the next day or two after his arrest on Thursday.
Interpol is facilitating the discourse between the two organizations, according to PolGen Kitrat Phanphet, acting federal police chief, who yesterday stated that the RTP is coordinating with the Indonesian authorities.
