A 22 year old Promotion Girl who works in Bangkok and was in Pattaya on holiday with her foreign boyfriend reported allegations of an unlawful detention by Police who accused her of taking drugs.
On Tuesday Night Khun Deetipnapar made her way to the front of Prima Place Apartments in Soi Bongkot in South Pattaya where she arranged to meet her Boyfriend who was returning from a night at a local Muay Thai Boxing Stadium. As she waited a pick-up with red emergency lights on the roof which was white and brown in color resembling a Police Vehicle pulled up beside her and 5 men, all in plain clothes, surrounded her and accused her of being a drug user.
Khun Deetipnapar asked to see Police ID cards but all that was produced was a Silver Police Detective Badge. The men demanded she accompany them to the Police Station to be urine tested. Moments later another pick-up full of men in handcuffs arrived. She was forced to accompany the men but instead of being taken to the Police Station she was taken to a forest area behind a Gymnasium in South Pattaya where she was told to urinate into a plastic container which would then be tested for drugs.
The test came back negative and the “Police” decided to leave her in the remote area. She was unfamiliar with the location and was understandably concerned for her safety but her boyfriend was able to locate her after some time and the next day the pair decided to report the incident at Pattaya Police Station.
Police Investigators are now looking into the incident but are not prepared to comment any further until the perpetrators are found.
