Pattaya’s police chief has ordered a full investigation after a group of Kuwaiti tourists alleged they were extorted by officers during traffic stops. The tourists claim they were pulled over multiple times and forced to pay cash fines in isolated locations, receiving only unofficial receipts.
Three police officers have been temporarily transferred from their duties while the probe is conducted. The chief stated that any wrongdoing will be met with severe disciplinary action. The case has drawn attention from Kuwait’s embassy.
Local tourism operators are watching closely, as Pattaya heavily depends on Middle Eastern visitors. The investigation aims to restore confidence in the city’s law enforcement.
