A Thai man posed as a police officer in order to avoid paying for a massage, claiming that he was conducting an official inspection of the quality of the massage service at the shop in Songkhla. The incident took place at a massage shop in Sadao district on July 27, when the shop owner called police after a customer refused to pay for the service he had received. Unconvinced by the explanation, the shop owner contacted local police. In the footage, he identified himself as “Police General Akkaradate Boonmee Immigration” and denied attempting to avoid payment, insisting he was conducting an inspection of the massage shop. The massage shop owner agreed not to pursue legal action if the man paid the outstanding bill.
