BANGKOK - A Singaporean who was with a Taiwanese actress who claimed they had been extorted by Thai police said officers told him to cough up money or risk spending two days in jail for his vaping devices.
The case was surfaced on social media by actress Charlene An, who said she had been threatened by Thai police with a criminal charge for having a vaping device or e-cigarette. She paid 27,000 baht before she and her friends could leave. The Singaporean, the actress and a friend then took a Grab taxi to head for the Huai Khwang area, colloquially known as Bangkok’s new Chinatown.
The police told the group that they would be imprisoned for two days unless they made payment, according to Sky. “I was very stressed and wanted to get away quickly. I was afraid of police and imprisonment. So, I gave them the 30,000 baht that I had then, and they took 27,000 baht,” Sky told media. The import and sale of e-cigarettes is banned in Thailand, and the possession of vaping devices is illegal.
