Previously, the www.hukumindo.com platform has talk about "Taxi Argo Fraud Mode Could Happen in Bangkok", "Local Inhabitant Scam", you may read also "Bird Food Scam Around Temples In Bangkok" and on this occasion we will discuss about 'Fake Police Scam in Thailand'.

The most disturbing scam that could happen in Thailand involves individuals posing as law enforcement officers. These ‘fake police’ approach tourists under the pretense of random passport checks or drug searches. They then claim to have found a ‘problem’ that can only be resolved by paying a fine on the spot.[1]

Always remember, real Police in Thailand do not conduct random street checks or demand fines on the spot. If you are approached by someone claiming to be a police officer, insist on going to the nearest Police station before proceeding with any questioning or discussion.[2] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.
