Police Raid Turns Ugly: Salon Owner Speaks Out
Shockwaves ripple through southern Thailand as Aom, 40, breaks her silence. The massage parlour boss from Prachuap Khiri Khan appears on Channel 3’s “Hone Krasae” and lays out explosive claims.
She says a deputy police chief and his team stormed her salon in 2023. The officers haul Aom and her staff to the station, then demand 50,000 Baht. The price, she says, for keeping her doors open.
Aom refuses. The police drive everyone back to the salon. But they don’t leave. Instead, Aom claims, the officers crack open six bottles of beer—then walk out without paying a single Baht.
“I feel threatened by the authorities,” Aom confides. So far, police remain silent on the allegations.
Forced Sex Claim: Laotian Worker’s Shocking Story
The most disturbing accusation comes from one of Aom’s Laotian employees. The woman tells Aom she was forced into sex by the deputy police chief on the day of the raid.
“She said they threatened her with arrest for illegal work if she refused,” Aom reveals. Terrified, the worker quits soon after, fearing more abuse.
Aom admits several staff are from Laos and lack proper work permits. “I didn’t know a passport wasn’t enough,” she says. The claims cast a harsh new light on police behaviour. An official investigation is underway, but police have yet to comment.
Years of Extortion: ‘I Paid for Their Food and Drink’
Aom says the police have been squeezing her for years. “They made me pay for their meals, alcohol, everything—or else,” she claims. The payments became a crushing burden.
Finally, Aom refuses to give in. She shuts down the massage parlour and turns it into a restaurant. But the demands don’t stop. “I’m trapped in a system where corruption is normal,” she sighs.
‘We Offer Massage, Not Sex’: Owner Fights Back
Aom insists her salon is above board. “We only provide health massages,” she says. Some staff do offer sexual services, but only if customers ask—and the workers keep all the money.
“My income is just from massage fees,” Aom stresses. She denies profiting from anything illegal and says she always tried to follow the law. The issue with Laotian staff, she claims, was a mistake.
Now, Aom calls for an independent probe into the scandal.
Press Pressure: Smear Campaign After Police Row
After switching to a restaurant, Aom faces a new threat. A local journalist, she alleges, demands 6,000 Baht a month—boasting of close police ties.
When Aom refuses, he publishes damaging stories that tarnish her reputation. “I’m squeezed between police and press,” she says.
Desperate, Aom turns to the public, sharing her ordeal on TV. The accused police officer refuses to appear on air. With investigations ongoing, all eyes are on the authorities.
