Whistleblowers who recently exposed alleged police misconduct are being hailed by netizens for their courage, but have landed the police in hot water.
A Chinese tourist said she paid police to obtain VVIP treatment upon arriving at Suvarnabhumi airport, whereby time spent in the immigration queue was cut and a police motorcade was provided for her trip to a hotel in Pattaya.
The Chinese woman, using the username choudan0302, posted a video clip on Douyin on Jan 21 highlighting her trip to Thailand.
