Some 200 highschool students in Chiang Mai and Mae Hong Son were duped into paying Bt40,000 per head to get fouryear undergraduate scholarships for seven Taiwanese institutes, leading to Bt8 million in damages, an adviser to the social development and human security minister said Thursday.
On behalf of those claiming damages, Petcharawat Wattanapongsirikul filed a complaint to the Department of Special Investigation (DSI).
