Police are considering pressing a lese majeste charge against a woman who allegedly cheated thousands of tourists by promising a trip to Japan and then leaving them stranded at Suvarnabhumi Airport, said Central Investigation Bureau chief Thitirat Nongharnpitak.
Police were told that Pasit “Shogun” Arinchayapit, whose whereabouts are unknown, told her potential clients that she could bring them to meet palace figures and somebody from the Palace to preside over the opening ceremony of her company.
“I assign the Technology Crime Suppression Division police to gather information to check whether this is true and has enough weight for us to charge her with a lese majeste lawsuit,” he said.
