BBC: Tourists warned of Thailand airport scam
On an allegation of shoplifting at duty free prior to their departure for London,
Stephen Ingram and Xi were arrested and, after spending the night in a filthy jail cell, were "taken by Tony [an interpreter] to meet the local police
commander - but, says Mr Ingram, for three hours all they discussed was how much money they would have to pay to get out. Mr Ingram and Ms Xi were taken
to meet the local police commander. They were told the charge was very serious. If they did not pay, they would be transferred to the infamous Bangkok
Hilton prison, and would have to wait two months for their case to be processed." "Now new allegations have been made that a number of passengers are being detained every month in the
duty free area on suspicion of shoplifting, and then held by the police until they pay large sums of money to buy their freedom."

About the Thai Police "The police usually walk with an air of authority, as they should, but you'll also note that the police
are usually courteous, do not speak tough and will truly listen..." *** "Thai Police have low official salaries, typically 6000 baht ($125) per MONTH, and the police stations are poorly paid by the government.
Imagine raising a family on that! In Bangkok, they get most of their support from their community, which means monthly fees from the gold shops they protect, traffic violations and other behavioral fines paid on
the spot (without a citation written out)..." Source: Thailandguru
