Police Volunteer Apologizes to Singer After Improper Body Search
A female police volunteer in Rayong apologized to singer Lamyai Haithongki after conducting an invasive body search that allegedly included groping. The incident occurred at a checkpoint on November 6, prompting the singer to share her experience online, which led to other women reporting similar treatment by the same volunteer. Police mediated a reconciliation on November 8, with both the volunteer and station superintendent offering apology baskets, and the singer agreed not to pursue legal action.
The matter ended well as a female volunteer brought an apology basket to Mueang Rayong Police Station to apologize to singer Lamyai Haithongki over a body search case where she groped the singer's chest. The singer forgave her and declined to press charges.
The incident occurred around 3:00 AM on November 6 when Ms. Nongnuch, 40, known as singer Lamyai Haithongki, finished a singing job and was driving home on Highway 3574. At the Ko Kloi intersection in Cheung Nean subdistrict, Mueang Rayong district, she encountered a Mueang Rayong police checkpoint and stopped. The checkpoint commander then had Mrs. Samruay, 57, a female police volunteer, search the singer's body. The volunteer put her hands inside the singer's underwear and her nails poked her private parts, causing the singer to protect herself. However, the volunteer ordered her to remove her hands and continued searching, finding nothing illegal. Afterwards, the singer posted the volunteer's inappropriate search behavior on social media, drawing many comments, and several women messaged saying they had experienced similar treatment from the same volunteer.
