Pol Lt Gen Achayon stated that the ongoing investigation, which is anticipated to conclude shortly, will determine if any legal or regulatory violations have occurred. He emphasized the significance of maintaining the integrity of the Thai police force and cautioned tourists against wearing police uniforms or soliciting unauthorized services from officers.
