Police Colonel Itipon, the Superintendent of the Office received information from a small hill tribe in the North of Thailand of a potential case of abduction involving two Burmese men who would bring these poor tribesmen to Sattahip for work but would not allow them to return to their home until a payment of 10,000 Baht is received, at which point the laborers are free to return to their homes. There were also allegations that the laborers were kept in appalling conditions and would only receive food once a day. Immigration Officers received details of the location of a campsite in Samaer San in Sattahip District and arranged to make a payment of 40,000 Baht to released 4 of the workers. What the suspects were not aware of was that the payment was made by an undercover officer used marked bank notes. As soon as the transaction took place, officers swooped and arrested Mr. Surai and his son. A total of 21 laborers including 1 female were found in locked rooms, they consisted of both Thai and Burmese Nationals.
