Pluak Daeng Police Chief Transferred Following KTV Raids in Rayong
The Superintendent of Pluak Daeng Police Station has been transferred to the Rayong Provincial Police operations center following a high-profile raid on four karaoke venues.
On October 17, 2026, the Rayong Provincial Police issued an order transferring Police Colonel Navin Sinthurat, the Superintendent of Pluak Daeng Police Station, to the provincial operations center. This administrative action follows a recent operation led by the Department of Provincial Administration, dubbed 'The Secret Room,' which targeted four karaoke (KTV) venues in the Pluak Daeng district of Rayong province.
During the raids, authorities reportedly discovered evidence of potential illegal activities and uncovered a list of monthly bribe payments that allegedly implicated several government agencies. The discovery of these documents has prompted an investigation into potential corruption and systemic oversight failures within the local jurisdiction. To ensure the continuity of police operations, Police Colonel Jeerawat Saksriwattana, Deputy Commander of Rayong Provincial Police, has been appointed as the acting Superintendent of Pluak Daeng Police Station.
For residents and visitors, this development highlights ongoing efforts by central authorities to address nightlife-related illicit activities and potential corruption in the region. While the administrative transfer is confirmed, the authenticity of the alleged bribe list and the extent of the involvement of other agencies remain subject to further investigation. Authorities have yet to release final findings regarding the specific charges against the venue operators or the validity of the documents seized during the operation.
