The beach at Hua Hin
Last week, authorities apprehended a disgraced US businessman in the resort district of Hua Hin in Prachuap Khiri Kan.
Tourist Police Division Commander Pol Maj Gen Roy Inkapairoj led the group that arrested Paul David Cardwell, a 47-year-old businessman wanted for fraud and money laundering in the US.
Mr. Cardwell was the former CEO of Powell Valley Healthcare in Wyoming. He managed to evade arrest while living with his Thai girlfriend in the Hua Hin area. He was indicted for money laundering and defrauding the hospital he worked for. After posting bail, he escaped to Thailand using a fake passport with a photo that resembled his own.
