WASSAYOS NGAMKHAM
A student studying business administration was arrested in Bangkok yesterday for using fake documents to work and to apply for work as a dentist over the past two months. Ratchadatorn Laptanacharoen, alias Thanaratcha Tongtem, 20, from Nakhon Ratchasima, had been working at various dental clinics.
After gaining some experience by working as a dentist's assistant in his hometown for one year, he offered to do a variety of dental work including tartar removal, amalgam fillings and making dentures. He was arrested at a rented apartment in Bang Khen district and charged with cheating, identity theft and forging documents.
Dentist Santi Boonlertyiam alerted Min Buri district police that someone had assumed his identity and applied for a job at the Ban Rak Fun clinic in the district. The real dentist, who works at the Kham Sakae Saeng district hospital in Nakhon Ratchasima, learned of the theft of his identity after some patients were reimbursed their dental service fees from the Social Security Office, citing his name as their dentist.
The fake dentist also applied for a job at the Ban For Fun clinic in the Rom Klao area, the Rak Fun clinic in the Nawamin area and the Ban Tantabhaet clinic on Nuan Chan-Rarm Intra road, damaging his name, said the dentist.
Police tracked down the suspect and sought warrants for his arrest.
Mr Ratchadatorn confessed that he is now studying at the business administration faculty of the Pak Chong Industrial and Community College in Nakhon Ratchasima's Pak Chong district and said he wanted to make extra money.
''I learned about dental work from my previous job at a dental clinic. I have an interest and a passion to be a dentist someday, so I applied for a job at dental clinics.
''After I finish college, I want to further my studies in dentistry,'' he said.
Mr Ratchadatorn said some clinics where he applied for jobs did not ask to see his qualifications.
