Anyone able to translate the Thai script in these pics.
I’d like to know where they were arrested.
Many thanks

Pictures have been shot in a police station outside of Bangkok, in a place called "Chang ... something" (the something not being visible on the pictures).
Could be in Chang Phuak Police Station in Chiang Mai city but there are many other "Chang ... something" in Thailand

What I can read is สถานีตำรวจภูธร(thai word for elephant messes up post)(covered)ะ(covered)
and putting this into google gives
Trat province, Ko Chang district (Ko Chang island).สถานีตำรวจภูธร(thai word for island messes up post)ช้าง(but here Thai word for elephant does not mess up post!) - Amphoe Ko Chang - Police Station ...
So it’s not in the Surin area?
The reason I ask is because my “friend” near Surin tells me he has been arrested for selling them alcohol and needs money....blah blah.
Any help to def eliminate Surin appreciated!!
I just browsed the list of provincial police stations in each one of the thai provinces (including Bangkok) and found another two stations in places called "Chang ..." : Chang Yai in Phra Nakhon Sri Ayuthaya province and Chang Klang in Nakhon Sri Thammarat province.
However no one of these (and neither does Chang Phuak) match with the letter " ะ " showing on the last picture (between policemen nr 2 and nr 3)- but this could be irrelevant.

Were both pics taken at the same location? Looks like the pics were taken in different locations at different times to me and published in some article(s). Were they re-posted on somebody's FB page? The first pic shows a group possibly being hauled up for breaching a social distancing/curfew rule, with the whiskey bottle prominently displayed as "evidence". I think it was taken at Chang Puak police station in Chiang Mai.
The second pic shows a different group holding up the confessions they had signed - can't tell what for. Probably the same thing as breaching curfew/social distancing is the most common crime right now, especially among farang and Thai youngsters and one they want to make an example of.
The pics were recently taken as all of them were wearing masks. So can't be at any festival as all festivals have been banned since the emergency decree. I don't think they were taken in Surin at all.
Let's dig into the internet a bit.
A reverse picture search on tineye.com doesn't show me the link to the original article, but I can get the complete picture.

I'm not great at reading Thai, so google lens to the rescue. It's the police station in Chang Phueak.
A google maps search reveals that it's less or more 900 km from Surin.

The second picture comes from a report in Siam Rath newspaper about six men being arrested on April 4th at 0.30 am in Sri Saket town, Sri Saket province. This town is located between Surin and Ubon Ratchathani towns and about 100 km far from Surin town
The six men are 23 to 33 y/o old, and were arrested because of failure to respect the curfew.
