Consumer Protection police have arrested a 36-year-old man who has been providing penis enhancement treatments via Facebook despite having no medical license or training.

According to Pol Maj Gen Witthaya Sriprasertparb, chief of the Consumer Protection Police Division, Mr Kittikorn Songsri, 36, was arrested following a sting operation at the townhouse in Samut Sakhon, where he offered Penile girth enlargement injections and pearl implants.
