Thai authorities have fined two CNN journalists for working in the country on tourist visas but cleared them of wrongdoing for entering the day care centre where more than 20 children were killed.
Deputy national police chief Surachate Hakparn said the journalists had been waved into the building by a volunteer or a health officer, but did not know the person was not authorised to allow them inside.
They each agreed to pay fines of 5,000 baht (£119) and leave the country after admitting to working despite entering Thailand on tourist visas, he said.
