There are organizations who prefer to work in the dark.They hate it, when the truth comes out.Hats off to all the courageous journalists who try to inform the public about the dark and often criminal practices.This interferes the illegal transactions.Unfortunately, this often law-breaking organizations have a lot of money and know how to buy judgments, witnesses and expert opinions.Everything stands and falls then with the objectivity of courts.But in times of globalization, internet and the available information channels, the suppressing of the truth is becoming increasingly more difficult for the criminal profiteers.Thailand is currently experiencing for example that many international NPOs watch there fishing and shrimp farming. The World's largest food company, Nestle is observed with regard to their drink water productions in third world countries. The USA with their GM-seeds, the textile industry with their working conditions and cotton production. The agriculture with its pesticides, etc.Hopefully the judges make a decision for the benefit of mankind.

Good article. Wonder just why the outcry comes from the Pattaya tour guides?
...Over 100 Thai guides who work in Pattaya.....
Those are quite a lot for the small former fishing village.
.....In other words, foreign visitors travelling in groups and in need of a guide must hire Thai nationals to show them around....
To show what?
Areas of cultural sensitivity in Pattaya?
Walking Street?, Beach Road? Soi 6? -
But suspicion rises after relative received documents of share transfer from a finance company stating Mr Chuwong had transferred 9.5 million shares of a SET-listed green energy firm worth 228 million baht to two women four days before his death.
But after wife and daughter of the billionaire complained the police of suspicious death as up to almost 10 million shares of a SET-listed energy firm worth almost 300 million baht were transferred to two women a few days before his death, CSD police intervened in to probe.
That's an accurate reporting.
Within 2 days, 72 million more.
Ok let's say the 300 million Baht race is opened for 4 teams.
Winner takes all, or is there a percentage per head bounty distribution? -
....Pol.Lt.Gen. Sriwarah said he later encountered another checkpoint in front of the Criminal Court where police volunteers also insisted he take a breathalyzer test......From a legal perspective the situation is as follows:1. He was off duty, so he is a civilian as any other citizen and is subject to the same laws as everyone else.2. He confesses and3. He is a repeat offenderThe maximum penalty for driving under influence in Thailand is one year in prison, a 20,000 baht fine, and the revocation of the driver's license.Refusing to take a breathalyzer test also carries a maximum penalty of one year in prison.So he is refusing in two cases to take a breathalyzer test is maximum 2 years in prison.He has confessed, which leads to the usual sentence reduction by a third.This then gives maximum 16 months in prison under current thai law.Shows the offender insight in court, then does not have to be the maximum penalty imposed.Unfortunately, this is not to be recognized in this case.The offender appears quite unapologetic.With good behavior in prison, the actual penalty would decrease again.An appeal hearing and bail can be ruled out here, since there is a confession.Guess this is the legal situation, as it is taught in all law schools and universities in Thailand,or not?

That's a nice business idea.How much would it cost, to get your car license plate on thisfree – drive - pass – no – policeman – is - allowed – to – stop - me – list?
Could you also then pay with bananas? -
However, after submitting his report to the police, Blake claims that one officer told him “there’s not enough evidence”.
4 witnesses and CCTV recording are not enough?
It is the inability, stupidity or laziness?
This is not good for tourism when foreigners are attacked for no reason with knives.
This attack could also have ended with death.
Hope that the braindead madman end up in jail.
They are a danger to society. -
Yes and other stories are in turn so unbelievable that they must be true.
Like this one:

Only the rich and powerful will get immediate attention from leaders to investigate. The poor can shout and wait like the Koh Toa murders. The police even got congratulated by Prayuth.
There are 228 million baht in Jackpot for....
Sure there are efforts undertaken by top police BIB.

In Germany they would have fired that guy
Germany....Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the US, the UK, Finland, Norway....the entire EU....Most countries that call themselves democratic would have fired the guy....fired him for 2 reasons; 1. That he has that attitude, and 2. That he's too stupid to realise that his attitude is unacceptable.
And in many countries, he would go to prison, because
3. As an civil servant, off from duty he is a civilian as any other citizen and is subject to the same laws as everyone else.
He refused an alcohol test, then forcibly blood test by a medical officer.
4. He does not follow the instructions of police officers on duty, is resistance against the government authority.
A night in the drunk tank and next morning screening at the magistrate judge.
5. If his blood alcohol level is over the limit, then driving ban and fine.
6. The resistance against the government authority could lead to a criminal trial.
Now he commands and forbids his subordinates to control him and his cronies in the future.
7. Abuse of power in office in the most serious form.
Immediate dismissal from the police force.
8. Damage to the reputation of the police in the public.

Look so many beautiful badges on his uniform:

Here are a few suggestions for some more badges:

Policemen represent the law and ensure compliance with laws.But not in Thailand.Some police leaders proclaim publicly to the media, that the law does not apply to them.That is the decomposition of the basic rules of society.Hopefully some courageous thai media will report on this case.Finally, why then Thailand makes all the effort and wrote a new constitution?For the stupid masses who should obey the laws?And the so-called guardians of the law get a free card?Amnesty, Impunity, carte blanche?There was indeed the medieval Inquisition much more advanced.

"I have instructed all volunteers and police officers to memorize faces, names, and license plates of their commanders well, so that this mistake will not happen again," Pol.Maj.Gen. Thanapon said.Guess they will make a list with license plates.Instruct then all volunteers and police officers: Do not stop and check this cars!What happens if terrorists or drug smugglers can get a copy of this list?Just copy the right license plate and then: Free ride to the destination?Dumber as it gets.

This sums up - in a nutshell - why the Thai police are considered by many to be totally corrupted
I also want to add that I asked my Thai family if this news story had featured on Thai language TV news reports.
They had not seen any news reports about this, (although maybe the cartoon channels don't run news stories...)
This is the interesting aspect of this case. All of us here on TV are aghast that the police chief could be so brazen as to state publicly that he is above the law and then instruct his subordinates to conduct training of these volunteer officers so that they will not repeat the "mistake" of asking a senior officer to take a breathalyzer again. We cannot fathom how the police chief could say this and not get his head knocked off by the PM.
But the case doesn't make the Thai news. Why? I presume because it's not news... A police chief announces that he's above the law. All Thai people know this already. Moreover, they probably accept that this is the natural order of things. So why would this qualify as news-worthy?
That is true.Thai media, Pantip and social media do not talk about.And here is the unanimous outcry from all camps.Probably we know from our own countries how police can or have to work.We reflect the public statements made by the Thai police bosses in our systems.In our home countries were these statements scandalous.Certainly the end of the career as police chief/general.Not here.Guess the Thai general population does not know how police can be otherwise.Follow, maintain and protect laws.But why are other Asian countries, ASEAN is around the corner, here further than Thailand? -
Birds of a feather flock together
The military masters are not going to do anything about this since they need the support on the ground from the Royal Thai Police
Article 44 could be invoked and this yahoo would be in an inactive post before the ink dried, but that is not going to happen in a country that is governed by force, and the police are the guns in the trenches
I am not so pessimistic.Not all cops are bad.Many police officers are also very unhappy with the reputation they have in the general population.There are also police officers who managed the entrance exam without cheating.There were already sorted out some bad apples.That must now proceed quickly and efficiently.Who really stand out for corruption and / or violation of the law, degrade immediately, replace, throw them out or in the prison.Many of the inflated clowns are not covered by colleagues.But the police can not reform itself, that has to come from outside. -
My very good friend, who is Thai and from royalty (his dad was a prince), moved back to Thailand a few years ago after living in Dallas for longer than 20 years. He still drives on the Thai Driver's License he got when he was 16 and the second day he was back in Thailand, he was stopped for going the wrong way on a one-way street. The police officer took one look at his family name, saluted him, and requested he not drive the wrong way again; no ticket. My friend is also an ex-policeman and though he has been stopped several times he is never ticketed. Only once did he use the power of influence; he told the police officer that he knew the police officer's boss (he didn't) and the police officer, scared to incur the wrath of his boss, let my friend go out of an abundance of caution. Policemen be warned: Respect your betters or suffer the consequences.
IMO, the foremost and top thing on Prayut's Reform List should have been the RTP. They root out crime, but instead of shutting the crime down, they extort money from the criminals and let the crime continue with them getting a share. Ask Chuvit Komolvisit; he paid Bt. 15 million per month to the RTP to operate his 'Massage Parlors'.
Unless this police general if removed from his high position, the questions is: Are the RTP too powerful for Prayut, even with article 44, to tackle? More and more, it looks to be so.

I have similar thoughts.The police are a brotherhood and a state within the state.Laws, rules and conventions of a society form the foundation and the guiding principle for all members. Understanding and respect for these rules are the basis for a peaceful coexistence.In a society some people are responsible for ensuring that these rules are respected.This is the executive or colloquially the police.This part of the separation of powers does not seem to work here.Especially those which are intended to ensure compliance with the laws,proclaim publicly that this laws not apply for them.The daily abuse of power and corruption is indeed for a long time to see for everyone.
The result is then a failed state.The best would be to replace the non-functioning executive leadership gradually with people who understand the basics of a functioning state, respectively have understood the need to comply with laws. -
Beyond belief.
And here I was hoping that things might gradually change - seems I was deluded.
Might as well just call- off the coup, the protests, the inconvenience and invite Thaksin back to take over again, seems we are no better off than before - if you're in power just do as you please.
Surely there is a really hard nosed military guy somewhere in Thailand with the balls to take over and really bang heads together - not pussy foot around the difficult issues while making a lot of noise over the simple fix-up's,although seems some of the easy fix-up's are now getting too difficult.
End of rant - back to being deluded it's easier on the blood pressure.
I feel the same.
Think positive. The hope that really crucial system errors be parked.
That the law and the penalties for all should be equal in a society.
And then there are coming public out these two inflated clowns and try to bend the entire police force in their favor with privileges.
The public proclamation that the law does not apply to all.
Yes, Beyond belief.

Bangkok traffic cops told to respect bosses' privilege.
What privilege here?
To drive possibly drunk?
To refuse an alcohol test?
Criticizing officers on duty and not to follow their instructions when he is off duty?
Not to follow the laws?
They are inflated Clowns without any leadership qualitys.
What's next?
Shoot someone in the head without penalty? -
This kind of police leadership are a disaster and really make any approach to reforms impossible.
-
Is incredible with witch arrogance the law is bent here.
The laws are clearly violated, ridiculed and trampled here buy police VIP´s.
Those are great reforms!
Thailand urgently needs Rulers who respect the laws. -
Pol.Maj.Gen. Nitipat Pattanatabutr, commander of the Fifth Region Police and part-time lottery prophet.
I think his predictions are not for free.
Since when does he do it then?
Would certainly useful to review his tax declarations from the last years.
Contradicting his activities also not the gambling ban?
The promotion to gamble on the part of a policeman, is certainly not good for society and the reputation of the police.
The separation between duty and private life do not succeed here, if he tries in his service time to track competitors. -
He as the BKK police chef leader and role model gives the entire police a stupid and ugly face.
The bad part is:
He is mentally unable to understand this. -
That the controlling volunteer traffic cops did not recognize his face,
he the Pol.Lt.Gen. Sriwarah Rangsipramkul, BKK Police chef, the boss.
That must have hit hard his inflated ego.
He missed some basics here,
the best would be, that he must repeat the complete beginner education training program for traffic cops again.
If this is too much shame, he can also work as a night guard or gatekeeper in a medium sized condo complex. -
""People would question if those girls were real nurses who wanted to earn extra money. Who would know?" Chudaporn said."
Chudaporn, were you born yesterday?
Come on.She is right.The ask for extra money is bad behavior.
They should stop this.
-
I'm a bit confused now.
Are this now sexy fake nurses in real nurse outfits?
Or real sexy nurses in fake nurse outfits?
And what is with this extra money?
Those girls were real nurses who wanted to earn extra money?
Or the fake ones want to earn extra money?
Who would know?
But moneywise it would be the same, or not?
But there exists a much bigger problem.
Two nights ago i met in mixx disco a real sexy girl in real sexy secretary outfit,
still until today i do not know if she was a fake.
Prayut urged to reshuffle the Cabinet to get public back on his side
in Thailand News
Posted
"Meanwhile, Suriyasai Katasila, deputy dean of Rangsit University's Social Innovation College and director of the Thailand Reform Institute, said a Cabinet reshuffle was likely to happen due to ministers' performance failures, putting more direct pressure on Prayut."
Clear statement.
The PM should spend more time with progressive people,
There is no reason to hold on people, who do not respect the laws and/or are corrupt.
