So your saying he's not guilty of protected wildlife crimes, etc., etc., all just bullshit in an attempt to hit him for something else?

Hes guilty all right but he did not expect to be arrested nor did the boss of the Bangkok brothel. 

I heard he borrowed the panther or is it leopard skin from a friend and the ivory from his friends friend. 

Old Prem Karmasutra has annoyed somebody somewhere. This is not the way it's meant to work out.

Was this Somyot not famously the richest head of police ever here? He boasted an 800 odd million baht fortune, now turns out he borrowed 300 mill from a dodgy massage parlor owner. And then there was his famous/lucrative overseeing of "justice" in the koh tao debacle. The guy need firing from his footy job, hauling over coals and a full asset confiscation, a lesson to other bent coppers. Disgraceful seeing these elites like Somyot and Prawit being corrupt and not caring, not setting the best example IMHO.

I seem to recall he was also involved in some dodgy share dealings amounting to close to 500 million Baht?

Ah, that’s good to know. Really instills confidence when law enforcement say they will still do their job even when someone in the spotlight says they’re innocent. 

Indeed and don't place any faith in any AMLO investigation as they claim to have no powers to investigate suspect

bank accounts. Or so they claim.

He was slightly more than the average wealth of top police chiefs at 255 M Baht. Throw away your business books. Join the police to be wealthy.

Your absolutely right. Even when you go down the food chain you find a mid range cop working now in Division 8 in Surat Thani who was kicked out of Phuket 3 or 4 times to in active posts due to the public reporting his criminality but still owns a number of expensive houses in Phuket and has been pictured on Facebook with his red Ferrari.

But he's his friend...555

 

One heck of a good friend to lend this sum without, I presume, any interest paid, as there was no mention of that. Surely this should be considered by the counter corruption squad!

I would think it could also be money laundering and AMLO should be charged with investigating but wait AMLO is run by the POLICE so perhaps the NACC? Nah run by the POLICE too. Ministry for Justice then? Police yet again.

getting payoffs via drug and human trafficker's can be quite lucrative.  it appears one could accumulate about 350 million from it if one was a top cop in thailand.

I seem to recall that he also holds a similar amount of money in shares in a Thai company the purchase of which was questioned by the Stock exchange some years ago? 

Following the military coup of 22 May 2014, Somyot was appointed to the National Legislative Council (NLC). Members are required to reveal their assets and properties to determine if they are "unusually rich". Somyot and his wife's net worth was reported to be about 355.8 million baht (roughly US$11 million). One government critic said that this raised "...questions about how a lifelong career in the public service could have made him a millionaire."

AMLO.... Now there is a fun organisation. AMLO is of course the police in another guise. Apparently they have no powers of investigation that is they cant force anybody to make a statement and even if they do AMLO  have no powers to check the validity of the statement. At least that's what they told me in my case regarding the money laundering by a major bank in stealing a property belonging to me.

do you know how he got 10 mil ? if not shut up ! i said he could have been a drug dealer in thailand for all you know 

I have no idea how he had 10 million just as you have no freaking idea he could have been a drug dealer. Grow up.

although some of his story may be true , I still think there is something he is hiding , such as how did he get 10 million baht ? he could have been a drug dealer in thailand and had a gun which could have been his own as a way of defending himself , also where was he when his wife was pregnant , if he was in jail for another offence ( undisclosed offence ) could have been for dealing drugs would you want him in your country if he was doing this ? also he tried to pay off police ( bribary ) he says he was innocent so why try pay police off , there is alot of smoke here without the fire , and he must have put alot of assets in his wifes name ( big mistake )) a person with his wealth should know better but maybe he did it because he wanted to hide things , he is now in bohol and supposed to be living on 3000 usd a month but yet he has money to go to the gym if i was desperate for funds i would do my fitness free of charge , jogging on fields or main roads , situps on beaches or in the back yard but no he pays to keep fi with no money ( something does not fit this story ) sorry keep him deported is my judgement on him , there are corrupt police here but its people like him that makes them corrupt as he admitted trying to corrupt them by offering money to them and his kid will be better off without a scruppulous person like him 

Lord lampin divine Jaysus I have this overwhelming feeling your great fun to be with. You've certainly got it all worked out. You've packed every annoying TV cliche and assumption known to man into this keyboard manifeststion. You should be awarded a yellow card for dissent.

Yes, collecting used underwear is far more interesting than stamp collecting, it's just not as safe an investment, as the article clearly indicates. As with many things it's the hunt that brings the pleasure, not the kill.

 

I'm looking for a pair of 1987 limited edition hello kitty (sans the skid mark) preferably size xxl (asian)

It's nearly the holy grail  and so many panty pushers claim to have an original pair but mostly cheap indian knock offs

 

Of course everyone knows the most sought after pair of  used knickers The Margaret Thatcher Marks and Spencer Tory Blue 

high waist size L (British Size) worn feb 14th, 1981.   I've heard they are owned by the Donald but have lost their value after he wore them to his inaguration.

 

 

 

 

Ha Ha with industrial strength gusets.

Inactive post? Nah no such post exists. Recently there was a story on here about a cop who was contacted by a gang of criminals who if I recall correctly he said contacted him by accident and tried to scam him out of money. The truth was he was covering his @ss cos they were shaking him down as he was Phukets most notorious bent cop. He used to operate in Patong and got greedy and was moved to an inactive post. Then when the dust settled he reinvented himself in Chalong police station. After another period of time he was moved 3 times to inactive posts the last one being down South. Then he reappeared in Phuket again and now is the chief inspectot of Surat Thani Div 8 that oversees Phuket. Numerous cases filed against him with the PACC disappeared into thin air.

Ok Einstein. Go check who controls the NACC ... PACC..... Ministry for Justice ..... AMLO  .... DSI ... Rights and Liberties ... Immigration .... Witness Protection .... 2nd thoughts. Forget it.

With respect. Wrong. The Army is currently above and beyond the law. 

Ha Ha .... If you check it out the police control every single government department even the charities and the FA.

Just another case of, i am above the law, i am an important person you are only minions.

Too many people here think they are above the law, but they are not, nobody is above the law.

Sad thing is it is the feudal mentality here that allows it to happen.

People like him are still living in the days of i got money, i can do what i like.

With respect. Wrong. The police are above and beyond the law.

It's a wonder the tourist found a spot on the crowded beach to lay his mat. Maybe the attitude of the locals towards tourists has something to do with it. Tourists are being driven away for years. Phuket is sinking.

I don't understand why you think this would be better. For a start, it's not a crime to recognise good deeds. But more importantly, it offers up a lesson to others to be philanthropic. In this case, silence isn't golden. Hope you agree. Cheers.

I believe people don't need to witness others do good deeds to want to enrich somebody elses life. Its something from within that does not seek a reward or recognition.  When my father died many people I never met came up to me at the funeral and told me how my father had helped him or her while he was alive. Paying medical bills etc anonymously. That to me is how to to help a fellow man out seeking no earthly reward or recognition.

Can see where you are coming from You might as well went and seen a bar girl and asked her  to enforce section 357  You might of got more satisfaction out of her instead of the lawyer The lawyer probably set up the bank manager and showed  him how to  launder money  That is how corrupt the whole system is You were just wasting your time there 

Thing is AMLO are of course the RTP  so indeed it was a waste of time. The entire judicial system is run by the police they start it off and finish it off.

nice jester, 

however the man is worth something in the region of 350 millon USD since the sale of the UFC  if i had that sort of money i would do things like this a lot more often without the press knowing about it.

Absolutely agree. I'm sure his intention was good but not looking for recognition would be better. 

A true story. I went to AMLO the anti money laundering office to file a complaint about a bank manager laundering money. The senior officer at the meeting asked me what did I want them to do. Simple I said sue them under Section 357. What is Section 357 she asked? I looked at her and at the other investigative officers in the room thinking she was joking. They all had that same vacant confused Thai look. I questioned if she was the senior lawyer there? Yes she nodded. I said it's the law regarding receiving stolen goods! Oh she mumbled. I asked how she could possibly not know this section of the law in her position as a qualified lawyer? As I did she was thumbing through a book. She was trying to find Section 357! Ah yes found it she said I understand now. Triumphantly she said I use this book all the time. 

The main problem with people loose in the back of a pick up is that they are similar to a single horse in a double Horsebox ie it is a moving weight so the front wheels of the car will loose traction and the movement of weight destabilize the vehicle thus all control is lost and flip a Horsebox or pick up and catapult the people out of the pick up bed.

Personally I don't believe in sanitizing reality. Western media and it's populations don't have the stomach for the truth in photos, and imho this photo is not blood soaked and goes a long way to exposing the truth of the anguish and consequences from poor decisions. Being spoon-fed is one reason this unfortunate person made the choice he did.
