They've got plenty of bowlocks.

Not in Pattaya which is famed for its Invisible Police. Why invest in Tourist police uniforms when so many Thais are being 'allowed' to die every day on the roads?

Mine has been frozen for 16 years but HMRC has taxed me as if I received the full rate currently DOUBLE what I get now!

I started a whole thread about HMRC's 'scam' in August. I was just back from UK where my daughter phoned them. Eventually they admitted I'd been overtaxed for possibly 15 years at first blaming DWP then admitting they had assumed I was on a full state pension (ATM it's exactly double what I get now.) I was promised back tax on three years; I've had two, totalling 5000UKP. Apparently it's your job to check they are doing their job correctly. Like some above posters no documents have been sent or at least delivered to my Thai address. The YouGov website has not been in existence for all of the missing overpaid years but there's no appeal system beyond three years.

Because they thought she was a man & there were only two of them instead of the usual gang?

Any good news about Pattaya police is as rare as hen's teeth.

I thought young Thais were not allowed opinions?

expect three postings to Inactive duty.

If only RTP were made aware of this! I've been to Vietnam five times and was amazed at the 100% helmet wearing strictly enforced by the local police: meanwhile in Thailand...

Thais deny prostitution exists whilst partaking to the full - in particular police-owned brothels.

So no using the money to pay off bank loans reducing debt?

It's not unjustified; check back over some of your recent snipes; in particular towards me. The question about his visa is a comment on the UK Visa process as I'm in the middle of it for my Thai Care-giver.

Don't they teach about rhetorical questions in 'Pool? Joe was the exception that proved the rule; look how long he got away with it in the face of incontrovertible evidence of 'unusual wealth'. It took a death in custody and a police video taken by one of his henchmen to convict him.

You've got to be up early to fool the local cops.

Is this another on his long list of achievements?

To Be Arranged? (Sometime this decade.)

Piling up the Air miles for numerous foreign visits.

It usually takes ten years for the Thai Justice Department to snap into gear. Of course there are the numerous appeals to come. Do any RTP miscreants ever do jail time or are they all confined to Inactive Posts?

Liverpudlians are supposedly famed for their sense of humour. This sourpuss contents himself at sniping at FORUM contributors.

AKA 'deaf, dumb and blind kids'. The Who.

I didn't know Banglamung had a large force - I never see them especially: on the roads; at rush hour; weekends; after dark; Public Holidays.

These billions may be intended for good works but much of it will be creamed off - like the Tsunami Charity donations that never reached the victims but were used by big business to grab prime land.

Thereby dashing RTP's hopes of an after hours' bonanza. (Though they probably get to decide which venues are approved.)

Lots of folk in brown uniforms gazing through the windows of air-conditioned offices debating whether to investigate a plume of smoke five kilometres away or have another coffee.

They did and it was a huge scam from start to finish: photos of hollow rice mountains; millions imported from Vietnam/Cambodia; PM arrested. Let's see how this one fares.
