PHUKET:-- The former Patong Police Chief, Col Chaiwat Uikam, and the Deputy Chief of Patong Police, Lt Col Somsak Thongkleng, have today (Nov 10) been transferred out of Phuket to the former Region 8 Police Headquarters in Surat Thani province, which is now the Provincial Police Training Center Region 8, until further notice following allegations of taking bribes from entertainment venues in Patong.

 

Phuket Police Commander Maj Gen Teeraphol Thipjaroen told The Phuket News today, “Col Chaiwat Uikam and Lt Col Somsak Thongkleng have been moved to the Region 8 Police office in Surat Thani Province without any deadline while corruption allegations are investigated.

 

“However, it is hard for police to obtain information about the allegations of taking bribes from entertainment businesses,” he said.

How crazy is this it is very well known that it costs about 30 million baht to become head of patong police.Then the collections start and a certain amount per month is paid to phuket town etc etc.The whole system is built on corruption and all the police know this that is why it is very hard for police to find out about corruption as they all know it is expected of them.

Indeed. But Chalong can't be far behind as it's the hub for drug dealing on the island and Surat is the retirement home.
