Police chief put on inactive duty in fallout from "obscene" tattoo contest in Rayong mall

[amdy2206]

Before long the inactive police will outnumber the active ones! But you never hear of an inactive member of the police being prosecuted or sacked. Do they just stay inactive until they retire?

[Jonah777]

So......   most all of the police chiefs have been transferred to inactive posts for various acts of corruption and dereliction of duty. Who's running the store, the janitor?

I think seeing dead people strewn across the roads daily is obscene.

You are not Thai. You do not understand (what they consider obscene and what they do not!)

[Lupatria]

The way they normally handle cases like this indicates the the chief received a little decision making inspiration to give green light for the event.

Nothing more than an exhibition of art, i can surely think of many other things that police are much more in the need to be moved to inactive positions!!

Sometimes, I think, that many police are already in inactive positions.

"conservative Thailand"

Oh bore off. Can't wait for this ridiculous faux outrage at *everything* that's currently prevalent across Thai society to subside. It's like an "I can be more staid than you" competition.

Definitely some "trees" that need pruning though.

 

sections of thai society are very conservative (for example, within parts of the thai chinese community)and other areas more, erm, broad minded (e.g. parts of the less educated lower class sections of society happy for their offspring to be involved in the sex industry) . it is not possible generalise about cultural outlook of the population as a whole.

Sorry, I was confused by the fact that you only thought that there were many police already in inactive positions!

He should have continued his roadside duties collecting 200 baht notes  from passing trafficants for «traffic offences» so that he could entertain his mianoi instead. Because thats so much more accepted in than allowing some tattooers arranging a competition.

 

Amazing Thailand!

For sure there are, but there's a whole middle ground, where I suspect most people *really* sit, where one neither has to 'virtue signal' nor 'be cool with their kids being hookers'. I'd like to see the media reporting a little more from the perspective of that group, though I suspect that's unlikely to happen right now... perhaps in a couple of years.

"Inactive duty" - so nothing's changed then.

But it’s okay for a Thai to pull over on the road throw his roger out and pee up against the coconut tree in broad daylight or to have bar girls hanging around on the pavements selling themselves “ Amazing Thailand “

Roger??

[neeray]

“Conservative Thailand”

”lewd and obscene public displays”

”Thai-ness”

All interesting words.

..just a few bumps and dips on the canvas..oh well 30 days will give him time to catch up on all his paper-work.

Inactive positions must surely have a waiting list now.

     Just think of the moral outrage these people would experience in any museum in Europe.  I am thinking the old masters biblical nudes would put them in a frenzy!

So Somchai got a 30 days paid leave - well done; keep up the good work!

Another addition to the burgeoning number of "clerks" in the RTP, then!

Geezus almighty, they could start a whole new force of “inactive duty” cops.

I wonder which one would be the most populated?
