MrBrad Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 That's all there is to this post. His name pops up regularly on immigration threads, but I'm totally out of the loop on this. I have no idea who this person is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordblackader Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Major General Surchate Hakpal, current head of Immigration and before that the deputy head of the Thai Tourist Police. He's rather fond of publicity and not so fond of people with black skin. Big Joke is his Thai nickname. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunBENQ Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Pol. Maj. Gen. Surachet Hakphan, born 29. October 1970, 48 years old. Hurry up to send him birthday congrats Acting commissioner of Thai Immigration Police since Oct 1, 2018. He is still acting commissioner and wearing the tourist police uniform until he gets his third star (promotion) to be "countersigned" from the "very top". Here seen at the meeting of Royal Thai Police end of September this year where the list of reshuffle and promotions were pronounced: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like a name meant to mock him but it's not. Joke was his Thai nickname since childhood and he has a "big" position in government, hence Big Joke.

I was also nicknamed a certain dish by a Thai foodstall because I kept ordering the same food whenever I go there. LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Big" Plausible. A nickname like all children get and usually keep for their lifetime. Now ridiculed by this transcription to English as "joke".
