Redline Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Apparently he is going to announce every single arrest of every “foreigner” for the rest of his career? I don’t know why I didn’t announce what I did at all of my jobs daily or weekly? I should have taken pictures too ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much did the immigration officials at the Sing Khorn checkpoint take, and has Maj Gen Surachate now received his cut? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessebkk1 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 They were deceived and scammed by a Thai national who probably convinced them that he was a visa agent or an I/O, and charged them over 8k Baht per head, which is an already insane money for people from those countries to pull off. Please Big Joke don't lock them up in the IDC and treat them like criminals, these folks are the victims in this case and deserve everyone's compassion and understanding. (Not unless they were complacent) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it, but he will be giving his public support to Prayut to be prime minster if we ever get these elections. That’s what all this publicity is about .
