Probably to do with the 'acting' - he's getting used to parading around in front of the press. This PR exercise looks like it was held during daylight hours. More recently, the actor 'acting' head of immigration has been holding press conferences during the hours of darkness. Perhaps he's happier being nocturnal like a bat? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only true when you believe 'fake news'............ we may later learn that he is just a 'prop' advertising how well the RTP can do their job............ TIT........... but you can believe what you like........... Thailand still likes the money that those 'counterfeit' goods bring into the country........ But at the same time they try to polish up their 'image' once in a while with a 'show' like this getting BIG PUBLICITY...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you have to question why he seems be controlling both Immigration and Police investigations, even marine investigations. I well know the line is thin between all these minions of the army, the real power in Thailand. This guy is for sure being groomed by the powers to be a future PM.

Future PM doubt it, the Thais can see through this charade. At least they won't vote for him if voting is an option. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
