KhunBENQ Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 (edited) (I searched a few minutes in the forum, if it's already in the news just close) Surachet Hakphan ("Big Joke") will be moved to police headquarters. His Facebook profile is closed. Source is in Thai and from a reliable member of a German language forum. No hard facts yet except that he didn't appear for the usual photo op's etc. Developing story.

Popular Post geoffbezoz Posted April 6, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 6, 2019 interesting development if true. But credit to the guy, he deserves a rest from all of the work he has been reported as doing. Again, if true, many Nigerians, Burmese, Cambodians, Laos and Indians, to name but 5 nationalities, will be partying tonight ???? 3 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe on second thoughts his policy of good guys in, bad guys out has back fired ? Let's face it is the bad guys, the boiler room scammers, retirement visa agents and general criminals that were perhaps wealthy enough to pay the biggest bribes, whereas the good guys amongst us could not. This has hit the pocket far up the RTP tree perhaps so a new man needs to be brought in who will reverse that policy. So the next phase could well be "Bad guys in, good guys out" ???? 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkman Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 (edited) Yeah I heard about this a few hours back. It's apparently being reported on Thai news on the radio. Not 100% confirmed though by the looks of things.

Bad guys have the money, have the contacts, the non-morals to get past this. Whereas some people who do a lot of good, may not have the financial resources, so get penalized. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
