Yeah wow.  Took 45 seconds on my last report at Chonburi sure ruined my life.

And mine took about 5 mins at Sakon Nakhon just a few days ago. But I had to make a 50kls round trip to make the report because the online system is a useless joke.

 

Plus it is a totally unnecessary imposition.

Sorry- what is “RTP”?  Is this a promotion or demotion? ( or depends )

As written Royal Thai Police (which immigration police is part of).

And very unlikely a promotion.

 

The silence from the officials (and Big Joke can't be reached) gives confidence that this is not only a rumor (or a "hack" of his social media sites).

I nominate ubonjoe to replace Big Joke as the immigration commander.  Do I hear a second?

Be careful what you wish for. His successor may squeeze even further.

I hardly think it is because he has been too lenient!

Could be that he stopped dead people giving their expensive watches away to those living, or else the gravy train officials that expedited it.

Hmm, Senior Police Officer withdrawn from active role just prior to formation of new government.

 

I wonder what could be going on there.

"Sanook mentioned the Lt-Gen's close relationship with DPM Prawit Wongsuwan"

 

Close relationship between the clean man and the watchman? Amazing.

To me it seems more likely it is a downgrade than he's climbing up the ladder. If so, it would be communicated differently.

I am sure it has nothing to do with politics! ;->

Was bound to happen as he was trying to do a good job. In the process he has upset the easy lives of countless Immigration 'Officials' who have had been made to 'work' with their perks cut off or cut down, slices of which are no longer going up the line to the top.

Someone surely did not like all the attention he was getting. He obviously made some mistakes....like stepping on the wrong persons foot.

Wonder if the "No Tips" sign will be down at the immigration offices on Tuesday ?

A petty and controlling publicity hound who let his xenophobic and racist instincts get the better of him. Showed little interest in understanding the expat community.  Treating the expat retirement community like they were a criminal element which warranted constant monitoring reflected poorly on his police science and resource management skills. With nothing ever done to address the widespread inconsistencies from one office to the next, and minimal effort made to root out internal corruption, his administrative management skills were nothing short of abominable. Sorry, Big Joke, but that's my honest opinion.

yeah couldn't agree more - taking the guys social media accounts down before an announcement was bound to fire up the runour mill.

 

promotions here are unveiled to fanfare not slipped in on a long weekend in the background

At the end of the day, irrespective of your personnel opinion, his main responsibility was to consider the well being of Thailand, not a few Farangs like us.   Given that, and as I said in another post, now discontinued, perhaps it will now be "bad guys in, good guys out" as perhaps he stepped on the toes benefiting from the previously corrupt system.

You mean you don't  have electric  and even more  baffling internet (  you'd  better go  look that one  up its  fairly  new)

i just heard flights from Nigeria have been booked solid in the past hour.

According to that Sanook news article written  in Thai,the Mrs said he is being reassigned(IO police)  to other duties in the Police Departmental structure).

Hard to say in bizarro juntaland.  It is either as you say, or it is a bad omen for even further heavy handedness that BJ is famous for.  Either way the masters of the attack dog want him where they can see him. 

Could it be he,s gone "undercover" to bring the hi-so cop killer fugitive to justice.............nah on second thoughts

He was never clean , how ok earth can a clean tourist police captain rise to lt general in less than 2 years and become chief of immigration and tech crimes ?

 

not to mention he owns language schools catering for Chinese ????

because he was effective? 

 

There is a saying in the NFL, "the thing they hire you for is the thing they fire you for" (Coach Cowher) 

Like Icarus, he soared too high in the heavens. The sun melted his wings and he plunged back to inactive earth

the closest thing to Serpico Thailand has ever had.  

Praise be to ODIN.

 

I hope so.

 

Should change his name to Captain Buzzkill.

I have a vague memory that Bldg 1, 20th floor is a very quiet place with little or no activity.

 

Therefore, Police Lieutenant General Surachet Krokphal, Commander of the Immigration Police Bureau Performed duties at the National Police Operations Center, Building 1, 20th Floor, Royal Thai Police Which is absent from the previous position To perform the duties as assigned by the Director of the National Police Operations Center

A Cappuccino actually looking at the beach.

It certainly shows the laziness of many who complain and cannot get off their butts and leave their condo for an hour every 90 days....
