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.

Transferred... 

 

Due to the turmoil created by the new visa money rules? 

yeah, the UN is calling a emergency meeting of the security counsel.

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).

[Pib]

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

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

[Traubert]

Hmm, Senior Police Officer withdrawn from active role just prior to formation of new government.

 

I wonder what could be going on there.

[JustAnotherHun]

"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.

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.

[geoffbezoz]

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

[Gecko123]

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.

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. 

[petermik]

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

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....
