A press conference yesterday was headed by the man who is settling into the role as head of the Thai Immigration Bureau - Lt-Gen Sompong Chingduang. 

 

The man who replaced the poster boy of the RTP, Lt-Gen Surachate "Big Joke" Hakparn, is known in the Thai media as Big Oud. 

 

Lt-Gen Sompong told the massed media that he had taken down two foreigners for drug dealing abroad and in Thailand and his men had arrested some Thai lady boys in Pattaya as well.

 

And he gave the media a number to call in case people see foreigners behaving inappropriately.

 

There were some fancy vinyl posters on display that gave all the details, rather in the manner of his predecessor who enjoyed a good visual presentation.

Case 1: Immigration officers in Bangkok arrested Demon Vineeni Jobin, 24, wanted on a warrant for dealing narcotics in the US. He entered Thailand through Suvarnabhumi airport on 12th February 2019 using a passport with the name of Dylan Robert Peck.

 

He was apprehended in the Lumpini, Pathumwan area of the capital last Friday. 

 

Case 2: Danny Denise L. Van Der Vreken, 57, from Belgium was arrested in Pattaya with two bags of cocaine after police mounted a sting operation to buy from the suspect. A search of his room had earlier been conducted.

 

He has been charged with possession of cocaine with intent to sell after his arrest on Tuesday.

Case 3: Following complaints from 2 Indians police in Pattaya moved to arrest three Thai ladyboys. The Indians told the police that the lady boys had got fresh with them in the street. 

 

The Indians refused their advances but as soon as they had fled they realized that a gold necklace worth 18,000 baht and 1,100 baht in cash had gone missing from their persons.

 

A warrant was issued that led to the arrest of the gang at their residence. 

 

They were named as Mr Darun of "Benz", 34, Mr Wichai or "Rose", 24, and 32 year old Mr Winai or "Waan" (sweet). 

 

They have been charged with theft during the hours of darkness using a conveyance in commission of the crime. 

 

All suspects in the three cases are now in custody awaiting the next step in their relative prosecutions. 

 

The Thai media said that the chief asked for the help of the public in reporting inappropriate behavior of foreigners to his teams. 

 

The number is 1178.

The number has been running for a few years already:

 

For non-emergency matters, foreigners are advised to call 1111. The centre, also available 24-hours a day, is staffed by representatives from all 20 ministries to ensure prompt response for all complaints received from foreigners in Thailand.

immigration is part of royal thai police, it's just a division of them, imo they can do all work other RTP does or refuses todo too.

It's just a bit of spin.

The 1178 number is the standard short-code for immigration anyway, nothing special about it.

Inflammatory troll comment removed.

Perhaps you could just call the number and read a list as you seem to be very knowledgeable about the number of 'dodgy foreigners' here.

They do so little that they make a spectacle with posters when they actually get off their butts and make an arrest. 

I just don't get it. What do foreigners have in common with Thai ladyboys, other than having a thingy?

Can't do that, as the Indians and Chinese are the ones that'll replace the soon to be ousted farangs.   Did the ladyboys got the normal fines of 200baht?

Given he arrived at Swampy in Feb and he was only picked up last week that would be a "no" IMO.

 

 

So locate the ladyboys to find the expat criminals? Or vise versa?
