bander Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 First removed, then back again, is this a Big Joke or did he bribe himself back to the top ranking employment in RTB? Just curious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pib Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 If he comes back as "Assistant Commissioner" that's a step down and a two star position versus the three star position he held before. I expect they are just trying to find a place to quietly keep him until he decides to retire. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Thai_Police#Rank_structure 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dumbastheycome Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 3 hours ago, Expat Tom said: One more mark in the plus column of reasons to leave Thailand for Vietnam. My visa is up in Feb and I'll be gone by December. I have loved my many years here but it is time for a change. The powers that be don't want Farang like me who bring in 100,000 baht per month and spend it all but Vietnam and the Philippines have open arms and the welcome mat is out. Really? wow! I have escaped the forced evacuation criteria for 20% of that for over a decade. Can't foresee any change to my reasonably happy comfortable situation. But I can understand that the comparative approximate 6% lower living costs in Vietnam might be of consideration despite the lower average infrastructural quality at this time. However I am not a nomad. I am a family man. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I respect your overall thinking, @ExpatPH, please allow me to disagree on topic. In a tiny minority, yes, but I am pleased to see the new regulations and to see the trend to even more. The reason is that I support the goal of, "Good guys in; bad guys out." Expats here now who won't comply, must leave. That's too bad -- for them -- but its not my problem. The poor expats, the retired hooligan expats, the congenitally angry expats, can all leave and I'll smile as I wave good-bye. Nobody's asking me, but if they did, I'd say raise the required money to 1 million or 2 million or 5 million baht. Plus mandatory health insurance. Send around an inspector every 90 days to check on where I live -- I'll invite him in for a bit of cool air, offer him an iced coffee each time. Require a police report from my home country -- I've done it before (for another location), and I can do it again for Thailand. Overall, I highly approve of all the new regulations and "get tough" policy. And I am arranging my life here to comply with the recent changes (such as more money in the bank for longer time) and to comply with possible changes beyond those. I welcome critique on any of this -- including in thoughtful private messages. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chama Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 9 hours ago, Wiggy said: He’s probably got some dirt on someone near the top. Thats my guess as well. He probably had a powerful backer who was able to negotiate with the powerful individual that felt threatened to have BJ sit in the corner for a few months so he knows that he can't rock the system with impunity. He was to valuable as a poster boy to point at and say the RTP is doing it's job and protecting society. They have plenty of members of the RTP that go int the other direction. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it has the same meaning as, “some animals are less equal than others”. You’re a ‘farang’. You’ll always be one here. If you want people to respect you, you’ll have to respect yourself first. Big Joke will never reach the dizzy heights he enjoyed before. Why? Because that would mean the person who demoted him losing face. And not just said person. Everyone else who went along with it.

PerkinsCuthbert Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 (edited) One recognises that there are legions of this guy's supporters among the serried ranks of crusty farang ThaiVisa readers, but frankly I don't give an apricot toss for him, his modus operandi or his policies, which at best scoop up the already-fallen or low-hanging fruit, while leaving everything else in place, and meanwhile getting up the noses of the powers that be of the Kingdom.
