Hope he has full armor suit. He must have really <deleted> off someone.

Does anybody know if Pattaya has a new Police Chief already? 

Commissioned Police Officers get moved to the south for one of two reasons:

 

1) They are looking to fast track to a far bigger position in a year or two

2) They've stepped on the toes of someone senior

The Thai equivalent of being moved from Paris to The Eastern Front.

More context needed. Have there been transfers in the past. Do most transfers to the deep south end in death?  Can transferees change careers? 

At the bottom they state there's a new Immigration Police Chief. Let's hope this doesn't mean all the rules change again!
