We are on the same page, I think he knows enough about the ins and outs and has certainly raised a high profile as far as the public is aware.

 

The shots to the car could be his doing to show he has been silent long enough, now this, what next, gotta make some more popcorn for the next, and I for one would love to see this guy as PM, see yah Prayut and clowns !!!

Attitudes Aside - it seems (seemed) like he was the only 'honest' one in the bunch... which is what made it dangerous for him

  • I like Big Joke, he certainly turned Chiang Mai Immigration around,but I suspect it maybe reverting back to what it once was,like getting up at 4.00 in the morning to get a ticket .there's n

  • Absolutely. And let’s not forget that the big reason he reached those dizzying heights so quickly was because of Prawit. A man caught bang to rights for corruption.

He is a man that tried to do what was right for the country.  Unfortunately while the powers liked when he was tackling the immigration stuff when it come to being a policeman and looking at corruption of those in charge he got slammed.

 

Not only is this bad for him but it sends a not so good message to all the others that want to do what they were hired to do.

Well, it seems that a lot of people think he is on the run because he is ordaining for 9 days.

 

If he did, as is being stated, resign, I'm going to take the opposite view and say that now he becomes dangerous to those in power. The PM has lost control of him as he is not constrained with how quiet he was (publicly) ordered to be by the PM in his role in the government.

 

I don't have a liking for him per se, but would love to see him perhaps entering politics and see where it goes from there.  He has a lot of dirt on a lot of people.

Does being 'ordained' offer more protection from dangers ?

You mean there is another good one out there somewhere ?   We must live in hope !

This is the start of what i posted a few days ago , when he returns (if he returns) he will be getting a high placed job with a huge salary to .... him up . Why does he have to go to a temple in india, aren't there any temples in thailand that can ordain him ?? Hope he doesn't bring back any other kind of flue or whatsoever from the quality tourists country thailand is aiming for . 

And who didn't see this coming ?  Bye bye,,,,,,,,,,,,  I hear Wuhan's nice this time of year......

He was forbidden by Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha from giving “false” reports to his supervisors or doing anything in the civil service that might contravene an order from his commander.

i.e telling the truth.....

I hope, if he ever goes to another country that the immigration will make him difficult as he does to foreigners.

If he stays with the law, why would they make it difficult, 

unlike many whinging expats in Thailand.

Can it be assumed you have / had problems within Thailand trying to circumvent their fairly generous rules? 

The only straight cop they had in the force, they had to get rid of him.

FORCED TO RESIGN?

????????????????

  He's hoping they won't off a monk.

Has he resigned as reported in the article, or just taken leave of absence - - "left the office" doesn't mean resigned?

Another one bites the dust, it seems the good and probably incorruptible are hounded and presecuted for minor infractions, whereas the corrupt and the so-called elite strut around . 

Feel a cull coming on 

 

Wow to India guess there no Temples here Joke TIT

Good guys out, Bad guys in?

Lol, he was far from straight.

 

Big Joke was the one you have to pay to get the promotions, and at the very centre of it all.

 

His biggest enemy back in the days was Chuwit Kamolvisit, the massage Kingpin turned politician.  

 

Looks like he has lost his protection from some quarters in the Government due to a falling out over the kickbacks in the recent Immigration purchases. 

 

He knows he has to be gone or he will be killed now.

 

Live by the sword die by the sword.

Thailand is no different to other countries, US, UK, Russia, China, etc, etc, mostly run as dictatorships!!

Only one in "Command" & don't 'rock the Boat' or you'll pay the price, one way or anor!!

to become ordained as a Buddhist monk in India for nine days,

This whole temporary monk-hood so many do in Thailand supposedly to gain parents

  some good luck supposedly being the reward ????

 

Is there anything less spiritual than this?

While living in Thailand I saw so many nephews go get their heads & eyebrows shaved for this temporary buy some luck routine

 

Nothing pious about it...nothing religious about it.....just another Thai-ism pray for pay ????

Quote:-

 

"Surachet resigns"

Should this read "forced to resign"??????

So 9 days as a monk is all it takes to rid oneself of all the wrong doing that one as done 

Going to India. 

Am I the only one who wonders if he'll return?

Judging by the ludicrous identification of him as a "good guy", by many in this thread, his "efforts" (getting his mug in front of the camera at every minor pinch in the kingdom) achieved the desired result.

 

But not with those whose own positions he threatened.

 

Just another greedy, ambitious, power seeking actor, in the loathsome pantomime that is the Thai state.

Going to India to be ordained, to show respect to his parents, BS.

He is getting out before he gets topped because he knows too much about the shenanigans of his masters.

This is only "the pause that refreshes". We have not seen or heard the end of BJ. I fully expect that he will figure in seriously to some big time sh*t that will hit the fan in the future.

He will make noise from afar where he is safe (safer).

[He] left the office on Sunday (January 26) to become ordained as a Buddhist monk in India for nine days

 

Wait.  9 days? 

 

That's all it takes to be ordained?

 

Ho, ho, ho.  Merry Christmas!????

So, since I am a bear of very little brain, is he off to be ordained in India, a process which takes nine days, or is he off to India to spend nine days in the monkhood?

9 days, his parents must be so proud!
 

Sounds like a holiday in Goa to me. 

A real cop that tries to stop traditional Thai business will pay the price. Reform in Thailand means change of profiteers, not reduction of corruption. Big Joke committed the sin of attempting real corruption busting and upset the establishment. His Immigration reforms attempts are already being reversed.
