With Provincial Police Region 8 Commander Lt Gen Kitrath Phanphet standing beside him, Gen Wisnu explained that his office had received a formal complaint about Patong Police officers not being paid the legitimate allowances for performing extra work as a result of the pandemic.

Popular Post bdenner Posted October 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 26, 2020 So this "Financial Officer" failed to distinguish the difference between any number of legal recipients and his "brown envelope" manager/accountant. Any wonder why this government is in such a mess! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrong: He did the right thing. He saved the taxpayers a lot of money. Why would he spend time and money to trace himself????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post OnTheRun Posted October 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 26, 2020 Of note, Col Khemmarin is no stranger to investigating disappearing government funds. He was the police officer who blew the whistle on funds from Bangkok that had disappeared after it had been dedicated to the Thailand Tsunami Victims Identification (TTVI) unit set up at Baan Nam Khem in Takuapa, Phang Nga, in the wake of the devastating Asian Tsunami in 2004. Also of note, Col Khemmarin was a police colonel at that time 16 years ago. Since then, his superiors have not advanced his rank. Today, he remains a police colonel. Sounds like the bold colonel <deleted> a few folks off 16 years ago, it would appear disrupting the flow of tea money to your superiors is frowned upon within the ranks of the BiB. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patriot Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Please don’t bring the tuk tuk drivers into it, I can’t sleep at night from weeping over the way their industry has suffered over the past six months. These selfless, helpful and generous ambassadors of Thai hospitality are hurting now ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
