My brother in law is a Thai cop and there are a few in the family. I know they all have two lines of income with one being declarable. Some years ago when my brother in law was buying a very expensive house, I queried why he was taking out a huge mortgage. My wife explained to me that the police were never turned down for bank loans as they were backed by government guarantees. His Mercedes was also bought on finance too. Clearly his police wages wouldn't cover such debts so I wonder where the extra money comes from ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They get cheap loans, so do other government officials. So because it is a low interest loan they ask for more. The bank does not ask the same questions as they would ask you or any other Thai not working for the state. Ask the teachers? Same same but different. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0815 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 There are a few business options for police officers' spouses already. Bars, massage shops with happy ending, karaokes. Did I forget something ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KiiGiam Posted January 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 30, 2021 What can one even say here? It is one of these enjoyable Thai things in that they inquire and are open about the debt itself (I can't imagine assessing this in any other country, let alone reporting it) and yet just as openly pretend that everyone does not know the cause. Obviously if they were ever serious about this, senior officials would investigate people living 70,000b a month lifestyles on a 25,000b a month salary and banks would not loan money to someone whose official income does not support it. It is a nudge and a wink all the way up and down the chain and this is accepted. In a way, it is fine by me because this petty corruption oddly enough, allows for more actual freedom for people in real life. It allows places to stay open late and some victimless crimes to be allowed to pass without creating a big stink about it, but don't expect anyone to shed a tear for either the police nor the banks to which they owe money. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobU Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 I don't understand this. The police are being paid as usual no one is laid off because of COVID. They have a regular income. Why do they take out loans they cannot afford to repay? Why are they trying to live beyond their income? What Does a Thai Police officer get Paid? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suwat told Thansettakij newspaper that around 209,000 officers had taken loans to support their family or to purchase large items such as cars or houses. The police chief said he has asked Krungthai Bank and the Government Savings Bank to suspend debt payments. He is also seeking ways of generating more revenue for his subordinates. One idea is to set up a market for police spouses to run businesses. Another is to look at assets confiscated by the Anti-Money Laundering Office. He added that he has contacted corporations to request scholarships for police officers’ children. Suwat also pledged to give a live internet broadcast explaining the police force’s mission and allow members of the public to question him in real time. “I will not hide anything and am ready for all questions,” he said.

DUNROAMIN Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 If they actually did real police work, and not be lollie pop boys at school time, book everybody for speeding, no helmit, illegal parking, drunk driving, basically all traffic violations, then the government would have enough revenue to pay them better salaries. And who creates the debt, they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are struggling so much, they should all kick their mai nois into touch.???????? I knew a girl who had a phone shop in tesco lotus, her BF was a policeman, and she subsidised their income by selling hand guns from the shop that her BF supplied. So setting up a market for spouses may be a good idea, they could sell all the contraband disguised as the police welfare markets.

Now all the bars are shut down due to C19, I guess the protection money has dried up, the drug money also must be taking a hit. Maybe they could also start giving out tickets for no helmets, children riding motorbikes, dangerous driving ect. Oh I forgot the revenue they could make from speed cameras, but that money doesn't come in brown envelopes. In fact if they controlled the roads legitimately the police dept would have a huge revenue boost. We have just seen Thai Airways go down due to corruption bonus incentives. The police take their bonuses for lunch money and new pickups ect. How do you fix that????? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
