What stupidity.  Cars do not bring pleasure.  He should have had 29 beautiful Thai ladies living in the mansion on salary.  Money well spent and helping the Thai economy instead of Germans auto makers.

 

That would cost a lot more than the cars!

Was he the head of police in Nakhon Sawan or the local drug syndicate? 

I'd guess both.  the cars are worth a fortune and only extorting money from drug traffickers may not make enough; trafficking the drugs would make much more.  Would be interesting to see where he got the cars, I'd guess at the auctions of seized assets of drug traffickers where the person who makes the arrest gets a cut of the money paid.  Good earner, pay someone to get the car, arrest them, seize the car for auction, then buy back at reduced price; and then get a percentage of the auction price back.

I'm sure, all of those cars belong to a lately deceased close friend of the honorable colonel. 

There will be two groups hunting this killer. The first group who want to catch him, that will be the small group that keeps getting harrassed by the higher ups not to look too deeply because they won't want the rotten cop ratting out them if he gets caught.

 

The second group, which will be the larger group will want to find him in order to permanently shut him up . That's the group currently shuffling their illegal assets and cash around trying to find new hidey holes.

I think there is more to the story than we are being told, e.g. for this senior cop to hold such a position means he bought his way to the top, as he did all the cars and the luxury house on a 43,000 baht salary.

 

What I am saying is that he was the Tony Montana of Nakhon Sawan and would take out anyone who tried to dip their toes into his waters so to speak.

 

My sister-in-laws boyfriend was dealing small time in yaba, maybe 6-12 pills to some of the locals in the village, local cops set him up with a large stash and he is now doing 10 years, he didn't know he was dealing in their territory, words from their mouths and being too poor to educated to try and fight the charge, he sits in a crowded sell, now 3 years and hasn't seen his son who was born a month after he was inside.

no big surprise.

the way the police operate in this country, is normal.

expenses more than salary.

hey, what is 13 cars, a problem?  who paid?

he borrowed them from a dead friend.

a luxury villa?

Good if they catch more this most rich dirty police but dirty cops are all over Thailand! In our amphoe police's sell drugs and corruption shows noticeably. Even in small village cops has most big and nice houses and new cars.One time  head of amphoe police oder check point to all highways and say cops under him "i need 1 million bath". So check points was on so long that ahole get hes million! Funny thing is , this cop wage (Joe Ferrari) is smaler than my wife's (from governement work) still i havent seen wife has buy many cars.

The power of compound interest and business savy.  

Not only a dirty pig with the snout in the trough, but a very greedy dirty one! Why do they never get enough and why do all the people working hard on low salary keep ud with it??

I don't feel any sympathy for the meth drug dealer.

Just think about it.

What does it stand for RTP

What a show off.

 

He's pretty young also.  I wonder how he even got that position so fast?

 

It takes some to aquire and accumulate all this wealth and cars.

 

There's got to be SO many people involved!

 

No way this would go unnoticed.

They will never find him. He knows too much and has probably already been suicided.

Lamborghini, Porsche, Bentley all part of wanted Nakhon Sawan cop’s fleet of cars

 

The Customs Department said on Wednesday that Pol Colonel Thitisan Uthanapol had helped seize 368 illegal cars since 2011 and should have earned some 400 million for his work.

29 cars and nobody suspected anything till now…..

Can’t help thinking of my early years in Customs, when I had to report to the regional head of the organization to explain how I got - and paid for - my rusty 5 yrs old VW Beatle. Those were the days…..

And the coverup has already started. He apparently has a stellar record in confiscating illegal cars. He also keeps them by the looks.

The Customs Department with its stellar reputation has now stepped into the spotlight with this rescue attempt. These officials just don't learn, they truly believe in their own invincibility (just like a teenager).

Where the heck did he get the money to buy a Honda Civic....? This needs serious investigation....????

Result of hard work. Definetely ????

He may have had a salary of 43k baht a month, but he was a KILLER investor!

Thitisan Uthanaphol - the aforementioned general

Jo Ferrari has as much stuff as the Red Bull guy.  On Jo's salary it would take him 2000 years to buy those cars.  

whoever said crime doesn't pay was living in a dreamworld

I suspect there is no gift tax in Thailand and, of course, there's no need to disclose anonymous donors. Very convenient for the politically connected and influential characters in the land of smiles.

He is a man of taste and very devoted to the cause so we will forgive him his past wanderings .... some triffles in fact.

No luxury watches though.

GF says he probably bought all the cars at drug confiscation auctions. Yeah!

It would be faster and cheaper to kill the drug dealer and then take his ride.

A nice job to get a cut and make millions.  In other professions you get a nice bonus at the end of the year if your unit beat expectations, but here you beat the suspect and then beat the system.....ah the gravy train.

The official Thailand is a failed state, simple as that! 

Nobody had seen anything before, despite having such a self-profiling pr1ck roaming the streets in cars for which his salary would not pay the road taxes and fuel for? 

Living in a THB 60 million Baht estate and everybody knew exactly, that he is yet another pristine example of the Thai police? 

What are his superiors driving, in what kind of shacks do they live? 

Every country has the government it deserves and that includes all those crooks in all those endless government offices, ministries and forces. 

Sickening, just sickening and, wherever you look, same same same same same same same! 

This is just a continual pattern that's been going on for decades. 

Look at the Blue Diamond affair in 1989.  Murders are just the norm.  Extortions, cover-up killings, getting rid of witnesses etc.  

 

More recently is the current sitting deputy agriculture minister Thammanat Prompao, who spent 4 years prison for conspiracy to import heroin to Australia.  It basically shows little repercussions for criminal behavior. One may argue because it is just so entrenched in all levels of government.  

 

Another shocking insight into corruption is evident in the TV drama series 'The Serpent', based on the true life of a serial psychopath killer, who was drugging and murdering hippies, who was allowed to walk out of a Thai prison.  

 

Scores of other examples.  

 

Best to keep well away from anything to do with Thai police and government.  Terrifying.
