More than enough to manage the monthly repayments on a finance agreement.

So a Porsche costing 7590000 would have payments of say 230,000 per month over 3 years. That's a large slice out of even a doctor's salary.

    How can a police doctor afford a new imported Porche? Is he a friend of Jo?

    Something seriously wrong when a statement like this even has to be made.

    Maybe he borrowed the Porsche from the police station's tea lady.  ????

Blah Blah - numbers please oh knowledgeable one!

You'll have to do better than "blah blah".   Specify what figures you want and I'll try to help you.    A doctors specific medical qualifications and responsibilities and how many hospitals/clinics he serves and the finance terms, you know, price, deposit, term, interest rate, would be good places to start.

The media also said that relatives were due at the station for an initial meeting regarding compensation. 

Makes you winder how much bribery money there is in the police system to pay off would be cases

Only if you ignore the fact that the article stated that the insurers will be there also.   The police are not going to be paying anything off, it's the doctor who will have that liability.

Remember this promise a year from now....

 

This website needs an investigative reporter with a forum called, "Whatever Happened To".....

As in, whatever happened to that doctor (or was he a hospital director?) who ran over a security guard and dragged him down the road and killed him?

 

I think a website like that would make for some very interesting reading.

You're assuming that he has no deposit or trade-in...very unlikely...and you're quoting a short repayment period.  Apart from that you got it spot on!

 

More realistically, if he financed (with a 50%deposit) B3,795,000, at 3% pa over 84 months the monthly payment would be B50,144.   That's not too difficult for a doctor with several positions (as most do have) to manage.

He holds the RTP rank of Lieutenant. You didn't read too much into it, you just didn't read enough.

Oh right OK. This will explain why my gardener is called Major General Admiral Count Otto von Somchai. 

He is a doctor with a police rank. Hence he is a police doctor.

Hence, he's a doctor and he receives doctors salaries, not a RTP salary.

Nice deflection.

You were claiming he was a doctor not a police doctor.

I have corrected you on this.

You may thank me later.

I think you will need to hold your breath for more than 10 minutes for that to happen.

You may think that you have corrected me but you haven't and there was no deflection.  He is a doctor.  He works at the Police General Hospital and has a police title, possibly as a result of that, he's not a "police doctor", he's a doctor.

Finance perhaps, as most people do?   

 

He's a doctor, not a "police doctor" a phrase you seem to be using to suggest that he's not paid that much.

Its not a title. It is a rank. Which means he is in the Royal Thai Police.

As stated in the OP.

probably must first qualify as doctor then three month academy officer commissioning course.

perhaps get their five year doctor course fee debt paid after five years military service plus army officer salary , free accom, etc. tried researching this but no joy……similar perhaps to UK Military where doctors, lawyers, engineers are commissioned directly as Army Captain rank level……

Yeah and dentists too. The ones who cant make it in civie street without getting sued every other week. 

Another qarantine fan-only room then?

 

Sure beats 40 to a cell in remand.

perhaps, but those military trauma surgeons putting back together severed bodies from IED’s must be almost withoit equal anywhere ……probably fast tracked to lieut. colonel after 3-4 years of that…..

Yes, so we agree, he would wear the uniform, as they LOVE uniforms more than the Hugo Boss set -we won't mention the war, so he is both a doctor and a Policeman, just as the US Surgeon General is a doctor and a Naval officer.

Whereas your post was suggesting the media were stirring the pot with calling him a police doctor, and not to read too much into it.

You're almost as good at meaningless excuses as Chicken Wing the Ferrari Ace. Nicely played!

Many of them are highly qualified civilian surgeons who volunteer to do a tenure in the armed forces because of the skills they bring.

They also do it because they gather skills from injuries not seen often in normal life.

They then return to civilian life with those new found skills.

We are getting way of topic though.

Paid by Police admin, the title of Lieutenant is not honorary, it is factual. His salary can be weighted to recognize his medical degree, this happens all over the world, except in your own head, it seems.

I know a dr that works at a few hospitals, she also works at the police hospital and is a police officer with a rank. There are a large number of Dr's that hold police ranks,  i believe  this guys rank is mentioned 

You are correct; a lieutenant colonel and his/her name, which is unusual, (the naming of names). It would be interesting to know how these ranks are attained. Does one train as a doctor, then as a police officer? Or are they honorary titles? I have always heard good things about the Police Hospital in its abilities and facilities, which is not surprising, given their "customer base's" exposure to harm and injury.

 

I thought this was a fair dinkum response acknowledging that I had not read the Sanook article, but it obviously does not meet your standards. My lack of a grovelling apology duly noted, and heartily given to you.

lieutenant colonel, according to Sanook.

You only get special favours for killing people with a Porsche if you are ....... guess the rest

Well the drunk army dentist I had in the late 80's begs to differ.

Numbed the left side of my mouth then started drilling into the right side.

Doctors at the Police Hospital, regardless of titles, are not paid by the RTP.    We are not talking about medical personnel who are employed directly by the police force in this case and that seems to be what you are referring to.
