Former head of Thai immigration and poster boy of the Royal Thai Police Lt-Gen Surachate Hakpan headed to the far south yesterday on a crime suppression mission.

 

The man universally recognised by the moniker of "Big Joke" was meeting all the heads of police stations in Regions 8 and 9.

 

His brief is to suppress crime, assess crime and report on measures being implemented by RTP chief Gen Suwat Chaengyodsuk.

 

The Lt-Gen explained modestly that he was working under the leadership of generals Roy Ingkhaphairoj and Suchart Theerasawat. 

 

Big Joke was the head of the IB until his abrupt removal more than two years ago raised eyebrows.

 

He shuffled paper at the PM's office for a couple of years then was reinstated to an advisory role that has morphed into a more concrete job in crime suppression and reporting. 

 

Many think BJ's star is on the rise again though critics call him an attention grabber.

 

Like him or loathe him he looks like he's well and truly back in the public eye - aided and abetted by the Thai media who love to follow the charismatic cop's every move, notes ASEAN NOW.

His charisma isn't going to pacify any Muslims.

 

Like most people nobody has any trust in these government officials.

 

Theres a bloody COVID 19  wave going on right now down there.

Tell him to bring some pfeizer vaccines. 

 

That would be more helpful.
