Popular Post 4MyEgo Posted September 18, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 18, 2022 Isn't it strange how something like this always happens after the death of the poor innocent individual/s, then as things settle down (time passing), it's back to business as usual, however the money is still changing hands in the mean time, different boss stepping up from under his old boss who is rubbing shoulders with his superiors in BKK. 10 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post CanadaSam Posted September 18, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 18, 2022 I think his "immediate" transfer may have been based on the fact that the lady did make a complaint about some chinese mafia or something being after her, and then shortly after, she wound up dead. I presume the cops did no investigation into who was after her, nor provided any type of protection or help? 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post wensiensheng Posted September 19, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 19, 2022 No kind of investigation into whether there is systemic corruption/incompetence within that section of the police force then.

That should be food for thought for all the expats on here who keep saying the same mantra: "When you're in a foreign country, you should follow the law!" Those foreign bar owners who follow the law to the letter are always the ones who get in trouble with corrupt police. Paying bribes is illegal in Thailand but if you want to stay in business, you better be a law breaker. Otherwise, you're guaranteed a nasty visit from the mafia...erm I mean the police.

Very true like most stuff here you can never eliminate it is basically control. Here as you noted not by the leadership today or in your or mine lifetime. We both know what is needed but helpless so our solution is to vent out loud here. If we were given the power to do so we wouldn't last a week. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riverhigh Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 "The order is related to this case involving the suicide of a Kyrgyzstan national in Pattaya who had allegedly been tricked into prostitution" Give me break! A chief of police fired because of a foreign woman tricked into prostitution and subsequently commited suicide. The journalist is got to be joking. Us readers of Asean Now may not be the sharpest tools in the shed but we are not that stupid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post jaywalker Posted September 19, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 19, 2022 I used to take my 4 year old daughter to the local pool in Pattaya off Soi Khaotalo. We both loved it. Lots of kids for her to play with, nice restaurant & ice cream. Dutch guy with a lovely Thai wife owned the place. Cops shut him down as he refused to pay bribes for "protection"...from themselves. It was a really, really nice place for kids and parents to have a good time. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
