Can you tell us which bars or point me to the article which I must have missed?

Curious how you would know for sure that they all "had all the correct papers and licences"

Maybe he owned them and refused to pay the police "bar fine"

[actonion]

Many Chief's of Police in Pattaya have been removed more times than a bar ladies underwear...

[kcpattaya]

I feel sorry for all the "business entrepreneurs" that thought to have "secured" their business venture by becoming "friends" with K Kunlachart Kunlachai...
What a waste of brown envelopes, now he is gone. Have to start all over again.

[Accidental Tourist]

why is this shocking? It's Pattaya and will never ever change...PERIOD

[shackleton]

Corruption  at its best 

As all ready mentioned maybe there should be checks in place to investigate  some of the wealth obtained by 

These police commanders ????

There goes a lucrative source of income and the pile of cash he paid to get this job...

You mean he can't claim a refund if the product doesn't perform to expectations?

That's not fair.

the only thing I have seen recently from Pattaya police is shutting down bars for no good reason - but I think everyone on here knows the reason, all the bars that I have seen shut had all the correct papers and licences ............ go figure 

You are one of the anti-cannabis posters yes?

 

Yet you seem very familiar with "bars".. you know, the places where they sell that harmless "social lubricant" alcohol..

 

Mmmm yeah...

Only until the dust settles on this case then he'll slip into another profitable slot.

Perhaps inactivity to vulnerable witnesses is not the norm anymore with the police.  That will last a week, then back to normal.

The RTP are a national embarrassment and a disgrace. Everyone knows they are all simply franchisees, and perform very little law enforcement work. 

 

IMMEDIATELY transferred to the National Police headquarters in Bangkok Sunday (Sept. 18) was the superintendent of Pattaya City police station. Part of the problem? When this guy should be facing charges and looking at prison time, he is being coddled and protected, at full pay. 

 

Do they even thing for a nanosecond, that we take them seriously, on any level? 

[toofarnorth]

Is it only me or have others looked up Kyrgyzstan ?

I am not anti-weed and yes I do take the odd beer now and again but I don't abuse it and I don't drink and drive, I have other reasons why wide spread use of cannabis is quite frankly wrong - here's a clue - alcohol is bad enough with having a population spaced out on another drug, also there is strong evidence that long term use and abuse of cannabis causes issues with the brain, I happen to know a couple of long term cannabis users and they are quite unstable and have problems that I won't go into

All bars and massage parlors should have CCTV with good quality microphones in offices. Record all discussions with police. Avoid defenestration by revealing information anonymously.

If you go to a police station to complain, put your mobile phone on the table with recorder on. 

It might not work but friends and family will know what happened later, at least. 

[Seppius]

And his first job was to close all the bars at midnight last night

American police, or all Americans?

This whole country's run on corruption. It's a fact of life which everyone who comes to stay should realise in a short space of time. If you want an easy life here, you have to comply with the system. I actually prefer it to too much law and order like there is in the UK. If you want to buck the system here, you will either end up disappointed, deported, or dead, depending on how much you rock the boat and whose boat you choose to rock.

Oh no, the reputation of Pattaya Resort is blemished.

[sambum]

"Pol. Col. Kulachat Kulchai, the head of Pattaya City police station, was replaced by the station’s deputy chief Pol. Col. Mekawit Praditphon from today till the end of the month."

 

And after that? A Welcome Back" party? 

[bristolgeoff]

Back on the leash. Much less chance to make huge tea money I imagine.

Exactly! 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.

Virtually every business is in the book.

Monthly payment.

Taxis, bike taxis, street sellers, bars, gold shops...

The list goes on.

I'd sack every last one of them after checking their bank accounts. I mean these guys are so useless they cannot find evidence of prostitution in one of the cities with the most prostitutes in the world

That's because they are running it.

[PoorSucker]

Do you think he'll complain about how much he paid for the position as the police chief some years ago when he was transferred to the railroad police?
