Royal Thai Police spokesman pol Maj-Gen Achayon Kraithong commented on Chinese New Year and the results of 3 months of police work at a briefing yesterday, reported INN.

 

Achayon said it was that time of the year when people of Chinese descent in Thailand spend time with their families and travel and it was important that the Thai police ensured their safety.

 

Chinese New Year was not the time to take bribes.

 

Regarding accepting packaged "gifts" known as "Ang Pao" at Chinese New Year he said that individual police need to check National Anti-Corruption Commission guidelines.

 

"Police work for the public not financial gain," he observed. 

 

Meanwhile it has been a busy three months for the RTP what with the APEC summit in Bangkok, the World Cup and New Year.

More than 12,000 people were arrested for football gambling and 1.7 billion baht in assets were seized. 

 

In the first two weeks of December nearly 8,000 illegal migrant workers were arrested on overstay.

 

There were 34 human trafficking cases and 64 arrests.

 

Crackdowns on drugs resulted in more than 69,000 cases and the arrest of more than 68,000 people.

 

Some 93 million yaba pills were seized.

..........................................................there's another 51 weeks for that!

"Chinese New Year was not the time to take bribes."... the rest of the year it is fine.

 

 

And where is the yaba pills now??

Never hear anything about destruction....

Sounds like this goofball is either living in an alternate universe, smoking too much ganga, drinking too much kool-aid, or simply dispensing nonsensical PR, which only 6 people believe. 

 

The franchisees are doing what they always do. 

"Police work for the public not financial gain," he observed. :):):):):):)

What else could he say?

Lol TIT

that is a very nice story. 

Something new???? When I was burglared a few years back the first thing the police offers ask how much I paid to find the thieves...And a friend who got killed on a motorcycle by a truck, his family had to pay 100k to get witnesses and a policereport... although the truck was surely wrong, but without no paying the RTp would not help

I thought the statistics sounded impressive …. 

Yawn, although I did notice the mask, is that to greet the Chinese ?

I used to give the cop who directed traffic at my Soi a bottle of JW every New Year. Nice guy and he earned it.

Hmmmm….. how long has this been true?…..  i suggest whoever made this statement has no idea what he is talking about. Wearing a police uniform will only confuse readers further?

When you pay big money to get a low paying job there has to be a good motivation, yes? I bet tho it's not a desire to perform a public service. That certainly won't re-pay the outlaid money.

"Best to be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt" might’ve been a useful mantra for him to observe…

Ain't he the guy who gave a citation to the PM for not buckling his seat belt?

 

Oops, that was in another country.

“Police work for the public not financial gain”

 

Yeah, right. So it’s probably out of sheer altruism then that they pay hundreds of thousands of baht to get a high rank in the RTP. 

I guess the joke was on him to day ????

He's just saying what he's expected to say, without actually doing anything. It isn't his job to ensure what he says is acted upon. He knows that, the police know that and everyone else in Thailand knows that too. But he's done his job - without doing anything at all.

The people spouting this are the ones who gain from it most.

What a Heart Warming Article

Any other time we'll look the other way. 

"Police work for the public not financial gain"

 

Well well, this is a fresh new approach.
