It’s a growing industry, but fortunately, when there, they don’t have to do anything productive. 
Still plenty of positions in the “moved sideways” vacancies. Rumour has it that new offices are under construction to house them. Of course many brown envelopes have been handed out for the contracts to construct them. 
Everyone is a winner in the BIB world. 

The franchise which is more or less a pyramid scheme in itself, could not function otherwise.

was at jomtiem immigration today...i think a ten minute investigation would uncover a lot of nefarious visas being procured in preferential ways for a brown envelope properly distributed..

Possibly, but how many were connected to Chinese businessman?

Not many, YET, but aren't they on their way over from Phuket as we speak?

Non Chinese need to participate in the corruption on an individual basis. 

 

Chinese (practicing their domination of nearby countries as client vassals) can organize it all on a mass scale.

no idea but sure are a lot of "agents" there that appeared to my eyes to be getting special treatment and i suspect that might result in a few thank you envelopes to some immigration bosses who enable it....

It's just hearsay for now, but a high ranking official mentioned me that the authorized size of the "Inactive Post" division is going to be increased. It's to be funded by CCP discretionary Belt and Road Benevolent fund.

As you mentioned, there’s going to be a lot of desks in the ‘boondocks’ filled with pi$$ed off policemen twiddling their thumbs trying to work out ways to supplement their income !!!

The vast majority of these posts are inactive anyway.

Maybe not "all the way to the top."

The National Police Policy Board is chaired by PM Prayut. It is the Board that must approve promotion of police generals to national police chief. Prayut has been PM since 2014. Many times over the last several years Prayut has promised to eliminate government corruption. 

"Many times over the last several years Prayut has promised to eliminate government corruption."

Being a downright liar is the only one thing this unelected PM has in common with the normal politician that he claims to be.

He is truly a man of the people then.

"including three generals, "   not sure but I believe Thai Generals are usually in inactive posts, unless they are protecting Thailand from free and fair elections.  Lucky that Thailand has plenty of spare Generals....

When this scandal broke a couple of weeks ago, the head o)0f Immigation Police was reported as saying that his people were squeaky clean. I realise now he was talking about personal hygiene......:smile:
