Grow a pair. For God sake what is wrong with what they have done if off duty. In fact I think they are selling their service cheap. I would use the service 6,000~10,000baht for a chauffered hassle free night out sounds OK. However there is always the chance you end up getting a shake down by those paid to protect...

The lesson to be taken away from all this, of course is "don't get caught" - it simply spoils the boondoggle for all the others.

Maybe someone out there explains the general his job as a prime minister. He is the boss over all ministries including the interior ministry. The latter is responsible for domestic affairs like the police force. The police should, repeat   S H O U L D   protect people and property; in Thailand the police has many other unwritten duties. Under the police you find the immigration department.

I assume that explains the mess in immigration, the corruption in the police and the over corruption in the interior ministry ......... question is only .....   W H E R E   does the bucket stop?

The return of Apichart Suriboonya Previously the head of Interpol Thailand and banished 3 or 4 years ago to a desk beside the toilets in HQ that is one of the legendary inactive posts. The Thai media are well aware of this fact and that he was seated on the golden throne during the Koh Tao debacle and rumoured that he benefited financially. And there is more. And HE is rolled out to be humiliated.

So, that means three days before we forgotten everything?

It might seem like it's a good idea that this has been exposed. But it's not going to somehow suddenly make the police more honest. It's going to make them seek other ways to make up for the lost revenue. I just hope that those other ways don't involve me.

Finally he said that the Tourist Police were not just an entity that worked within the framework of the RTP but were connected to the tourism ministry working for the promotion and good of the country. 

OK then, 60% corruption from RTP and 40% from Tourism Ministry (Phiphat going "huh?!?").

It's nice to be working for the good of the country. Too bad the country doesn't know what's good for it.

tip of the iceberg - more scams than days of the year

Why do I get the feeling there would be no crimes committed if they got rid of the RTP?
