INN reported that a police sergeant in Suphanburi, central Thailand had resigned after losing faith in the Royal Thai Police.

 

In his resignantion letter Pol Sgt Chaipat Bunthim said he was fed up with protection of wrong doers and corruption.

 

He had been a cop since November 2013.

 

It also emerged that he was formerly in the military and was a friend of Jakkraphan Thomma, the deceased shooter who went on the rampage at terminal 21 in Korat killing several dozen innocent people in a spree killing that shocked the nation.

Maybe he thought the RTP was an actual law enforcement agency when he joined. How disappointing that would be. 

You know how that works.....disgraced whistleblowers find themselves on the marked blacklist. 

He might be rather cautious as to making his feelings and opinions public.

Speaking truth in the face of deception, obfuscation, deflection, and cover ups can be a terrible thing.

Well said.  He is a man of principle.  If there were more like him RTP would lose its shameful image.  They disgrace the name of Thailand every day they put on their brown uniforms and hold their hands out.

In other articles what this Sgt. described sounded more like a pyramid scheme, RTP meet Amway, focused on recruiting lower-level members and requiring them to meet certain collection quotas. While the folks higher up sit back and reap the income generated.

 

Maybe a bit like the Thai social construct overall, so not surprising?

Kinda funny, with all this concern about face.  Even in certain Latin American countries cops can be reluctant to hit up foreigners out of concern for the country's image.  One Brit fellow told me he was stopped for speeding, the cop told him he's going to let him off because he didn't want the Brit to go back to his country and tell people how the cops in Brazil are b*stards.
I would think there'd be more of that kind of vanity here.

This kind of farsightedness does not exist here.  Thais live in the now.  The taxi mafia in Samui/Phuket/Pattaya/Bangkok will ultimately decimate tourism. RTP will complete the job.
