Potjaman’s Nephew Defends Self Over New Posting At Phuket Airport

[webfact]

 

POL.COL.PADTHONGTEW DAMAPONG, nephew of de facto Pheu Thai boss/convict at large Thaksin Shinawatra’s former spouse Potjaman Damapong, has defended himself over his otherwise contentious transfer as immigration superintendent at Phuket airport.

 

The police colonel today (Dec.3) posted on his Facebook page to say he has been named immigration superintendent for Phuket airport whilst another police colonel has resigned after he had performed as immigration superintendent for Phuket province.

 

The newly-named immigration superintendent for Phuket airport was apparently referring to Pol.Col.Thanet Sukchai, the former immigration superintendent for Phuket province who has called it quits in what was seen as a tacit protest of his having been transferred from the tourist island to Hua Hin.

 

According to Potjaman’s nephew, his recent transfer to Phuket airport and the resignation of the former immigration superintendent for Phuket province were apparently a coincidence regardless of his being related to the de facto Pheu Thai boss’s former spouse.

An "Untouchable" in charge of immigration in Phuket, good luck complaining about long waiting lines...

And the anti Thaksin hate campaign continues.

I do not remember reading any complaints when Prayut's brother was promoted in the police force during Prayut's reign.

Again, this type of thing happens all of the time - since Noah was a lad. But it is only news when 'Thaksin' is in the headline. Strange eh?

 

BJ was another popular press headline grabber. All quiet now since he became a monk for a year.

 

Also Chuwit was 100% certain to grab headlines. Sadly he is about to 'shed his mortal coil'.
