He, and his wife, both come from wealthy families his wife inherited billions from her father. He joined the police as a vocation, not for the money. That is why they fear him so much, he can't be corrupted by bribery That's not quite true, both families were normal middle class Thai families. His father was a policeman, his mother a teacher, his wife's father started with a bus running from Songkhla Town to Hat Yai, they were childhood sweethearts. Her father built his transport business and expanded into property development becoming very rich in the process. His father was a junior police officer who had close ties with deputy police chief Pol Lt-General Samer Damapong, the father of Thaksin Shinawatra’s ex-wife Khunying Pojaman. So not hi-so Bangkok moneyed families. . Edited Wednesday at 05:41 AM by Stocky 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is reputed to own houses which he would obviously rent and who knows what other investments he has. I don't know if he comes from a wealthy family. On the other hand he could be dumb enough to get involved in online gambling, money laundering and collecting brown envelopes. No matter how rich some people are it's never enough. He who dies with most money in the bank must be the winner. LOL 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no figuring out what really drives these people other than they are desperate to maintain their social position and as a foreigner we have no clue outside of that. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Power Corrupts?... why you believe he is good is beyond understanding, and why you stand up for him is even more unfathomable. time will tell in the meantime you can continue admiring someone who stands for the very corrupt establishment reasonable foreigners and thais alike despise. note, i did emphasise reasonable which you clearly are not. that, or you simply are sycophants Edited Wednesday at 09:51 AM by Pouatchee 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know there is only one way to get to these high profile positions, of which he is aware but that has never stopped his outspoken remarks about the system and people. Who is to say that getting to the top was not his priority, so that he would be in a position to change the system Maybe something happened in his life that changed his outlook or maybe he just has a death wish. Regardless, the system will never be broken/changed from the bottom so i wish him every luck and we all know that immigration was far better with him at the helm.

How does collecting watches or admiring timepieces make him corrupt? Please explain your weird rationale.

PS, I believe what I want. Believe what you want... i dont care In this whole debate, the initial meaning got lost in translation. He is a corrupt cop. Thats it, nothing else. Some brlieve innocently that it is his vocation and he is as pure as the day he was born. Believe that if you want. Cops in thailand are dirty. You think this guy and his team are good? Up to you... keep on dreaming BREAKING NEWS In a decisive move, the Police Commission unanimously voted, 12-0, to approve the dismissal of Deputy Police Chief Pol Gen Surachate Hakparn. This endorsement follows Acting National Police Chief Pol Gen Kitrat Phanphet's contentious removal order I guess he is bring abandoned by all his buddies... bye bye big joke Edited Wednesday at 11:53 PM by Pouatchee 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Meeseeks Posted Thursday at 03:33 AM Share Posted Thursday at 03:33 AM On 6/25/2024 at 7:19 PM, TroubleandGrumpy said: One of the top Police Officers is on social media criticising the PM and threatening to take him to NACC. The PM himself is facing a Court case against him that could result in him being forced to resign. The popular vote winning MFP Party was not allowed to form Government. The Leader of the MFP is facing being sacked and banned from politics for 10 years (they tried to ban him for a media shares technicality). A past PM has returned to the country with a slap on the wrist, and is now working behind the scenes doing who knows what. And so many other political and economic issues are infesting Thailand's leaders as they squabble for power and control post Junta. All while the economy is slowly falling down all around them. And the Military is quietly watching and waiting to see what happens. It's glorious, isn't it? Once a basket case, always a basket case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Thailand, corruption is the norm, it's engrained into the society and culture here as a whole, just like selfishness and greed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if it hurt your ego to be corrected. You really need to work on comprehension and not jumping to unfounded conclusions about issues and people you know nothing about. I know its probably a stretch since you appear to be so fragile but thats on you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroubleandGrumpy Posted Thursday at 05:01 AM Share Posted Thursday at 05:01 AM Seems to me that there are two very possible scenarios. There is one senior cop that is totally corrupt and all the rest of them are clean and are trying to get rid of him before he becomes the top dog. OR One cop is trying to clean out the police system that is endemically corrupt, and they are trying to get rid of him before he becomes the top dog. Based on my observations since 2012, the Police system is endemically corrupt and always has been corrupt. Therefore, logic states that it is one cop trying to clean out the dirty cops, who are trying to get rid of him before he becomes their boss. Obviously. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
