Thai Police Chief Launches Crackdown on Foreign Criminals in 15-Point Plan

[Andycoops]

Meanwhile crime that is indigenous to the country can carry on as normal by the biggest organisation of crime in the nation, while pretending that crime which is perpetrated by foreigners only affects Thai society.

 

As for transparency it's the same old rethortic trotted out every year and the corrupt core continues on regardless.

 

If they made it illegal for themselves to run businesses then it would be a start but of course there is absolutely zero chance of that happening.

How about starting with your own Police Force.

Want to improve Public Safety?

Put some cops on the streets. Put some cops at the intersections. Let them do something other than roadblocks.

Dear Mr. Kittirat

The elephant in the room - not part of your strategy - which would contribute to your goals of

"enhancing public safety" a lot more than your stated 15 points combined .... would consist "in targeting those (who so far this year alone) disrupted the lives of 725'096 Thai citizens and foreigners.

Yes, The wide awake club will be right on the case.

 

 

I also noticed one of them is on the nap...

[black tabby12345]

He reiterated that police must work transparently to gain the public's trust...

 

In other words, he openly admitted They Are Not Currently Trusted by the public...

Might have got busy already - saw 2 cops asking 2 African gentlemen on Soi 11 for their passports.

Aren't the last two or three crackdowns still ongoing?  They must really need a distraction.  🙄

pathetic, this clearly  requires a 16 point  plan

15 points for foreign criminal plan and 1 point for police crime.

Thai police is far from perfect, but in general, I must say that 20 years ago it was worse, with corruption much more common. It was common for foreigners driving in Bangkok being stopped and being asked for money, even when having done nothing wrong.

I always drove wearing sunglasses, to try to hide that I was a farang until I was so close to the police officers that they couldn't safely stop me. And yet Thai police was already much better than the Indonesian Police, for example.

 

It's really a long, long time since I paid my last traffic related bribe. Maybe 10 years ago.

And a long time since I paid my very last bribe in Thailand: for smoking in Sukhumvit and not disposing of the butt properly. The fine was 2,000 THB but we amicably agreed on a compromise and set for half of it. This was maybe five years ago. In the meanwhile, I quit smoking.
