Ombudsman: Royal Thai Police Found To Be Most Corrupt

[NewlyMintedThai]

Thaksins ex bother in law--the boss of the most corrupt Agency ??? franchise ??? this news will hurt the family pride with them being so good a roll model for transparency ---pewk

Do'nt forget Thaksin also came from the police ranks

Only a captain.

Worse than Customs?

Never had any problems with Thai Customs....

[GarryP]

Worse than Customs?

I always thought is was the Land Department followed by Customs when talking about actual value. But there's no denying that if we are talking abount individual instances the police would be hard to beat, especially with most main throughfares in Bangkok becoming toll roads at least twice a week and more often just before long holidays.

The only reason the royal thai police force beat out the compitetion for this award is the shear number within the organization. The inactive group is close on their tail, with civil servants and elected officials fast coming up on the inside.

Not trying to deflect from the findings, but where projects/business goes out to tender there is usually a method to alert the preferential operator of the anticipated price range; whereby if a lower or matching price is tendered the debate can be instigated into quality of service, putting the 'unknown' company or individual at a disadvantage........a frequent occurence around the globe I suspect

[terryp]

Finally the recognition they have all worked so hard to attain....I hope they all hang their heads in shame Royally

This is the one word that should not be in the company of the others.

[ScouseTommy]

completely shocked that this upstanding and helpful service is being slandered in this fashion

Yes, or even more common, they fox the specifications so they can only be practically filled by their preferred vendor.

I wonder how many posters on here have added to it through bribing police with cash in order to not be given a driving tickets....

Be honest please.

I was "encouraged" to give a donation once. I have no idea what ticket I would have been given had I not complied, but I'm sure he would have made something up.

[whybother]

Chief Ombudsman Panit Nitithanprapas announced that for the past 12 years, nearly 25,000 cases out of over 26,000 reported to the Office have already been completed.

They would have collected a fortune ensuring that most of the 25,000 cases went nowhere.

I wonder who investigates complaints against the ombudsman.

BIB = Best In the Business.

Be honest please.

Applies to Thai and other Asians/Africans only.

No Farang will even think of paying brib in Thailand, or any where else in this world.

Yeah, of course not. What's a "brib" anyway, is a BIB bribe?

[hkt83100]

What is the position of the Forestry Department?

Be honest please.

Soorreeee. I paid him only 150 baht, after he initially asked for 1600. I said I wanted to take my ticket to the station to pay the bill!

-mel.

[MEL1]

What is the position of the Forestry Department?

Deep in trees, branches and sh*t!

[Pib]

It takes real dedication and effort to maintain a winning record such as this....go Boys In Brown!!!!!

Thai ombudsman plan B, of course!

[CosmicSurfer]

CS

I think you're missing the point. Honest police wouldn't accept your bribe in the first place.

The procedure to follow for an "honest" motorist is so cumbersome and time consuming that we all prefer the "easy" way.

Does anyone ask, why the normal procedure is so much a pain in the a**? Is that just a coincidence? Or is the police really interested in making it easier?

[dominique355]

My son (10) asked me, what would happen if there were no police. I gave it some thought and then replyed: "Nothing".

The law isn't enforced anyway, so why do we actually need a police? Anybody?

[trainman34014]

So; now the Ombudsman has made this 'winning position' official, what does the Thai Government intend to do about it? Call in Thaksins brother and fire him, along with every other high ranking Police Chief, depriving them of any pension entitlements and all the other privilege's these crooks have come to expect? Somehow I think that they will be 'too busy' to worry about such trivial matters.

[garrya]

Thanks for the lots of entertaining comments guys. Brilliant. I am having a laughter attack.

Why would they spend their time on analyzing corruption in Thailand? Would they take steps against it?

Ohh yes, giving away awards for people with GREAT morals. I am still laughing.

[bigbamboo]

I thougt Thai police changed their name to Thai Mafia

They're not all bad guys, some are even good fellas!

Actually the government removed the police chief in Sept 2011, who at the time was quoted as saying "I have been removed for a reason that has nothing to do with my ability or short comings"......there followed the exposure of casinos 'protected' by the police

[KeyserSoze01]

I can imagine the lawyers are warming up the libel cases against said Ombudsmen. How dare he speak the truth in the Miracle of Amazing Thailand or whatever the f$#k slogan they are using this week. If it weren't so sad it would be funny.

[MEL1]

Come on chaps? Give the guys a chance. Karma. Karma.

As Boy George said:

There's a love in your eyes all the way

If I listened to your lies, would you say?

I'm a man without conviction

I'm a man who doesn't know

How to sell a contradiction

You come and go

you come and go

Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Chameleon

You come and go

You come and go

Loving would be easy

if your colours were like my dreams

Red, gold and green

Red, gold and green

---- he got he uniform correct.... as well as the sentiment.

[WackySomchai]

The most corrupt agency in Thailand... that's quite an achievement. I'm sure their boss will be very proud, whoever he is.

Thaksin's ex-brother-in-law.

Does a parrot tend to repeat the same phrases over and over?.......I think Yingluck is a smarter bird than the flock you fly with

Who came third ?? Who's in the top ten ??
