Popular Post jaidam Posted October 12, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted October 12, 2013 Becoming more like N Korea every single day. Camronwit receiving an award? Well, I suppose him and Chalerm did solve Ekkayuth's murder before it was even committed so that was quite impressive. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaltsc Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 "A total of 16 awards will be conferred on outstanding policemen by Criminal Reporter and the Photographer Association of Thailand ..." Outstanding policemen who don't solve crimes makes the Criminal Reporter and the Photographer Association of Thailand's job a lot easier by not having to leave their offices to cover any stories....Other than the their awards ceremony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post mca Posted October 13, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted October 13, 2013 Further awards were handed out for "Most eagle-eyed at extorting money by spotting upcountry numberplates to stop the poor bugger who doesn't know Bangkok and was in the wrong lane." " Consuming the most amount of JW Black Label after work at a local restaurant with his cronies and still riding his motorcycle home in one piece." "Having the most decadent lifestyle in proportion to his actual take home salary." "Biggest c**t award." ( Lot of competition there). 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurnell Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 My experience with Thai police so far: 1. Pattaya cops pulled me and the msz over when I was taking her to hospital for food poisoning. They sadistically made her wait while the entire group searched through her bag consisting of lipstick, ID card, purse with small notes and change, then laughed as we left. 2. Called Lumpini police to report some idiots throwing bricks into our apartment compound. The dozey copper mumbled 'call tourist police' before going back to sleep. 3. Stepped on a drunken cop's foot in a club and his mate insisted I sit and buy them both a beer before I could move on. Which one is deserving of an award? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post expat888 Posted October 13, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted October 13, 2013 If you haven't noticed, the BiB are out in force because it's October. They are collecting money to pay for their kids tuition for the second term. They will be out in force again just before Christmas. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richardjm65 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Long, long ago, the British military used to issue a medal called 'the long service and good conduct medal'. The cynics amongst us thought it would more truthfully have been awarded for '12 years of undetected crime'. Any similarities here? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siampolee Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 (edited) No doubt the awards are or will be replicas of Saudi Gems that were and possibly still are so beloved by senior politicians and police officials as we have seen so plainly in the past when those nice honest police general wives lined up for the photo sessions at the annual police ball sups and wine sessions Edited October 13, 2013 by siampolee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halion Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Confused. The headlines states that these awards will be conferred today, however, article ends with the notation that they will be given out on the 30,th Oct. Why do they need two separate junkets for this dubious recognition.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do they need two separate junkets for this dubious recognition.? The headline doesn't say anything about the date that the awards will be given. But it is very simple to understand; the report states that the awards will be given on 30th October to mark National Police Day, which is today.

ratcatcher Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Interestingly, unlike the threads dealing with politics, this thread has not yet attracted a poster with one good thing to say about the Thai Police Farce. I am convinced that buried within the ranks of thousands of so called crap cops there are several hundred men and women who deserve these awards more than these bemedaled senior guys. No doubt truckloads of whisky will be consumed at the Police Club to celebrate these heroes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's a fair point there are some good cops, but the BIB as a whole is just a large scale organised crime syndicate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benmart Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Police are under the microscope worldwide. Rigorous enforcement often gets complaints for being too rigid, harassing the public and being impersonal. Lack of enforcement often results in a torrent of criticism and name calling. There are dedicated, professional police officers in Thailand as well as dishonest, lazy ones. I would challenge readers to be objective in their comments and base them on personal experience. Second and third hand "expert opinion" are meaningless and raise doubts about the credibility of the poster. Many people have no idea of the dynamics of law enforcement or the goals of police departments. I don't profess to know all about the RTP, but reserve my comments from actual contact and observation. So far it's been limited to seeing them patrolling, directing traffic and issuing citations. Just my 2-Bahts worth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
