CIB police commissioner and deputy abruptly transferred

[Scully]

Hmmmm...... "The Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) commissioner and his deputy..."

I hope they are responsible for considerable upcoming loss of face for Thailand over a certain matter.

Is that too much too hope for?

Far too much since CIB wasn't responsible for the Koh Tao investigation.

You do know one of the CIB's vision's is to help, assist and provide safety for tourists.

Yes. Was either of the men removed the head of the Tourist Police?

Well considering the tourist police is a division of the CIB then yes.
