2fishin2 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 No better days are here....corruption is endemic in the thai culture as Kentucky Fried Chicken and 7-11s. It is on every corner of every city, town and village. This is nothing more than lip service and a continuation of the new military's happiness r us campaign. I live here and see it every single day. I see it every time there are roadblocks set up targeting the foreigners on bikes. I see the tuk tuks and taxis ripping off falangs everyday. Nothing will change. And if you think this new Thailand Junta will change anything....I want some of what you are smoking Just this week I called a "visa company" about doing my retirement visa. Nothing special, I had all the documents already printed and photos. They quoted me 30000 baht. I went myself and did it for 1900 baht. Same poop different day....

LivinLOS Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Committee. Monitor. Blah, blah, blah, and then do what? Far better than a committee would be to set up a way where people could anonymously report corruption, submit evidence, and the case is then followed and if possible pursued. If people thought they could do this anonymously.. without dangerous comebacks.. So many more would be willing to come forward. Given its highly likely in the next year or so we will have google glass devices, or even how cheap and discrete current spycams are.. I imagine plenty of people would love to put in some payback. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelepulse Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 This governor is the same as all governors that are here for a short stint, promise, blah blah blah, promise some more, build a statue or two, then move on with thicker pockets with the end result meaning nothing changed, but lips moved.

iReason Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Why do they bother? Maybe they get a budget to set up such committees. That would make sense then. Correct. Then they will pillage that budget, milk the "job" for as long as they can and move on. It's in their DNA. Now HUB of Committees. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suffinator Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 In the land of narcissists and corrupt they set up yet another corrupt committee to combat corruption ... roughly translated ... someone is not getting their dues so they set up a committee to ensure they do. Seriously it's like a serial killer telling the judge they won't murder again and the judge agreeing to release them. If nothing else Thainess is good for a laugh.

Ulic Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Words are cheap and easy, actions are a little better and in the right direction, but it is results that are important. If the Governor can't get measurable change in the right direction he should be replaced. He is the one selecting committee members and giving them there marching orders. I have heard many, many pronouncements from the Governor, usually with a distant time line for change and exactly nothing happens. So I would not hold my breath.

cloudhopper Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 lol reminds me of the departments monitoring fires in the North - every year they confidently state there are no fires in their district because none have been reported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valentine Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Many assume the committee will be getting paid along with a few free lunches but these provincial heads already have jobs & I am sure they will not be meeting outside of their normal work hours so basically they should not be getting paid extra to do a job they should be doing anyway. I wonder if there is a way to check this or am I in an alternate universe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oziex1 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I ask the clever and informed members particularly those on Phuket, as last year I watched the demolition of illegal constructions on Phuket beaches. What was the real agenda behind that action and has it continued? Haven't seen much news on it recently, I moved from Phuket August 2014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reporting corruption is not the problem in Phuket. The courts are overflowing with corruption. It is getting somebody indeed anybody to respond is the problem. The silence of the navy pays testimony to this fact. Twas; Wam Bam and Bye Bye Mam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
