tonysilly Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Pay them 25,000 bht per month and housing allowance. That is fair? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacceka Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Um... If bribery and corruption is unlawful, arrest them. Is your job I think. Isn't it? May as well start from the inside and work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chivas Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Somewhat incredible in the first place that he admits/knows Officers take Bribes in the first place.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

English 1 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 As the Survey's always say.......... Question: Is it OK for Politicians and Police to take Bribes Answer:: YES if we get something out of it! It's endemic in Thai culture and the Good General/PM will not change that mentality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F4UCorsair Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 No good, chief, just telling them. Catch some of them taking bribes, punish them and then what you say will be heard by the others. Unfortunately, bribery and corruption has been flourishing for many years in the RTP. Fortunately, the new government is here to change things, and they will. Give them time....... Exactly Costas. As Emperor Qing said.....kill one, frighten a thousand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, bribery and corruption has been flourishing for many years in the RTP. Fortunately, the new government is here to change things, and they will. Give them time....... Pay them a decent wage and then this would'nt be happening. How is a young policeman expected to live on Bht8000 per month and no police housing. The whole situation is ludicrous to say the least. Pay them a decent wage and they will value their jobs, the riff raff will quickly fall by the wayside and Thailand might just get a decent police force. Couldn't agree more - especially in Pattaya or Bangkok where young girls are raking in several times that amount a month for a "night shift"! And with the minimum of training too!

John1thru10 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 At least he says it!!! I prefer that a lot more than pretending they never would! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookee68 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 The problem is not catching these people, they get caught every day, it is what they do to them when they do catch them, NOTHING ,for example, a person steals money from a tourist, gets caught, gets 500 baht fine, and pays it out of the money he just stole, They get caught every day, but they know it is a little slap on the wrist then back out again, Try getting tough, maybe that might help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't stop them if you paid them 1 million Baht a month they would still want 1 million and 1, it is rooted here and most other places if allowed to go unpunished. Thailand is by no means on its own, it just doesn't really hide it as well as countries like the UK. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapeThai Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Speaking of young, how did a guy that young get to his position. Lucky to have the brother he has. Let's just first give the man a chance to see if his words will turn into action before judging him. It will soon be seen what he's made of. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly ... it's like telling a woman not to look for a husband, or a wolf not to eat sheep ... ludicrous until wages are commenserate with responsiblity and risks . . . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
