BestBitterPhuket Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 The Thai police is an absolute joke. How can a country a obsessed with face, have a police force that is nothing but a (bad) joke. Is Gen Prayuth proud of his police force? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elgordo38 Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Three Major Generals and two Colonels??? I'm probably being too cynical, but I somehow think that the officer who was shot must have been related to someone important. Yes you have to do your homework before you shoot somebody.

elgordo38 Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 We all know that no "gambling dens" operate in Thailand without "protection" from the Royal Thai Police (assuming of course that they aren't the ones actually "running" them in the first place). The one that operates a few soi's away from me is "owned" by a senior RTP officer, and he has a lovely house(s), multiple nice cars etc ... I was told he was pulling in 50-100k profit per night, and that excludes what gets pushed higher up the chain. I would guess this is why there are no legal casino's to much competition.

boomerangutang Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 All these transfers ....to where, pray tell? my district? your district? Each police station has a holding cell or two. Put 'em in there for kryssaches. dock their pay. Feed em watery rice soup, and find out whether they're guilty as charged. Oh, just remembered. If they're put in a local jail, police buddies of theirs will sneak them out the back door when no one is looking. Ok, nevermind, transfer them.

Squeegee Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 But but but Thai police cannot possibly be transferred to an inactive post since they are already in one as far as most policing is concerned. This is proof of the poor quality of English language skills here, or the headline would be: ...Transferred To An Even More Inactive Post Than The Last One.

boomerangutang Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 There should be a Ministry of Inactive Posts. It would be one of the largest ministries, by numbers, but not as large as the ministries which employ tens of thousands of accountants (mostly young and female) - who accomplish nothing more than crunch billions of numbers which contribute nothing to society or the taxpayers who pay their salaries. Sorry gals, but if ever there was a do-nothing job, yours' is it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johpa Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Dream job being transferred. Do nothing and get paid. They are transferred to a position where they can only receive their official salary, basically retirement as the major activity of the upper echelons of the RTP is involved in work that greatly increases the official salary for those at the top. Not every local police at your local amphoe owns a bar, gambling den, or brothel. But those who do choose that career path are the ones who have the ability to pay their way up the career ladder. And those who make their way up the ladder and then shake the ladder too much are then tossed off the ladder and become inactive as there are some rules, although those rules can be vague and applied unevenly.

harveyw Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Does anyone ever get sacked over here for gross misconduct or corruption or is it just off to an inactive post on full salary and pension pot until retirement age .no wonder the fight against corruption is going very slowly nowhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This possibly is because to climb the ladder in this institution you have to buy the desired position with big money, also the reason it is so corrupt.

I'm probably being too cynical, but I somehow think that the officer who was shot must have been related to someone important. Wouldn't 'not respecting higher authority enough to properly report the incident' be enough grounds? My guess is they are involved up to their eyeballs in this gambling den and the big brass is pissed they tried to hide something so major as the shooting of an officer. They insulted the brass, big time; maybe they weren't passing along their 'tribute'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rametindallas Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Police in Thailand should be moved every year from one are to another area to avoid them getting involved and over friendly with the local gangsters and having their fingers in to many unsavoury pies.

The Deerhunter Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 The next list of section 44 de-recruits from public positions is due in a few days. Lets hope the office space in the "transferred to inactive post department in BKK" gets depopulated a bit. 45 names on the first list. The next one will be interesting to see. It could be much bigger. (Hope) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rametindallas Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Do they ever fire and/or imprison any of these slugs ?? I assume the Royal Thai Police Operation Centre is also the hub of inactive posts. Must be full of the finest police minds. If they prosecute them, they will go to court and their defense may bring out some information that might incriminate other officers and then the whole 'house of cards' could come tumbling down. It is better (from the police perspective) to put them where they can't involve in direct corruption but are still receiving a paycheck so that they keep quiet.

boomerangutang Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I'm sure I've met some of the 'transferred to inactive posts' alumni. For example, at a border crossing, it's not unusual to have an officer dealing with your passport, who is glum, mind in a haze, no eye-contact, no words (only a grunt or two). Police in Thailand should be moved every year from one are to another area to avoid them getting involved and over friendly with the local gangsters and having their fingers in to many unsavoury pies. The State Police in Louisiana USA, get transferred every three years; like clockwork. No exceptions. I have often crossed the in and out of Burma at northernmost Thailand. The tiny office on the Burmese side may have the world record for transfer of officers. A farang could go through that checkpoint for 300 days in a row, and every day there would be a different crew in there. They're all personable and friendly, though - a far cry from the officials on the Thai side - mentioned above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone else noticed, that the super investing, unusual wealthy honorable Chief of Police Mr Somyot is more frequently pictured without uniform? Political ambitions?? That would be very bad!! As you say, he's super rich and was 'hand-picked' for the top RTP job by the Generalissimo. He's seen less and less in his RTP uniform because his trusted stock broker gets edgy when he visits his office wearing it. When this photo was taken he'd either been to, or was returning from another 'buy/sell' consultation in the 'city'. I wish he would always wear his suit. Dressed in casual clothes our Somyot is a dead ringer for Hawaiian ace guitarist Kaipo Asing. Kaipo is one heck of a nice guy and an incredible talent, which is where the resemblance ends.
