kiwikeith Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Wow. That is news. The Thai coppers accused of extortion. I am sure that no copper in China would do the same. You need to take a number pal. Sounds like the owner packed a sad over not getting his dirt money from the tennant,, a micky mouse chinese tour bussines that extorts chinese tourists for the benefit of Mr Yian,not at all any benefit for local Thai bussines.

Kannikapor88 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Pol.Maj.Gen. Pacha Rattanapan, the commander of the Fifth Region Police, said he believes Captain Nui is a fake cop, but said the investigation is still ongoing. So fake cops should be worse than the "real" cops ... ? Dont invest one Baht in this country unless you feel like getting an economic hammer in your face, not to mention maybe a real hammer from all this scum running around here ...

Tywais Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Khaosod posted a correction at the bottom of their news report, saying they made the mistake.

spidermike007 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Any extortions or theft under a billion in this country is not interesting to know about.... The author does not seem to have spent more than five minutes writing this article. He does not even know if it is into the billions or millions. if it is a true story, than it is a good step, that it is being reported. The more exposure that the RTP get, in regard to their corrupt practices, the better for the nation. They need to be exposed on a daily basis. Rid this place of the scourge. Rid Thailand of vermin. Rid the nation of blood sucking worms. Little P. is not willing to do the work. So it is up to the citizens to do it. The police attack in Pattaya is a sign of how frustrated people are getting with the behavior of parasitic worms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neeray Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Maybe there was no real extortion. Just maybe the guy who owes the big back-rent is making it all up to avoid paying. But kind of funny!

One Chinese person screwing another in Thailand. 555 I can't prove that it's a wrong assertion, however You'd really need to be desperate to accuse a whole police force to avoid paying a bit of rent and cutting out of a presumably viable tourist business in Chiang Mai. Then again, you could be right, the Chinese will walk a long way to pick up a lost dollar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back to class for you. No it isn't. As of today, 1 USD is 34.24 THB. 4,300,000/34.24 = $125,000 roughly.

ericthai Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 How is extortion by the Thai police news? Is there anyone in business here who is NOT being extorted by the thai police ? It always happens late on a friday, around midnight, when you cannot get in touch with your lawyer. They come in, threaten immediate jail if their demands are not met, and not wishing to spend 3 nights in jail you pay up. People say they do this because they are not being paid enough salary, but I say no, they do it because they can Been in business for 7 years and never an issue with the police. Actually had an issue with an employee the police did their job. There are some good cops in Thailand. However have a factory and not a bar so I'm sure that makes a big difference.

Beetlejuice Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 The part that really winds me up, is that foreigners arrive in Thailand, run businesses illegally or not strictly as imposed under Thai law, then when problems arise and become targeted by the unscrupulous, they then expect the police to send in the cavalry and come to their rescue. I have no sympathy in the least for these people, as they are leaving themselves open to extortion, having no legal defence whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corruption has been around in Thailand for very long time, no change in the past year. However I do like when it works for me, such as getting documents from the govt immediately instead of days or weeks later for a small fee.
