espinoza Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 And this police general is not unusual rich??? What salary does this guy have? He is a rich man, on that salary?????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espinoza Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Maybe he became rich before he entered the Royal Thai police. He had so much money and would serve the police because of his patriotic attitude. people like this never stay long on the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espinoza Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 the worst employer in the world. The Royal Thi police. They do not afford uniforms, vehicles, motorbikes or guns for their employees. The employee has to buy all this by his own. Thats why I never stops for a poice car, or in many cases pass the policecar in 150 k/m/h. Its just a toy-police, Its not a force of Thailand, its a junk-mafia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NongKhaiKid Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 (edited) Nothing here's ever what it seems. Somyot retires next month so is this farewell gift to the farce, sorry force, and why now ? He's been in charge for a while and only now comes up with this direct deal with the manufacturers although I do appreciate he's been busy with his stock portfolio and avoiding making a decision on stripping Thaksin's rank.

recycler Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 The prices are online and the Sig Sauer 320 is between 425 and 499 US$, so at the current exchange rate the most expensive P320 is 17,530 Baht list price. The 70,000 Baht is nonsense and if you buy 150,000 at once there will be a massive discount, so...... THIS IS KICKBACK TIME!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the USA police the transport cost will be in the price too and that won't be much different to Thailand, possible even cheaper. They will easily ship in 6 to 7 x 20ft containers, with the right permits, insurances and security the actual shipping cost won't differ much from a normal shipment. The cargo as such does not pose any hazard to the ship, environment, crew, etc. The 70K Baht shows again how ridiculous the pressure on imported goods is in Thailand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaycor Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Great, I wonder if they are going to give extra training in how to properly shoot the SIG. It has no external safety, just a two step trigger. I love my SIG P226, but its a tricky gun... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussieinthailand Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 So they're getting these for just over $500??? Seems really low. Unfortunately the numbers this bloke is coming up with??? retail Baht 70,000 ($1,995) for a Sig Sauer, NOT!!!, try $900, plus tax, which should not be applied. But if he can get them for (Baht 18,000) that's a bargain. But a baby eagle at $630 ( Baht 22,104) Then apply a mass purchase discount, (Baht ???) and a better hand gun. But we all know that's not how things are done in LOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IAMHERE Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Why do I think that these guns will be paid for by the masses, 200 baht at a time? My understanding is that the average police person doesn't have 70,000 baht, that many are in debt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, in the hope of "transparency", why not just release all these details for the public to review? I am honestly not sure how qualified current Thai police officers are in evaluating firearm options, no doubt some are, especially via a "questionnaire"? Maybe better to set up in independent panel (with citizens representation) to evaluate the mission(s), requirements, budget. Evaluate several manufacturers/models, short-list a few, then have an approved vendor list, of at least two or three models? Or you could just push through a blanket PO while no one is looking, and then deal with the mess for the next 20 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
