Somyot hands over reins to Jakthip, may launch businesses

Don't know about anyone else, but I, for one, feel much safer knowing that the new police chief, sees his priorities as 1) building a hospital, 2) procuring more weapons!!!!!

Nothing about solving crime and protecting the public or providing a good public service, where police actually are visible patrolling the streets and getting to know their local communities. Or have I missed something and that is no longer the Policeman's job!

And so I quit the police department

And got myself a steady job

and though she tried to help me

She could steal - But she could not rob,

So true, after all these years

WOW ! A cadet in 74 and a Major- General by 78. Why is'nt this , obviously, brilliant policeman head of Interpol. They have no idea of what they have missed

[oldsailor35]

Serious question. Really bugs me. How to all the hi-so police earn aviator wings?

Sure that they are not Paratroopers wings . Every man and his dog in a uniform wears them in Thailand, even the little guy that directs the traffic at my local market.

They're should be a full investigation of his finances, and then confiscate the lot...

He can afford to throw away millions from his own pocket and everyone is afraid to ask why or how

Prayut should strip these overpaid monkeys of rank and assets, titles but he's also got a mountain of cash from being "in the army"... So probably he can't rock the boat either
