phoenixdoglover Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Don't recall EVER seeing a headline like this under the last lot. Three minutes with google. All reported in TVF. Your memory is selective. Feb 2013 - the Pheu Thai Party has requested that the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) look into whether there was collusion in the contracts to build 163 police housing units worth Bt3 billion and 369 new police stations worth Bt5.848 billion. Feb 2013 - Members of the Office of Inspector General (OIG) arrived on Phuket as part of the launch of a nationwide program designed to oust crooked police officers and slowly change police culture in Thailand. Each of the 1,460 police stations across Thailand will have 10 of its officers selected this year to help gather information about the behavior of police officers and the station’s actions as a whole. May 2013 - The superiors of a police officer who took bribes from drivers on the road underneath Bearing skytrain station in Bangkok have been transferred away from Bang Na station. Aug 2013 - A manhunt for two police lieutenants has been launched as more evidence of their alleged extortion attempt has emerged. Arrest warrants have been issued for Wirat Inyord and Akkaranet Mutawan stemming from their reported attempt to extort money from two foreigners.

sapson Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Whats the fuss about, how can you have a karaoke bar without girls..............that would be akin to Thailand without corruption!

Misterwhisper Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Here is my definition of "being axed": To be dismissed dishonorably from the force with stripping of one's rank and all and every decorations rewarded, without the right to severance pay, and with complete loss of income and loss of all and any benefits including retirement benefits, healthcare benefits, and state-subsidized housing, as well as the revocation of one's weapon license, Only tough measures can clean up this bunch of stone-lazy, corrupt-to-the-bone oxygen thieves.

Docno Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 This place (TV) has made me so cynical that my immediate reaction was "I wonder what the district police chief did to attract this attention -- after all, someone at provincial HQ didn't just wake up one morning and think, 'hmmmm, let's see if he's doing his job'." Now, can someone tell me what test will distinguish a 17 year old from an 19 year old (for example) ... at least something that has better than a 5-year span of 'error'?

Oziex1 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 (edited) "Five people, including a Laotian, were arrested by the raiding team. They were later charged with human trafficking." I take it that 4 of the 5 are Thai's A very casual mention of people being charged with slavery, one would expect some elaboration on this issue as it is a vile trade and also something Thailand is trying to show the world they are proactive in enforcement of the laws and prepared to initiate thorough investigations. Unless of course they just don't give a damn. Edited January 7, 2016 by Oziex1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EyesWideOpen Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I crossed the border into Laos at Vientiane a couple of years ago. Too lazy and cheap to charter a taxi into town, I waved at a van with an older Thai woman in it. She was happy to give me a ride. When I asked her what she was doing in Laos, she said she was shopping for Laos girls to come back and work in her karaoke bar on the outskirts of Bangkok . Somewhat stunned, I asked her why she did not hire Thai girls. She said they were too dark skinned, and that Thai men preferred light skinned young Laos girls. So I suspect there are lots and lots of karaoke bar chock full of Laos girls.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanukjim Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I hope that he collected his bribe money before going to an "inactive Post" I understand now that the military has taken over the BIB are asking for 3 to 6 months advance on their bribes instead of 1 month, in case something like this happens.
