...And we all know another word for that.

 

If he offered rewards for info on tuk tuk drivers beating up on tourists or overcharging aggressively, I would take him seriously.  

Patong's own Boss Hogg!

Rumor has it that Junior is very likely to become Patong's next mayor. Wonderful.

Those kind of people never go to jail.  At best he is on never ending bail, more likely any corruption charges were dropped.

Saving his own bacon perchance. Money begets money look at Donald Trump the first million is always the hardest and I am still working on mine. I guess it is still based on that old adage its not who you know etc. its who_________________ 

The fact that the government is only offering 200,000 baht, and this individual is offering 100,000, shows a tremendous lack of vision and leadership.

 

If this government was  serious, competent, or focused, they would be offering a reward of 10 million baht, or more. The fact that the only reward that is currently being offered is for the paltry amount of only 200,000 baht, speaks volumes. If I were in the government, I would be quite embarrassed over this.
