impulse Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 (edited) Take a look at his official salary and weigh that against your monthly expenses. Of course government officials (including especially the low paid cops) need to moonlight. It seems this guy was doing it legally, and reporting the income. If Thailand is to ever get rid of corruption, government officials need to be paid enough for a decent living. Where they live, not on a farm in the sticks. With a salary high enough that they think twice before putting their job in jeopardy with backhanders. Edited December 12, 2016 by impulse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKDfella Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 He's just setting an example for his ranks...so maybe if the PM speaks truthfully every Friday night about no one is above the law, perhaps he could show us by making an example of this official. Yeah, pigs might fly.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

performance Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 All these old police are the heart of infection in the root of a rotten tree. This head here is the poster child. As I said all along Sanit is to go. In fact Prayut and his non attempt to start any reforms shows there all in it together. Thieves working in harmony.

As a retiree, you should be grateful with the relaxed visa laws that allow you to remain as a guest in this country. No public official should not take money from a private concern while in office. It is an obvious conflict of interest and has nothing to do with citizenship, relaxed visa laws or, as we can see, "reform". There are guests and paying guests. Paying guests are entitled to an opinion. It would be a wondrous thing if Thais, in and outside of Thailand, were not terrified to express themselves.

Dionigi Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 They are landlords, lawyers, restaurateurs, store owners, consultants, investors, public speakers, corporate directors, a realtor, a chiropractor, an insurance broker, a nurse, a doctor and a club director. They are also our members of the Canadian Parliament. Lots of countries allow top officials to have other souces of income. So long as he is not using his position in the police to force payment and so long as he has no conflict of interest and it is declared there should be no problem. The discussion here should be about the ethics of two jobs where there could be conflict of interest not about tea money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Public officials shouldn't be allowed to have other sources of income except with prior approval which should not be given lightly or simply on ' the nod '. However having said this I'm sure nothing will change because it would affect too many important people and especially those who can make the decision to stop this sort of thing.

elgordo38 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I see how this works he can be on the board of directors sort of of many corporations. What does he advise on any way? Does Thai Beverage just bandy his name about in pushing their product. Then there is the dark world aspect does he grease the wheels in some way shape or form. Is he the tip of the iceberg and this practice is wide spread? Answers please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhizBang Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 He should, of course, quit his police job, but we all know he won't. If he does not resign, he should be fired will loss of all benefits. But we all know that won't happen either. If Prayut was sincere about stomping out corruption, he would make a very public show of firing this man as an example of his sincerity and to set an example of what will happen to other corrupt officials. But we all know Prayut will do NOTHING. Too many skeletons in too many closets. So stand by for the parade of excuses as to why this is NOT an issue, and of course, complete silence from Prayut, unless he too decides to defend this bent copper.

OldPedro Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 On my last visit to Soi 80 Hua Hin, bar staff informed me that local police visited all bars once a month to collect their "tea money". So, when will authorities own up to this practice, which presumably occurs in all entertainment areas, and do something about it....?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
