soalbundy Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 22 minutes ago, John Kane said: Oddly enough in many countries where real pay is extremely low for people we depend on at times for life and death situations corruption is accepted as a way too give more public money to people who are theoretically receiving the actual public service. We are effectively being taxed (under the table) for breaking the law in some minor way to off set pay for people who can not live on what they get officially. In Albania, when I drove Albanian friends they had no problem with police stops at lunchtime (for lunch money) as we approached each village. Why? Because my friends knew the police were paid, just as Thai police are paid, so little that they deserve (in the minds of the common people) what is effectively considered a reasonable tip. If the minor corruption is eliminated no one will agree to be a policeman. Raise the pay and the big corruption can be attacked successfully. But if the police pay is raised all other workers will clamor for more too. These are some of the complexities people don't understand when there is demand to just stop corruption as if it can be done by fiat. As one famous, now dead , German politician put it, a little corruption oils the wheels of industry. Corruption is world wide, it cant be stopped but one could be a little more discreet about it, in Thailand it's in your face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mick220675 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 The wife's relative went from a lieutenant to captain in our local police force, he had to remortgage his farm and his mothers. Its a expensive business being a police officer, but there are clearly advantages. The idea that corruption will be removed from Thai society is laughable, the people at the top have got there through corruption. Living in a border area with a large number off military personnel it dose not take long to see the boys in green are just as corrupt as the boys in blue.

This post needs verification to educate the public at large There are a zillion branches of the Police force with different rates of pay. You can up your salary by applying to take different exams. If you pass an exam your pay scale alters. Our lad is doing parachute training, if he passes (survives) his pay will go up. I can tell you that he spent a year in boot camp to get the police job he wanted and passed.. Before that he had to pass a bucket load of tests which probably took a year..

Come on then, spill the beans. We are interested. Never before have we had a reliable source of info. - how much did he pay to pass the bucket load of tests? - how much are the monthly "bonus payments". - how is the money distributed? As in, how much can he keep and how much goes up the chain? - does he see taking bribes as a right of the police, or corruption? - what is the point of parachute training, except to get a pair of wings to stitch on to the uniform? Road safety or advanced motorcycle handling would surely be more relevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To pass the bucket load of tests did cost money...Because they are not done in ones home town, so flights, hotels etc on numerous occasions... You have to pay the Government to enter the exam stuff... If you stood n front of the lad and accused him of dodgy payments I am sure you would have a problem.. Yes the parachute thing is to give him wings on his daily uniform, plus the effort puts up his salary and respect from other cops.. He has nothing to do with road stuff..Different branch...

I agree with Smedly above, Prayuth must act decisively, ruthlessly and soon. Funny that Prayuth has fallen silent over this very important matter. Usually he is in the forefront of even trivial things. Maybe he is busy composing a new song. This event goes up the food chain much higher than we are being privy to. There are some big fish here to fry. The trouble will be to find a frying pan big enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soalbundy Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 In a land full of cheats and corruption what is one supposed to do? break a lance for honesty, be poor and get yourself killed? It is easy for us to talk, not so easy for those living and relying on the system. Ones friends and colleagues are working the system, to try and be honest would result in you being ostracized, alone and without protection.

mick220675 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I do not know if these figures have changed much, but it is clear a police officer needs to top up there salaries if he has borrowed large sums of money to get a job or promotion. Entry level salaries for police with no university education was 6,800 baht (2012). In June 2015, the Bangkok Post reported that, "Thai police officers are paid around 14,760 baht per month (6,800–8,340 baht for entry level) and have to buy their own guns and even office supplies."[18] He posits that one reason salaries are so low is that the sheer number of officers is staggering, roughly 250,000. This means that an increase of 5,000 baht in every cop's monthly salary would cost the government a politically untenable 15 billion baht annually https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Thai_Police Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
