Morals weren't taught at his school then

They probably applied for a side job as consultants. Why not, if it works with a brewery...

An investigation has been launched into the connection between Thai police officers and alleged Laos drug kingpin Xaysana Keopimpha after several photographs of the officers seemingly hanging out with Keopimpha surfaced online.

 

The detained suspect, taken into custody two weeks ago at Suvarnabhumi Airport, may also have ties to Thai celebrities.

 

 

The pics were posted from the social media account of a user in Laos and show Keopimpha with both local and immigration police officers in Loei province, reported Thai PBS.

Can't see their faces, so are the Thai cops the ones with the fat guts ?

[chuang]

Likewise the police like to pose with murderers and criminals. 

[Panda13]

He hasn't seen the photos that have gone viral yet because his internet is down or because he was too busy ordering an investigation into it? Stunning police work !

[wvavin]

What is the point of probing where the whole world knows how trustworthy the Thai police are?

[ThaidaGwaii]

It seem normal in Thailand that organized crime has somehow, a deep relation with the police.  I'm sure most of Thai people would agree that there is quite a high level of corruption in the police.

This investigation will go nowhere. Just like the enquiry into Bangkok City police chief Sanit Mahathavorn who collects monthly 50,000 baht envelopes from Thai Beverage. Entitlement money from alcohol or drugs it doesn't matter; it is still money.

I am also concerned about the $40,000 US dollars a MONTH he supposedly earns on top of the beer money. I am sure that is more than the president of the US makes. Can you imagine all high level generals in this pay bracket?? Astounding.

Hope  he orders a probe into his own 50k b per month salary with the beverage company.

[Sydebolle]

Only once the entire force is cleaned out there might be light at the end of the Thai tunnel! 

[hotchilli]

Pol Gen Chakthip said he has not yet seen the photographs but has ordered the probe into the relationship between these officers and the alleged drug kingpin.

 

You could say it was a "cosy relationship" he gets to come & go, no questions asked.. officers get a reward via a brown envelope!!
Nothing unusual in Thailand, just another day & business as usual!

As opposed to the ethically misaligned. Or, any time they get their way --- maligned.

Isn't it a little bit like the cop that did the ATM machine he was on cctv but now it has been perhaps a month or so and no more info on how about they went about the case. Perhaps this cop was trying to give a helping hand to the ATM tech who knows and so having a pic taken with a well known individual full of money to disperse nothing wrong with that one.

Perhaps high up officers will be driving hot cars in the future.

Well, at least one half of the relationship is organised.

Today with every one taking pictures of anything and every thing what is there to say at least there is truth to show.

Another day and another pic taken in the Amazing Thailand.
