Popular Post webfact Posted February 19, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 19, 2020 Fake cop! Chokechai thought 400,000 baht would get him into the force! Picture: Daily News Chaiyaphum native Chokechai "Moss" Kropkrathoke, 21, always dreamt of being in the Royal Thai Police. So when he was approached by someone who could "oil the wheels" on the path to his dream he jumped at the chance. He said that he paid 400,000 baht to get him into the Jor Hor training academy in Korat or Nakhon Ratchasima in Thailand's north east. He took the entrance exam and passed and did the three month basic training. He was then told to go home and wait for further instructions. He was thrilled when through the post he got his papers confirming him as a lance corporal. He also got a bright new uniform to go with his position in the force. But this is when his dream started to crumble. The letter said he was to present himself for duty at the Chaiyaphum police station. There he was met by the station chief Pol Col Wattanachai Janthathum who promptly arrested him. All his papers were fake and he had not been given a position in the RTP at all. Investigators have cast doubt on Chokechai's claims about his training at the academy. They believe that a gang is behind all this RTP shenanigans and are expanding the inquiry to ascertain who they are, reported Daily News.

So how much is it then? It depends on the applicant's gullibility. There's a theory stating the amount required is proportional to the susceptibility of the victim. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post rkidlad Posted February 19, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 19, 2020 Good job the people at the top of the RTP are setting good examples by not buying/selling positions or giving jobs to family members. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nausea Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 One of the problems with Thai society is the fairly common unofficial practice of purchasing appointments. Not only because it may mean you don't get the best person for the job, but it also encourages the development of additional revenue streams, as the appointees want to recover their initial outlay. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misterwhisper Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 If it is wrong to pay your way into the force (or up the ranks), probably 80% of police officers should be arrested. But by whom? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
