Transcript of the above video:

As the title of this video suggests, we are discussing yet again Big Joke, that is Surachate "Big Joke" Hakparn who is presently one of the Deputy National Police Chiefs and I saw a recent article from the Bangkok Post, that's bangkokpost.com, the article is titled: PM wants police to serve the people, not the powerful. I thought a couple of excerpts in here were rather interesting, I wanted to go ahead and quote them directly, again two small excerpts, and I urge those who are watching this video, go check out that article in detail, a lot of good analysis in there but we will do some analysis here too; lot of good information in that article as well. Quoting directly: "Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin wants police to serve the general public instead of influential people, Deputy National Police Chief Surachate Hakparn quoted the former as saying in their meeting on Sunday." Quoting further: Quote, "The Prime Minister emphasized the suppression of mafias and influential people in localities so that [ordinary] people have confidence in their own safety. Police must not support those influential figures...The Prime Minister said police must be on the people's side, Pol Gen Surachate said." So interesting here. 

As we have discussed in other videos, specifically in the context of Thai Immigration, we have seen a major sea change in terms of paradigm regarding how Thai Immigration matters are handled in Thailand. In the past, as discussed in prior videos, Immigration was viewed as a sort of administrative function and I won't say there wasn't a law enforcement element but it didn't take the foreground, it wasn't the major priority here in Thailand in the past. In recent years especially, and notably with the rise of Surachate "Big Joke" Hakparn, most notably as we discussed in videos at the time when he was the Head of Thai Immigration, the paradigm shifted. It became much more of a law enforcement paradigm, much more of a police action kind of thinking when it came to Immigration and now it looks like more and more this overall Paradigm is also spreading more greatly in law enforcement generally here in Thailand. So again, this all kind of dovetails what I have been talking about roughly the last 6 months where matters pertaining to for example practices that in the past were not enforced but people just kind of got away with certain type of corporate structures for example in terms of Thai property, certain practices in terms of Thai Immigration, those types of things have been, we will call it sort of, some of these issues have been overlooked in the past from a law enforcement standpoint. It looks to me like there is a good chance that moving forward that will not be the case. There will be a more stringent paradigm applied when looking at enforcing the law here in the Kingdom of Thailand.
