Any chance this is a fit up?

Well that's just ridiculous - that's their job, to catch naughty people.

It's Thailand, it would not surprises me, they are corrupt fucks......

That guy in the pic there will have paid a fortune to get the job he has, he will then make a mint from corruption himself, that's how it works out there.

I've forgotten which body it was, it might be the UN that stated that The Royal Thai Police was basically organised crime

What's wrong with this development?

a) the chief was able to afford 1m baht of his own money
b) it's for the arrest, not the conviction
c) it's money for doing their jobs
d) it lends itself to questions of trumped up charges
e) it fits well as a sub-plot in a satire film
f) it exposes the top brass for the clowns that they are
g) all of the above
h) shut up, foreigner.

As it goes, I don't think this is a fit up, especially when there is a warrant for a Thai woman.

If some random foreigner had been murdered by a Thai, I'd absolutely be expecting the scapegoat to be a non-Thai but the seriousness of this thing was too much for them to not go after the real perpetrators.

I think the Police want to take a lot of credit for any finds being there hard work but rumours amidst Thai people are that this was from a tip off rather than the Police trawling through phone conversations as they've said.
