Been told some people are very upset that he came back, so maybe something different this time around.

The superintendent of the main city Samut Sakhon Police Station announced that he was ready to stand down from his position and is willing to be questioned.

Big misunderstanding, language error---thay are tickets to the Policemans Ball.

Makes a change from immigration officers selling visas. Roll up Roll up, 18,000 baht gets you an annual retirement extension. Simply incredible.
