    foreign police in Chiang Mai

    in Chiang Mai

    Posted

    It's a bit of a concern that one volunteer runs a loi kroh boxing bar with girls, and another is a webmaster for a site basically promoting sex tourism.

    Why is that a concern? I'd say it's a good thing as it means he'll have more experience in foreign tourism, specifically nightlife.

    Or are you saying that the standards for foreign police are higher than local police? wink.png

    It is always interesting to see some of the Thai Visa members attacking members hidden behind their computers complaining about people trying to contribute something positive to the community by assisting tourist and expats that need help or advise in some manner. AMAZING.

    I know there are about 15 members in their group working combined hours of in excess of 900 hours per month. (Giving their time free) They work on shifts and call outs to incidents on a daily basis both day and night and I believe they have about 9 different languages they can utilize when requested by the police.

    They work under the direction of the Muang Police and work area specific and are NOT part of the tourist police volunteer group which have had issues in the past and they are completely separate group. It’s a new organization trying to make a difference in Chang Mai just attempting to help people and police with translations.

    Within the group they have many members that speak fluent Thai, and there are some previous police members, ex military and local business people and other members who are just offering to help people in distress in some way. The formation of this group was made as the main police had a constant stream of foreigners requesting assistance at the police station.

    I was told they are holding many applications of expats living in Chiang Mai people wishing to become part of this group however are receiving applications waiting for next course to start.

    Everybody has strong opinion regarding this services offered these volunteers but we choose if we wish to use their help or assistance.

    Sometimes I wonder as to how many of us expats have actually contributed of done something constructive to the society Thailand other than to post comments ?

    Murder At Lai Thai Guest House Kotchasarn Road

    in Chiang Mai

    Posted

    Sorry but are unaware of the facts.

    Actually the person in question is a Pakistani National checked in to the guesthouse without providing the required documentation. He signed in under a bogus name.

    The good news he is now in police custody. He was arrested at the airport in Bangkok preparing to leave the country. He has now been transported to Chiang Mai this afternoon and interviewed by police in Chiang Mai and is ready to be formally charged. Stolen items were found in his possession. Great work by the Royal Thai Police.

    Russian Tasered At Karaoke Club In Chiang Mai

    in Chiang Mai News

    Posted

    This past Monday the 22nd September a Russian tourist Mr. Alexander Sheshko, aged 38 was at the BUNNY GIRL Karoake club located on Chang Klan road in the city of Chiang Mai. He was beaten with sticks and Tasered by 4 security guards at the club for failure to pay his bill.

    Mr. Alexander story was he went to the Karoake club around 2 am and asked for the price of 1 bottle of Jack Daniels for which he was quoted 2000 baht. Mr. Alexander Sheshko then ordered a few hors d’oeuvres, mixers, and had 1 of the PR girls come into the room and sit with him. He claims he was unaware that when the girl buys a drink he had to pay for it.

    After this another 5 girls came into the room for which he claims he did not ask for and sat down and again the girls proceeded to order more drinks for themselves. Mr. Alexander Sheshko claims he asked the Mama sang to remove the girls that he didn’t ask to sit with him.

    After a few hours Mr. Alexander Sheshko, Russian Tourist, asked for the bill and to his dismay it was a total of 15,000 baht! He then asked the manager to rethink the bill as it was way too much for what services he received and they came back with a bill of 7000 baht. Everything looked OK for the Russian until the Mama sang came out and then said to the employees he had to pay the 15,000 baht!

    This is when things turned bad for Mr. Alexander when 3-4 security guards jumped Tasered him and beat on him submitting him to pay the entire bill.

    There is a place for animals however I don't think an eating are is the right place especially around food. Customer come to eat and enjoy a meal however your beliefs about food areas and animals being close by (within 1/2 meter). The dog is a very large dog to have roaming around nearby the food. The service at archers was great

    the few times i have been there and the food OK. Dogs are not allowed in places to eat for may reasons.

    So what you are saying its OK to sit at the table and have the dog lick you whilst eating at ARCHERS and its not a health issue !
