    Should Thailand's tourist police be given a new uniform to reflect a more friendlier image ?

    in General Topics

    Posted · Edited by Chairman Of The Board

    Why would anyone , especially a foreigner want to be associated with an organisation such as The BIB, and wear a uniform?

    Because lots of tourists need help. They would feel more confident to talk to a farang police officer who speaks their language. Farangs who have been here for a long time can indeed help them.

    The idea is laudable, and I support it.

    So do you think that these 'helpers' should be able to overstep their mark.

    Do you think that they should be used in police undercover sting operations?

    Do you think that these people should arm themselves with batons and CS gas, just to make the public feel safer?

    Do you think that they should be given the power to act just like a policeman when they stop a vehicle being driven by another farang?

    Do you think that they should be able to drive their Hummer around with an arsenal on board and shoot out the tyres of a moving vehicle? (and yes, they are still a volunteer force).

    Maybe there should be a volunteer force that helps foreign tourists but the system that we have in place at the moment allows one or two bad apples to infest it.

    This is why the current volunteer forces do not win over anyone except for the people that they have helped.

    As your new to TV, you may not know all the rules about posting questions like this, as you have correctly stated it is illegal in Thailand, even the on line version, although I am led to believe large numbers of self professed digital nomads, ie those who profess to run on line business's in Thailand are infact supporting themselves financially in this manner in Thailand,

    I have also heard rumors about something called poker dens or houses in Thailand where these multiple Digital nomads share the rent on a house or accommodation and all they do is play poker illegally on line all day and share costs.

    Thank you

    I didn't mean to break the rules.

    What is a digital nomad?

    Do you know anyone that I can contact about these dens, they sound like the type of place where I could find some tips and pointers.

    I understand that gambling is illegal in Thailand (with the exception of the lottery and the ponies) but what is the status of playing online poker?

    Can someone make enough money from online poker to support themselves in Thailand?

    I was under the impression that discussion of Gerbils is strictly prohibited on Thai Visa. However, if not then, I am sure that a Gerbil topic would be very popular

    Sir, mrtoad, no more mentioning of gerbils on TVF, but we can always discuss the wellbeing of ZUMA our beloved Honey Badger.

    Is Sir Soutpeel, still treating him well?

    Jacob Zuma is a Honey Badger?

    Maybe these are people who never quite made the grade to join the police in their home country, so this gives them a chance to pretend to be important.

    I'm not sure who is worse, the pretend policeman or the guy on the next bar stool to me who is only 37 years old but served in Nam (Didn't realise that there was a war in Paknam).
