Crime figures must have gone through the roof whilst they were all parading up and down.
I remember being on Khaosan Road....1996?.....there was some fuss about car bombs....the police were all stood to attention in the street, about 50 of them.....when four men rounded the corner pushing a broken down car.....the police made way and let them push the car through their ranks and down Khaosan.....you couldn't write this stuff.
