    The word notorious means this was not an uncommon episode. Why was no action taken prior to this one? I understand the common people are scared of him but refuse to believe his colleagues did not know he had a problem. Thai police have complete immunity until a major incident occurs; they strut their (armed) stuff about the neighbourhood intimidating and stealing goods with impunity. RTP has a Mafia reputation that is never tackled.

    A true Community Cop; now if there was one more, Pattaya might have an embryonic police force.

    1st series of 'Black Doves' arrived tonight. Has Kiera Knightly & Sarah Lancashire - 'nuff said.

    At 39 what sort of a visa does he have? Is he on holiday so as not to need a visa? How did he acquire a luxury van?

    With all the information to hand + multiple CCTV camera footage I was confident the thief would be apprehended on Nov 21st. I am more confident about the theft on December 3rd. I await an early arrest.

    Well done Col. Navin. No information received so real police work had to be done. Would the arrest have been made had the order not been given?

    Why did Sunthorn make progress when the police didn't? RTP-DIY - a logical next step?

    Ditto. It took me two years to redeem a credit note; not helped by their website erroneously saying they had an office in Pattaya.

    I note she did not entrust the wallet to the police for safekeeping.

    Pattaya police's laissez-faire policy continues to pay dividends.

    Sounded like prostitution to me until I remembered Pattaya police have decreed there isn't any.

    I think many, in official capacities, don't see they are part of the wider picture; they are in their own closed space. Just as Thais will blunder into others without seeing them, officials have a very narrow concept of what their job entails.

    He looked deaf to me.

    I watched every episode of 'The Bureau' (5 series?) - an absolute gem.

    I watched the 1st episode of 'The Agency' last night. Despite a stellar cast (Fassbender/Gere) it was unbelievably dull.

    I agree with the OP. Bedding is extremely expensive & (often) of poor quality. I bought my 100% cotton sheets from an Indian suppliers near TukCom. They tore very quickly. My TGF cut them and sewed them together. She sleeps muffled in a duvet and I get the (now) single sheet. I would be grateful for a tip on where to buy the afore mentioned Chinese stuff.

    Most Thai dog owners are deaf and ignore their pets' noise which can go on for hours at night (in my experience). I do not condone this offence but have often thought of tossing poisoned food in the direction of the owner.

    Immediate sacking offence. Lots of Thais in official capacities do nothing because it's easier.

    The difference is, the UK Force police the roads. Here they only appear after the event.

    Why do we only see a bevy of cops when there is a photo-op?
  21. mikebell
    I think having rice three times a week is a possible cause.

    Meanwhile on every corner, meat is marinated in carbon monoxide for hours in 30+ temperatures served by someone with no toilet/hand-washing facilities surrounded by dogs whilst sending dense clouds of smoke obscuring the road and contributing to the Thai haze.

    My neighbourhood Swedes drink at home; loudly until the early hours disturbing those with jobs, babies and dogs.
  24. mikebell
    I've started doing it when I see a cop in Pattaya.

    After enduring a month of English summer where the temperature rarely reached 17, it's a brisk 24 here at 7.30 and I am considering putting a shirt on!
