    waste of money. Since when has the average Thai driver paid ANY attention to road traffic signs/symbols or markings. It would be a different story if the town decided to form a police force.

    AKA INACTION.

    Start with the police owners & collectors of monthly 'protection' money.

    They will 'fine' a couple of cops for dereliction of duty and the next cycle will start anew.

    Tucked up in bed. After my bike was clamped, I had to go to the main station to have it released. I walked round the totally deserted building for a long time before anyone answered my cries for assistance; it was just after midnight.

    After my TGF slipped on the non-slip bathroom tiles, I bought some heavy duty mats for both of us.

    I did not have a camera then. I spent years and thousands of baht on lawyers' fees as the Thannachart Insurance agent was totally all at sea. I eventually paid off the 'victims' so I could get on with my life. The cop extracted 15K from my wife (I learned later) or he 'would make my next year's visa very difficult.' There are some readers on this site who have wondered why my comments seem anti-police from time to time.

    Plenty of real cops guilty of impersonating police officers.

    Why would an innocent victim be carrying 3.3 million in cash?

    And side. A Sattahip cop decided I was guilty of a traffic offence whilst waiting to turn right at a U-turn when two tearaways ran into me at 90kph.

    and steam.

    Much better. They are oil workers so the house is empty during their work stints. The main offender seems to be a Manc (judging by his accent) and he now no longer stays more than a couple of days.

    Their mothers and grannies won't let them.

    My Swedish neighbours used to do it all the time; until a powerful local owner called in the police; mind you it was on the holiest day of the Buddhist calendar.

    Refills for such pencils are easily available in many pharmacies about town; so I've heard.

    and the dearth of police action on every road in Thailand and in particular Pattaya.

    There goes Thailand's clean air figures.

    Far safer to use one of the many partners for sale at bars under police protection.

    I was about to question why the raid was conducted by 'officials' not the police. Then I read the above sentence. How can such an openly corrupt & inefficient organisation be permitted to exist in a modern country?
  21. mikebell
    Leaving the office once in a while? 'Transporting a roller, a Ferrari and 2 lions completely unnoticed?'
  22. mikebell
    Enforcement requires a police force, so the above story is just bluster.
  23. mikebell
    Why does every police-raid story begin with the above first three words? Why are the police incapable of doing their work themselves without help from the public?
  24. mikebell
    They have been for 20 years (by me). No change yet; they are still inept, lazy and corrupt with a finger in every nefarious activity whilst doing nothing to address the daily road kill figures.
  25. mikebell
    How many of the unregistered four-wheeled vehicles above have a working meter? My guess is 0%. Isn't there a national, legal requirement to have one? If so, why has it never been enforced here?
