Twenty years too late (in my Thailand experience). The public have zero trust in them and fear their power.

The growth for the big Thai banks is driven by profiteering; customer exploitation; and racism.

There's no point - he'll be gone in six months; all the major defence sweeteners have been allocated; Thailand has already been invaded.

There's a minimum of 365 dangerous days every year in Thailand. Maybe police should be paid overtime for working on these days too?

I was out and about in central Pattaya yesterday. Guess how many police I saw in nearly FIVE hours? Clue - less than ONE!

No mention of the police whose daily failure is the biggest contributor to the above figures.

They are would-be politicians angling for Senate sinecures.

What happens between 5pm & 7pm? Why the lull?

Why do police need an arrest warrant? Surely if they see a crime being committed they can just take the perpetrator into custody?

'the completion is now anticipated by around mid-2024.' Meanwhile on Sukhumvit the jams are causing 5 kms tailbacks; Jomtien is a disaster area which starts at Dongtan POLICE station in case people are wondering why there is no police presence/control.

Will Vietnam share the secret of how its police force get 99% of motor bike riders to wear helmets?

That's about 47 a day! So far. Hard to tell the 7 dangerous days from the 'safe' ones.

What a good idea; visited a couple of the channel islands in my youth. Thank you.

New series - 'Elsbeth' - spin-off from the excellent 'The Good Fight'. Cookie lawyer helps NYPD. Complete mini-series; 'The Cuckoo'.

Expect more damage to cars as the supply of kratom water dries up.

So this fatuous exercise is working! Why are Pattaya police lumped in with 'various law agencies'?

I've got déjà vu. This is the 20th time I've read this paragraph since I came to Thailand, 20 years ago.

This is the 2nd time in a week RTP have visited Khao Ta Lo after an absence of twenty years!

Will Pattaya Plod get a new division of Monkey Police?

All true and as the tourists are mainly Chinese there's no need for toilets.

The shop will be flooded out with Indian men en route to Pattaya.

I didn't see any mention of crop-burning & carcinogenic air in the article above?

It's just a Wet-T-Shirt Competition which can be seen in many seaside resorts in UK.

I'd love to be able to afford to go anywhere to escape The Waste of Water Festival.

What could go wrong? The police are putting in their bi-annual appearance to draw their overtime payments.
