Very true but unless RTP intervene, things will never change. They could start on the motor ways and arrest the speedsters but I never see a cop car when using the 7 to Bangkok.

Seems clear to me too. Without a police force to curb speedsters, this happens daily.

I find it very easy. Remember the chosen elite are given a Get-Out-Of-Jail/Army card. What's left are the dregs.

Why do they get to never use their meters? Because the other mafia say it's OK.

CCTV seems to make their life easier. If they used it more often it might deter criminals from committing offences; like speeding; running red lights; not stopping at zebra crossings.

Hilarious irony.

I was staggered by the headline in praise of Pattaya police. Having read the story, I am full of praise for the two officers who are a credit to what a police force should look like, whilst showing up, in stark relief, the remainder of the shirkers.

Parking at the airport is a ludicrous affair. I waited in a queue for over an hour to get into the carpark (before I gave up.) It looked like they were full and you only got in when someone else left.

Including the police? That might galvanise them into doing something.

or his windscreen was covered in flour & water paste; another hilarious and dangerous off-shoot of this waste-of-water festival. Soon be drought season.

RTP don't believe in preventative policing. They merely react ... sometimes.

Six shots; one hit in the leg! Drug addled or myopic?

It certainly did.

Of late? I don't get out much (3 or 4 times a week.) Spotting a cop is a rare sight.

Thanks for this. I have no trouble getting into TPB. I could only find 1 episode of this show. Trying again today, there are 5 (I think the complete series?) which are happily downloading (tho' only a couple of seeders.) My VPN is set to Singapore.

Both the officers AND Wang were struggling to stay awake.

I've got déjà vu.

Gormless.

'The Narrow Road to the Deep North' is getting rave revues yet I can only find E1 (of 5?) on TPB. (And only 1 seeder!)

Another nail in the coffin of RTP's reputation. Thailand will always be a 3rd World country until they reform the police.

Missing for the other 50 weeks.

The main thrust of my contributions to the daily death rate is weak enforcement. I have travelled to Vietnam many times where the numbers of motorcycles seems to dwarf the quantity in Thailand yet I have never seen a helmetless Vietnamese rider. here I wonder what the numbers would be if Thailand had a police force?

Based on 20 years of interaction with Thai drivers; you can pick many comments written by farang writers about their experiences in Thailand and accuse them of racism. Having said that I admire your very full answer. This from another reader ignorant of the wider issues you quote. 'Here's what I found from WHO: 2021 Death Rate: 25.4 deaths per 100,000 population. Estimated Deaths: 18,218. Average Daily Deaths: 50. Most Affected: Motorcyclists (83.8% of deaths) and those aged 15-29.' ' a very different enforcement culture.' As regular readers know, I am fixated on two major issues that affect the quality of life in Thailand (whatever their nationality.) Dogs and RTP. This latter prompted me to write 'where police enforce traffic rules every day of the year (not just when they are being paid overtime);'. Using UK again with which I was familiar, (20 years ago) when seatbelts were 1st introduced there was initial inertia. A police campaign saw casualty figures plummet. Likewise dogs roaming streets causing accidents and spreading disease has been all but eradicated. The bad habits of thousands of Thai drivers (and farangs who have been driving too long) are reinforced by daily use, without ANY police interference.

'Pol. Gen. Thana reiterated that the nationwide operation aims to deter crime' and absolve the employers from paying the foreigners' wages for the previous days/weeks work.
