A few days ago I posted on here albeit as a joke that I thought the police were working from home because the roads were so dangerous.
My wife and I drove down from her work in Roi Et to a hotel in Nangrong, Buriram on Thursday evening and then on down to another hotel on the northern side of Khao Yai the next day. We had to return home to Mahasarakham on Sunday as she has to work on Monday due to the government's poor planning of the holiday.
As we drove back I mentioned this thread and she agreed that she hadn't seen any police at all either. I was thinking of coming on here to suggest that maybe the reason for the lack of police was that they were all on holiday. I imagined them all on the beach with their girlfriends whilst their wives were at home.
As we approached Phon in Khon Kaen I shouted "There's one!!" I'd seen a policeman crouched on the left side of his pickup with a tripod in front of him. Was it a speed camera? Or maybe it was just a cover for him using his phone? A little further on there were a group of police looking at notes in front of them and pulling vehicles over. I assume they had numbers for those that were speeding, or as many as the first guy could record, as most seemed to be speeding anyway. It then occurred to me that maybe nobody had told the police in Phon that it was a holiday, so they were working.
Any other sightings of the Lesser Rarely Spotted Thai Traffic Cop over the holiday. Do I get a prize?
