Sophon Cable TV in Pattaya were reporting on Monday's flooding at the resort when they came across a traffic cop now receiving much praise online.

 

Officer Prasert Thianyee - without even a rain coat on - had a whistle in one hand and a PVC pipe in the other.

If not trying to help the inevitable slow traffic flow with his whistle he was using the blue pole to clear the blocked drains and help the water flow away.

 

Sophon said he didn't care about looking good - he was just there to help in any way he could. He was photographed in Soi Khao Noi.

 

The story reported that further heavy monsoon rains had left many roads under between 30-50 centimeters of water. They said Sukhumvit and Beach Roads were badly affected once again.

 

Thai comment online centered around the actions of the cop and concern over where all that litter was coming from.

Oh oh oh ... all these evil, evil cigarette butts ...!

✋ Hail Prasert.

A policeman with a heart of gold vs a pocket lined with baht - there's hope for Thailand yet. 

After bad publicity I have seen over 60 council workers making a one day effort to clean the beach .After or during a storm none to be seen

They do anything for a picture.

Nice to see that someone got ideas of what to do when there is time over. 

And all the folks hail the copper drop their shaait along the road waiting for causing the next flood........

How does the whistle make the traffic flow faster?  I never understand that.  Sometimes, during rush hour, I see police gesturing at cars to go faster working on the principle that the faster their hand movements; the faster the cars will go.
