Immigration loves you as Bangkok's finest get all "lovey-dovey" at Khao San road

 

Picture: INN

 

A big show of police force at Khao San Road last night was designed to show the love and leave tourists feeling all fuzzy inside.

 

INN news said that a Christmas and New Year crime suppression campaign was billed as...wait for it....

 

"Love at First Sight...by Immigration".

 

Leading the message of love for tourists was immigration bigwig Sutthipong Wongpin who joined forces with 137 officers from tourist police, crime and drug suppression agencies and even anti human trafficking cops.

 

Placards were displayed and leaflets with the festive message of love were handed out encouraging the tourists and the Thai public to work with the authorities and help make Thailand a safe and crime free haven for all.

 

After assurances were given to the public from the stage the chief and his entourage went to spread the message of love all down one of Thailand and Bangkok's most famous tourist streets.

 

Expect more shows of affection as the authorities open their arms to tourism under the "Amazing Thailand Tourism Year 2018" banner throughout next year.

What ever happened to Good Guys In, Bad Guys Out.  I thought Thai immigration only wanted 'quality' tourist.  Khao San Road?

Please stop it... These stories are cracking me up.

PR can be done by a handful of people.  That means that 130 cops weren't on the job that night.  Think about it.

I do very little posting now but I have to give an opinion on this post.

In the eight or nine years I have been a member of Thaivisa, this is the best post I have read yet, and every word is so true.

Well said marrmrrs

[chama]

Of course they love the tourist, that coffee money adds up!

[timendres]

Why do I never tire of these absurdities (sorry) events?

[tomacht8]

Are the tourist numbers down?

Yes. Spent most of a day at Chaengwattana immigration . Revealed much about Thai efficiency (i.e. Lack of that is) and very  belligerent attitude towards their customers. Serious deficiencies in most Thai Government systems. (No to mention the Banks. OMG!)

Sorry if I have slipped off topic.
