DOPA is the part of the Interior Ministry that manages district offices and has no powers of arrest. I guess anything goes in Pattaya and anyone with a civil service uniform can play the local sherrif. No, not anyone can but DOPA offcials sure can.

Can you imaging the uproar if Germany's anthem said 'Germany is only for Germans? Or any other country come to that. In fact the Thai National Anthem was written by a German. "But Thai National Anthem actually states Thailand is for Thais". But, as you claimed, the Thai national anthem does not state that Thailand is only for Thais, does it? The Thai national anthem actually does not state that Thailand is for Thais, neither was it written by a German!

Golden Triangle Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 As far as I am aware the mob in City Hall are an offshoot of the demons in Bangkok, so if they were DOPA officials they would ultimately be controlled by the Muppets in Government House, am I correct in my assessment ?
