Woo hoo- more non-working CCTV cameras- just what we need. I'd love to audit how many of these cameras have allegedly been installed over the past 14 years I have been here. A veritable cash cow for someone.

 

The numbers in the article pale in comparison to the announcements made ad nauseum.

But these "non-working CCTV cameras" always seem to be miraculously working when a farang commits the crime.  ?

Paranoia central!

Thai jails tell the tale. If there was more than .5% of white foreigners I'd be stunned. 

Every new initiative is sneered at by so many on here. Its baffling.

If I felt so unsafe, so untrusting and afraid of police, truly I would leave.

There is a lot that needs improving we all know that.

But what do people expect when it is nigh on dirt cheap to live here.

Can't have it both ways.
