Popular Post MadMuhammad Posted November 7, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted November 7, 2018 3 hours ago, Kim J said: Yet again this action will do nothing to encourage or promote tourism. Do they actually think people whilst on holiday want to see gangs of uniformed officers marauding around? I would also say that unless this is yet another lame attempt at a publicity stunt they picked the wrong location, how many people down Walking St will even give Loy Krathong a thought? Or even know what it is? I feel far more intimidated walking around Rome, Paris & Berlin with all the police armed with automatic weapons. No one seems to bat an eye lid at that so I doubt this kind of thing would have any noticeable effect on anyone else but the whingers on this forum. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Media1 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Yes all in perfect position. The Ladyboys are armed and ready. The hookers are in there usual positions. I wonder they must mark the scent of the paver they stand on. The drink prices are correct high and the taxis are there usual bubbly Thais.

thequietman Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Someone needs to buy them a Russian hooker detector so they can see the Russian hookers.

quandow Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I'm fat, old, white, and here legally. Still, if I saw this motley crew walking anywhere near me, I'd pack up and head for LK Metro. Or maybe home. And when I go to WS, I make it RAIN, baby! Those idiots are doing NOTHING to make a good image for tourists. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BestB Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Since the big joke bang, tourist police has really been “active” yet they have little to no power or authority at all. They do not even have holding cells. i wonder why all over sudden tourist police is involved in all matters, tourist related or not? On a side note, for a newbie or someone back in west land reading or watching tv , this is hardly inviting or welcoming 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
