Popular Post webfact Posted January 8, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 8, 2019 Video: "Marvellous" Thai police locate beggar boy's missing leg! Picture: Sanook A video posted to Facebook showed a stern looking policeman confronting what looked like a hapless street urchin with one leg. But the cop knew better and suspected a ruse. He urged the boy to come clean, stand up and show him what he really had. The boy did just that and, lo and behold, found his missing leg strapped behind him. It had merely been bent at the knee. The boy had been picked up for begging though the location was not reported. Sanook said that it was "marvellous" work by the RTP as netizens gushed their appreciation online. The video was posted on Facebook by Surin Rattanathani. Source: Sanook -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2019-01-08 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldrunner Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 (edited) I spent years going to bars in BKK and Pattaya and never had a run-in with the police, other than two legitimate minor traffic stops (both ticketed but not involving alcohol) so I don't understand that hateful attitude expressed on these pages toward Thai police.

The families of those who've meet their untimely end on Koh Tao (and of certain Burmese workers there) probably do understand, though. To name just one example. And yet it's also true that your average everyday Thai beat cop is almost always pleasant and helpful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They deserve a 'Hateful attitude' because they caught a young lad trying to fool them and the public and are taking credit for it. They should have been out doing useful work. A clip round the ear should have been administered, dragged to his parents who should have been told to keep their son in order or THEY would be in trouble. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eligius Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 (edited) I have really enjoyed the witty comments by fellow posters - brought a smile to my face, I must say. Very amusing. On a serious note, this story does illustrate much that is wrong with Thailand: the endemic levels of DECEIT (throughout Thai society - here perpetrated by the boy), and the police's complete time-wasting on very minor 'crimes' (when there are SO much bigger criminal fish to catch; but of course, they are untouchable ....!).
