Pilotman Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Witnessed usual police action yesterday, carrying out a U Turn at a junction that was clearly marked 'No U Turn', needless to say 20 odd vehicles followed him. Police in action. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guderian Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Very hot in the afternoons these days, the sun is very powerful, they're earning their salaries stomping around the beach in full uniform, even if it probably scares the children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange that as far as foreign tourists go high season is just finishing - irrespective of whether this is summer or winter to a Thai. Perhaps they meant Thai tourists.............????

Yes most likely...lots of weekend visitors from Bangkok..I've started going further south towards Sattahip ( Nongnouch gardens,Cartoon Network waterpark area) on the weekends instead of going into Pattaya City but still tons of weekenders clogging the roads ( me included obviously ????)

KhunPin61 Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 More than 40 years ago, when I was attending school, those days were always welcomed and appreciated by the naughty, lazy students: Leave the classroom, not supposed to appear busy, go somewhere where you have never been before. Far away from duty and always someone around to take pictures. I'm sure the lazy boys enjoyed the walk on the beach. Rewarded with their pics in the press. Sad day today. Back to the boring routine of dosing behind their desks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dallen52 Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Probably the same group that were sat on police bikes out the front of the police station randomly pulling people up. About 20 on bikes sat under a shady tree. Must have been time to stretch the legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CliffH Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 They could have been checking to see that the latest ridiculous rule was being obeyed. Vendors are no longer allowed to supply the plastic chairs, which I find are far more practical than the sunbeds when I want to sit and read on the beach.

Jack P Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 A firearm can really help take care of person safety. Don’t have to pay it a wage or pension or wait 20 minutes for it to turn up when you’re in a spot of bother. Good for them, not for us though.

Teacherduck Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 What a shame they are not on the roads, reducing the real issues of road deaths. Every night, while driving to Ayutthaya, I see mad idiots speeding, weaving through traffic, no lights on vehicles and m/c's, no helmets, but not a policeman in sight. Amazing Thailand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thesetat2013 Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Personally if they approached me.. i would show them my passport was up to date and tell them to leave me alone. Noone was such an intrusion into their holiday of relaxing. It's amazing noone makes a complaint of harassment.. not that it would do any good though except their getting asked to pay a fee to file the complaint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
