Former Yala police chief takes over at Pattaya’s top cop

PATTAYA:--Traffic and crime-suppression police greeted their new boss with flowers at Pattaya Police Station.

 

Pol. Col. Prawit Chorsang took over March 18 from Pol. Col. Apichai Kroppech, who was named deputy commander of the Nonthaburi Provincial Police.

 

Prawit was the police chief in strife-torn Yala Province and is one of 1,450 top Royal Thai Police officers reshuffled into new positions this month.

Brilliant.

A new broom, he'll clean this town up properly.

Watch out bad guys your time is up.

 

He looks like the real deal. Watch out soi 6, get ready to be demolished.

Pattaya is (allegedly) one of the most expensive police posts to buy in Thailand.  Wonder how someone makes enough money in the deep south to afford that?

No Hookers on beach road remember.

He looks a bit like Clint Eastwood but fatter shorter and kinda more Asian looking lol ???? 

And will he fight the criminals in Pattaya or will Pattaya just continue as it is???! 

Any improvement is appreciated. I will wait and see if he:

1. Gets rid of all the scooter rentals and merchants that have commandered public streets and pathways.

2. Starts ticketing, towing and arresting bus, taxis and songtaew drivers that double park, block the street, ignore traffic laws, ignore meter use, etc.

3. Implements trained, mobile traffic officers that will stop and ticket reckless drivers.

I won't hold my breath.

Unfortunately he will do none of what you guys have requested, the reason ? Every time he hears a backfire from a vehicle he will be hitting the dirt as I and many of my fellow squaddies did after a few months in NI, the same with the South, hear a bang head for cover.

we all should be thankful crime is not as bad as it was a few years ago in pattaya, before it was daily shootings, daily stabbings, many daily robberies against both locals and tourists, armed robberies, daily attacks gainst both locals and tourists, random shootings in na kluea, now in pattaya it is hardly any shootings or murders, armed robberies is no longer a problem. but after the elections i think pattaya will become like that again.

Sounds "expensive".

Does NI stand for Norfolk Island (Australia) or Nigeria?

What are IEDs?

My deceased father-in-law was the Yala Chief of Police many moons ago and was as straight as a dye. The south doesn't get corrupt officers as a) there is not a lot of money to be made and b) it is dangerous. Southern Thais are as hard as nails as well. In the absence of any other info expect a shake-up and maybe a cleaner pair of hands.

I don't know how old you are or your country of origin, but with your level of ignorance of world affairs I would guess some backwater in Australia, definitely not a septic as they used to collect for the IRA (Irish Republican Army) So NI equates to Northern Ireland, a quiet backwater where far too many British troops (including friends of mine) died terribly violent deaths, to add to the death toll would include the RUC (Royal Ulster Constabulary) The UDR (Ulster Defence Regiment) and the 100's of innocent civilians killed in the conflict, so before you think about posting banal shit, think about what you are saying. Forum rules prevent me from saying what I think of C***s like you.

Northern Ireland .... in the days of the IRA

Too many bars owned by the police for any demolition.

A few brown envelopes will get passed around and everything will be ok

Guilty as charged, except that I am Italian and I do not have the slightest interest in geopolitics, sectarian strife, etc.
