The Thai public were praising the regular cops and the tourist police in Pattaya after they helped a blind grandmother get home.

 

Netizens had been concerned about the fate of Bunreuang Siriwet, 68, who went to Pattaya to try and locate her youngest daughter after losing contact with her four children for 17 years. 

 

The lady had been seen sleeping out in Pattaya and Sattahip after being unable to locate her relative who someone told her had died.

 

Now the cops have clubbed together to give her money for food and get her transport home to Sa Kaew.

Five thugs armed with clubs attacked an anti-junta activist - any connection?

 

I don't buy the above sentiment of heart-warming police.  They can easily afford 100 baht apiece to send home someone cluttering where the pavement should be.

It is not their job to personally pay for her safe return.

Perhaps help make arrangements could be seen as part of their job, but I would have thought that came under the role of a social welfare agency, not police.

Essox Essox .. The old dear was blind , she was in a strange place looking for someone she hasn't seen for years and she is at an advanced age .. Consider how confusing or bewildering that could be .. she had no where to stay so the local cops have chipped in to help her return home .. Fair enough if you don't think that is worthy but I do and see nothing wrong with giving them some praise for it ..

Hmmm isn't this a routine part of being a cop?  Police do this type of thing everyday, and it usually considered as just part of being a cop.  What ever happened to Serve and Protect?  Just wondering....

I think you missed the part of the article which said that the police officers have paid for her food and transport home.

Not something that is "just part of being a cop" as far as I'm aware.

because they hardly ever do their job, or even part of it?

A blind elderly  woman from  Sa Kaew (no idea where this is) going to Pattaya to look for a daughter she haven't seen for 17 years (and never will).  My guess is that she have other issues than blindness.   Kudos to the Police Officers who helped her to get home.

And for a bunch of sour pussed expats who can find nothing better to do than criticise everything that seeks to give credit when it's due! ????
