UK Plod love a Bob Marley & Wailers though prefer theirs in the acid battenburg style with all the camera kit kept within the car  .. And Be-eM's are quite good for taking out street robbing youths trying to make their getaway on bikes .. 

 

Good, lets hope we see them operating on the highways of the LOS

That is a real fast police car. Unfortunately a Thai cop could not handle such a car.

Just today at Jomtien Imm. Office - 3 brand new BMW 330e

Two weeks ago I saw 3 brand new BMW 330e at Immigration office in Nakon Phanom.

Test drive?

I guess that the Thai people are happy that the police and immigration use public funds to purchase BMW's as government vehicles.

Saw one driving down the highway just outside of Udon.... thought

wow ... but I don’t know any details could have been a contract with BMW at lesser costs... don’t want to jump to conclusions...

The one in jomtien has been there for many months. If I had to guess, someone has generously donated a fleet of BMW’s to police 

More likely that somebody in the RTP purchasing chain has an uncle owns a BMW dealership, and that somebody has got a kickback for deciding BMWs are the vehicle of choice.

And not one, single police patrol car in Pattaya to enforce traffic laws or respond to calls for service. Then there are police pickup trucks that seem to do nothing more than drive around with emergency lights flashing for whatever reason.  Sedans seem to be reserved for the brass, whilst the ordinary drones drive pickups. 

This is the situation all over Thailand!

...and the colour!  silver and maroon?  I have never understood why they don't go white and blue/black like most of our planet.

Brown uniforms too still I guess that colour might have some association for them?

I've always wondered why Thailand's police aren't better funded and why they don't have nicer vehicles/motorbikes. 

Nice to see they are starting to improve things.

What are those metal boxes mounted on the roof, behind the light rails?

Maybe they are used to detect people on overstay ????

They are camera's.

You may hire the car and driver for your next social engagement and have all the photo's taken as well

Totally agree, especially if they are not imported

Wrong. These are safety boxes where they put the bribes.

I think they are trying to make it pleasurable to be arrested and transported to jail. Sweet!

glad to see all bar bribe money being put to good use ????
