Tourist Police Centre. This grim looking lot would be enough to frighten away most tourists.

Oh goody...a new donation centre.

“If tourists are unable to come to the service centre, they can call Tourist Police hotline 1155. The hotline has interpreters, who can then inform Tourist Police officers at the service of the incident and tell them where the officers should go,”

Perhaps these officers should patrol the area, instead of sitting in the air conditioned 'service center' and waiting for phone calls?

Looks like a promotional still for the new Thai Hawaii-5-O
