No. Its the job of the police to keep the peace on the streets that includes protecting shops from robbers. What an awkward question... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What an awkward question... Like you said, "keep the peace on the streets." That doesn't mean be private security for businesses. If that was the case, every business would have their own tax payer funded armed police officer, wouldn't they? What a ridiculous reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did a little spraying on the pavement while someone took videos and photos. Five minutes later took off the suits, threw them into the back of the car and drove away (maybe to the next video shoot). This is truly disturbing... the corruption in this country never ceases to amaze me... i must be really stupid, should probably have my brain checked out lol lol 55555 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thailand49 Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 There isn't enough police on payroll in Pattaya that can protect all the places the ones that are now are paying for the protection sounds familiar? People actually think police here is the same in the West? My neighbor/renter just came home a contracted police been working hard came by to pay up on his back rent, that is how I found.

Antifreeze Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 5 hours ago, NoBrainer said: In the Philippines Almost every security guard is packing at least a shotgun, and often much more. When you got to convenience store there, you always see armed guard(s) in the front of the stores. Seems to work well there, armed robberies are fairly rare. Exactly. I have not been in a few years but that's how it is. Nobody on an unlicensed motorbike with helmet on walks in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Rudie k Posted March 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 27, 2020 I'll tell ya right now...you better watch yer back. As this gets worse...Falang will be the First to be robbed. Especially older guys alone. I grew up on the South Side of Chicago all my life. I've never had a problem here cause I brought my street smarts with me. I am no bad ass...but then again, i dont trust nobody here. Every Falang here should know Thai rak Thai...and we are just walking ATM machines. You better get that fixed between your ears boys. This WILL get worse before it gets bettere. 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Muzzique Posted March 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 27, 2020 Hungry people will do desperate things. So be warned, when the food runs out, if they cant rob the shops they will look for easier targets. When the proverbial hits the fan it will be every man or woman for themselves and that is not a long way away. If you can get out I strongly advise you do so but if you choose to remain make sure you are prepared for what is to come. It wont be nice I assure you. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
