Dont confuse me Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Commendable if the numbers and story totally correct! 7,394 arrests over a 10 day period is 739 arrests a day, a little over 30 an hour! I would question that there isn't enough police in the whole of Thailand to achieve those numbers! Looking at the pics they've obviously done some good work, why do they have to exaggerate the numbers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
