Anytime a policeman here engages in any act of law enforcement, it is both impressive and surprising. 

 

Perhaps this guy can steal the spotlight from the biggest joke. Everyone would benefit. 

''Impressive'' ?   He is just doing his job; nothing to get undue applause for !

Probably stopped because the road was blocked.

Fore ever talking rubbish 

Planning to legally change my name to "Big Expat", or maybe just "Big Pat".

So what is the message here? Standing ovation for a civil servant, driven around town in car with driver and happening to recall his job? 

Having said that, regretfully he seems to be the exception to the (local Thai) rule ... but do not hold your breath and assume, that the criminals in uniform now, over night, change their attitude to the highway robbery and extortion of the very public they are supposed to serve ????  The rest of the uniformed flock - not on the take - has anyhow nothing to say and push pencils back at the station!

So the driver would have just driven past if not ordered to stop.

You are an incessantly denier of truth and justice. Nobody can do wrong here, especially any Thai institution, of which you have a total intolerance for criticism, it would appear. Why I even respond to your baiting, is beyond my comprehension. This will be my last time, I promise.
