Pattaya police and immigration patrolled the city to greet tourists and ensure safety to welcome the coming Christmas and New Year’s Day.

 

Pol. Lt. General Sukun Phrommai, commander-in-chief of the Tourist Police, dispatched more than 600 legal officers to inspect tourist spots around Pattaya. He said all officers had been instructed to ensure the safety of the public and tourists during the upcoming Christmas and New Year holiday seasons.

 

The Tourist Police will be responsible for directly caring for tourists in the Pattaya area, according to Pol. Lt. Gen. Sukun. An influx of visitors both domestic and international is expected to flood the city during these next two holiday weekends.

Is there anything more welcoming than hordes of cops swamping tourist areas?

Yeah! They look really happy and interested in the gift. Bye bye, let me drink my beer, please

AS dear old recently departed Mensi would say :

Yeah he doesn’t want a packet of condoms, why not a box of viagra

Give u a free gift then with the other hand be ready to do anything else with a smile.You are a overstay 

Get out of jail free cards..

"dispatched more than 600 legal officers to inspect tourist spots around Pattaya."

 

Not to be confused with illegal officers...

What's the gifts, free 30 day visa extentions or something. The Russians get a free box of Ukrainian made tissues to wipe away the tears of defeat.

How long did it take to find a Farang drinking a bottle of water for the photo op. as you cannot take a photo with a beer here.

He also looks extremely pleased to be picked out from the crowd does he not......

 

Come on , take these condoms and enjoy your stay ...

NO ?    You don't want them ? ... Dirty farang .

Glad to see in the vid the small young girl refusing a 'gift' from a stranger in fact turned her nose up at it, so would I. ????

Here you are sir.  Now could I see your passport then could you pee in this bottle, sir?

Gummi bears,  how enduring. 

The photo looks like they are handing out condoms to a bunch of horney old sex-pats at a girly bar! LOL!

Luckily, they are not rolling out those MIB wearing all the SWAT gear and armed to the teeth.

After checking their visa date ? 

I received a alcohols chart gift in Manhattan Beach at police check point after they looked in my eyes by flashlight. It seems it is getting common. ????

Or buy the next one.

I thought they would be handing out reply paid empty brown envelopes 

"Pattaya police and immigration patrolled the city to greet tourists and ensure safety to welcome the coming Christmas and New Year’s Day."

 

Every drinker/driver should have one!

 

(Even with my failing eyesight I can see that the gift is not a brown envelope!)

These old geezers in the photos don't look much like tourists. More like long-time expats living here on retirement visas.

Hansum men at a temple don't you mean?

What a unique idea. ????

The best gift Immigration could give to tourists would be waiving the silly 1,900 baht extension fee for when we have to go there every few months.

After covid, it looks like the average age of tourists returning here has gone up, considerably.

Once a year for me... and for a tourist one time per visit! maximum Be careful, they have yet to introduce the arrival charge..... now that numbers are on the up, I expect that will be snuck in!
