Popular Post snoop1130 35852 Posted January 1 Popular Post Share Posted January 1 PHOTO: Thairath The Thai deputy national police chief is eying to change the color of the vest’s banners worn by traffic police to reflective green and yellow to improve visibility, make the police seem more friendly and approachable, and orderliness. Pol. Maj. Gen. Torsak Sukvimol, deputy national police chief, said Sunday, January 1st, that this idea came after he inspected several police stations around the country and found that most traffic police wore vests with different color banners such as grey, red, black, brown, or yellow. The deputy commented that this was not united and might cause confusion, adding some officers in the same police station even wore vests with different color banners.

tomazbodner 9741 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 The only time people cared about the traffic rules was just after military removed red shirt protesters and put men with rifles into intersections. No more red light running, no more other dangerous maneuvers, no running over pedestrians... afraid of getting shot. Maybe replace police with snipers and people will behave? Or at least give them a very big gun and camouflage uniform... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic Ray 3073 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 This sounds like using up leftover annual uniform budget (less commission) to avoid next year’s grant being lower. They just issued some free black body warmer jackets to some office staff to replace perfectly serviceable dark blue ones. Unusual as they normally have to buy them from their meagre salaries.

Andycoops 4121 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 It's not the vest you idiot it's the Muppets inside the vest that need to be changed, miserable sods. As for coordinating colours, since when was anything in Thailand concerning the BiB coordinated. Just look at the uncoordinated IB with random rules for visa extensions etc etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the time after the demonstrating stopped. Once there was clump of soldiers at the intersection near my apt, they had their rifles in that teepee kind of shape on the sidewalk. All of them giving me that look that says they've never seen a farang before. We chatted, they tolerated my bad and limited Thai, they were all country boys. I don't know if the people feared them, but I didn't. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
