snoop1130 Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 A tour operator and a Chinese tourist are to be invited in for questioning over controversial and unauthorised police escorts provided by Thai tourist and traffic police officers. Pol Maj-Gen Archayon Kraithong, spokesman for the Royal Thai Police, said on Monday that two traffic police officers and a tourist police officer are now under investigation by their respective agencies for providing an escort to a female Chinese tourist. He said that the tourist police officer, Pol Captain Somphol Pinyosamosorn, picked up the Chinese tourist at Suvarnabhumi airport in Bangkok and escorted her, through a special immigration channel, out of the airport to a waiting car, which was then escorted by a traffic police officer on his motorcycle to her hotel in Bangkok.

Elkski Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 (edited) Not sure working stiffs even get a chance to read or hear about 10% of these wacky police schemes! Don't they use the word schemes when referring to tourist. Edited January 23, 2023 by Elkski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callmeishmael Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Actually, was this even illegal? When we go on school field trips the buses are always escorted by police, usually a car and two motorcycles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheapcanuck Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 I've seen off duty police being hired for a number of things, even to provide an escort, here in Canada.They don't use public funded resources, like motorcycle, to do it but they do hire out their services to whom is willing to pay.
