Jiraphat Kheawsir led a patrol to inspect and prevent incidents for tourists in the area. The team encountered the two foreign tourists walking along Suwannasorn Road, and immediately offered assistance upon seeing that they were hitchhiking. After inquiries, the police officers found out that the French tourist, Ms. Coline, had traveled from Cambodia to Thailand and needed help getting to Aranyaprathet Bus Terminal to travel to Buriram Province. The patrol car took her and her luggage to the bus terminal, ensuring her safe travel to her destination. While on the way, the patrol car found a 75-year-old Canadian tourist, Mr. Randolph, who needed assistance in returning to his accommodation in Pattaya, Chonburi Province, after running out of money, reported Daily News. The patrol car coordinated with the condo's management to request the traveler's agency number and additional documents. They contacted a public taxi to ensure his safe arrival. The Sa Kaeo Tourist Police's prompt and helpful assistance not only ensured the safety of the foreign tourists but also created a positive image for Sa Kaeo tourism." -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2023-05-02 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

They didn't extort money from these tourists for the ride and they didn't take them to a room back at the station and beat the sh_t out of them for a false drug confession. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webfact Posted May 2, 2023 Author Share Posted May 2, 2023 Thailand’s Tourist Police earn praise for assisting stranded French and Canadian tourists by leah Thailand’s Tourist Police received praise in Thai media for assisting a French tourist and a Canadian tourist in need of help in Sa Keao province in eastern Thailand yesterday. Pol. Lt. Col. Jiraphat Khaewsiri, from the Sa Keao Tourist Police force, lead a patrol yesterday when he spotted a foreign woman walking along the Suwannasorn Road. As soon as she noticed the police, she flagged down the car for help. The tourist, 27 year old Coline from France, asked the police officers for help to get to Buriram province. Coline said she was travelling in Cambodia before entering Thailand via the Ban Khlong Luek land border in Aranyaprathet district, reports DailyNews. The officers picked up Coline and dropped her off at the Aranyaprathet Bus Terminal so she could take a bus to Buriram province. On the way, the patrol car passed another forlorn-looking foreign tourist along the Sa Keao – Chanthaburi Road. The tourist, 75 year old Randolph from Canada, revealed that he was trying to return to his condo in Pattaya in Chon Buri province but had run out of money.

DJ54 Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 Saw a man and woman Farang @ 20s hitch hiking… which I thought was strange.. in US hitchhiked in 60-70s but now days to dangerous…. Guess if you had a pick up could put them in back with no access to the cab… imo far to dangerous in these days and times…. Bad planning if you can’t afford a bus or train ride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
