Meanwhile on the roads more Thais were killed than the number abducted by Hamas.

Rinse and repeat

This sort of "police crackdown" has been going on at least as long as I've lived here, and that's been 20+ years

Dang,

Probably just missed the ladyboy v tourist  altercation that shocked foreign tourists by minutes.

 

On the other hand maybe ladyboy roundups alternate with hooker roundups and this was a hooker roundup weekend.

 

I'll check it out.
