Gongratulation to Thai Prime Minister Mr Srettha :

Thailand Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin quashed rumours about inviting Chinese police to patrol the nation’s tourist hotspots. The clarification comes in light of a recent uproar following remarks from the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) regarding such an arrangement.

PM Srettha, during a visit to San Francisco, revealed that the country’s interest lies solely in collaborating with Chinese police for information exchange about potential criminal networks in Thailand. Such a move is aimed at bolstering the confidence of Chinese tourists visiting the country. The 61 year old Thai PM categorically stated that no Chinese police personnel would be stationed in Thailand.

Next thing you know they'll be shipping misbehaving people off to China to harvest their organs. Is that really what Thailand wants? What makes them think the commie cops can be trusted? 

It's gonna be fun having a mass protest with a crowd wearing Winnie the Pooh shirts in front of them Chinese policemen.

This idiotic idea has been attributed to an unnamed (by their choice) Srettha government "official".

 

The PM needs to walk this back ASAP.

 

 

Yes he does, and I hope he's not the one that initiated it, many strange ideas have popped up from this government. 

It's since been reported both the PM and the police chief confirmed there will NOT be Chinese police on duty in LOS. But there is ongoing cooperation in terms of various crime incidents etc.

He went on to say that allowing Chinese police to operate here amounts to a slap in the face to the Thai police. “Are the Thai police that bad?” he asked, adding that, if there are insufficient police to provide protection to Chinese tourists, the logical way to solve this problem is to increase Thai manpower or to ask local officials to help the police

Yes...

Thai police are in the main re-active.... they already have the manpower but under utilise it in the way that real policing should operate.

One other issue is the corruption, Chinese operating in Thailand under the protection of officials for payment.

I'd love to see some UK Bobbies on patrol in Pattaya, working nights & weekends staggering the Thai police who do neither.  There'd certainly be fewer deaths on the roads.

Must be a long time since you have been back in the UK.The days of British Bobbies are long gone.

The Police force there, especially the Met is an embarrassing laughing stock now.

7stone girls and fat undersized,bearded unfit men with tatoos.Bonus if you have a brown face.

No different than the UK sending its police to Portugal to deal with drunken Brits

Nonsense. Of course it's different.

British police are not setting up secret police stations in Portugal.

Chinese secret police stations are proven to be operating in UK, Europe and Canada - possibly the USA as well.

Go back to your bar stool and stop trying to think.

 

Nothing compared to the slap in the face the ordinary citizens get dealt with on a daily basis when having to engage with the BiB...

Not only are there Chinese police, but Chinese police STATIONS in Canada!....not to mention the military as well.

The world is their oyster....it would seem.

Exactly my sentiment from yesterday, what can the Chinese police do that the Thai police can't? to me, Chinese police equal to Chinese spies and a slap in the face of Thai sovereignty and capabilities to police their own country... 

There was a report in the NYT several months ago that this has been proposed by Chia for other countries.  The consensus was that the Chinese wanted to do this to spy on Chinese expats.

This "misunderstanding" does raise an interesting question:

namely would the Chinese Police be enforcing Chinese laws or Thai laws?

Presuming this ever came to pass, which I doubt.

I read somewhere little while ago that Chinese police operate in the UK. Obviously not openly on the streets. Their purpose, Hong Kong Chinese opposed to the regime in HK who are living in the UK have said, is to keep tabs on them, not visiting  Chinese tourists.

Slow takeover of Thailand by Chinese government and its representants. Do not forget, where Chinese police gets rights to patrol they will soon set up Chinese police jails (within Thailand) and the logical step is that they will look for by China wanted Chinese and by China wanted other Nationals and let them disappear in these secret police jails on Thai soil. All this exists already in many countries, secret Chinese police jails in UK, Slovenia, Croatia, Italy and many oyher countries already exist with and without approval of these governments! Do we need more of that? How many tourists will still come to Thailand for holidays when Thailand becomes complicit it disregarding human rights? Do not give XiJinPing such a huge gift to let him legally operate his police beyond China's borders!
