Pattaya Powers Up Safety: Cracks Top 10 in Southeast Asia Safety Rankings


Recommended Posts

As usual forget the actual RTP doing regular patrols- too much effort let’s spend millions on CCTV - no different than the UK! 
I’m not that old but growing up bobbie on the beat - few more on Friday/ Saturday nights & now they’ve all disappeared- RTP seem like the same unless something in the news (which they should know about as is their area before hand)  - that’s just incompetent

Pattaya is alot safer if you avoid contact with their ladyboy community. At least the news would make it appear that way. 

If the news is anything to go by, it would seem that this "jump" in safety standards" has been preceded by a rather large brown envelope!

The day when they stop the road massacre, and have proper road crossings that work , then I will believe it.

Safety ? What are they doing about the violence caused mainly by foreign men who believe Thailand is the country with no laws.  Not a day goes by without violence, not only Pattaya, Phuket is just as bad. It’s just bad news for *normal* tourists who will go elsewhere.

credited largely to its expansion of CCTV coverage

CCTV is the preferred weapon of authoritarians everywhere, China being the obvious example. It makes law enforcement very efficient.

 

But it's useful for law enforcement only if you have a competent police force in the first place.

I was assaulted and robbed in my condo room by a Thai man weilding a large meat chopper. The condo has no security guard, but their was cctv, which the police had a very clear image of the assailant. 

 

Yeah, the police did come, took lots of photos, viewed the cctv footage, and then?

 

Nothing!

 

So what use is cctv if the police can't be bothered to find that man!

"Key to these efforts is the installation of over 2,000 CCTV cameras citywide," but how many actually work, oh, and let's not forget those that  "conveniently" do not work.

Bangkok in 7th place???:cheesy:

Is no one watching the news anymore? Is there a week that goes by without a story from Bangkok reporting on multiple deaths on building sites?

The one that caught images of what looked like the Brat on Koh tau running away from a crime scene was definitely faulty

Even more safe if one avoids contact with the farang population.

From time to time they certainly put on a good show, but I really hesitate to call them law enforcement officers, I am much more comfortable called calling them revenue collectors.

It's pretty crazy to even discuss any large city in Thailand as being safe, relative to the rest of Asia. Most other countries in Asia take law enforcement seriously and have law enforcement agents who are not strictly revenue collectors. Thailand has never taken public safety or traffic safety seriously. There is no money in it. 

 

Perhaps at some point in the near future when the youth are allowed to govern here things like public and traffic safety will be taken seriously but for now the toxic dinosaurs just don't seem to care. They make pronouncements and declarations after there is significant amount of egg on their face, but they just don't follow up. Thai politicians and the young PM are some of the least serious people in Asia.

Yep award for safety due to many additional CCTV cameras!

How convenient when the RTP are involved in a crime or in their prison cells and bar murders when RTP are there.  They always say "not working"

 

Correct me if I am wrong but was not Mr Ferrari killed in prison and the cameras were not working?

Here's another one. If Thaksin was in a 5 star prison hospital  why were there not 24/7 security CCTV cameras to monitor activity 24/7? It is a prison. What a joke! You could not make this sh..t up in a fiction book.
