Chaimai Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Anybody know what the SWAT team road check was all about tonight. Passed through on a bike but many cars were being pulled over and the SWAT team (including a Farang officer) were poking a torch into windows etc. Happened about 22.00 hrs on Sukhumvit near Boontawon ceramic shop.

Cuban Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Friday night road blocks looking for pro-PAD protesters driving up to BKK for this weekend's protests. I would expect all roads leading to BKK for the duration of protests to encounter such activity. Hide your protest banners, yellow plastic clappy hands and tear gas in the trunk.

Passed through on a bike but many cars were being pulled over and the SWAT team (including a Farang officer) were poking a torch into windows etc.Happened about 22.00 hrs on Sukhumvit near Boontawon ceramic shop. I am just curious how a farang is on a police team ? I was with a friend one day paying a traffic fine at Pattaya police station and a farang full of self importance and dressed in black army/ police combat gear drives in to the car park in a top of the range BMW 7i. He walked in liked he owned the whole place........ Why do they need farang in this kind of role Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humphrey Bear Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Perhaps this is the answer Monday 3rd November 2008Class 1 drugs and explosive devices found in Pattaya Police and SWAT Team checks. On Sunday Night, Police Major Wittaya from Pattaya Police Station, assisted by the new Pattaya Police SWAT Team conducted checks around the area to search for anything suspicious. Two cases occurred, involving class 1 drugs and explosives. The first case comes from the South Pattaya Road in front of the Chaimongkol Temple. Two men, acting suspiciously, aged 17 and 18 were approached and searched. They were found to be carrying 15 Yabba Tablets. They claimed the drugs belonged to their friend known only as “Ort”. He employed the two men as couriers and they were meant to send the tablets to a customer who would meet them at the location. Despite attempts by the two men to escape from Police, they were arrested and taken to Pattaya Police Station on a charge of dealing in a class 1 drug. The second case occurred on a small beach behind the Thappraya Mountain in Jomtien. A group of young people were sitting on the beach and were approached by Police. They appeared nervous and a search was conducted. A number of home-made explosive devices were found. The two men aged 21 and 36 claimed they just found the devices on the beach and were about to take them to the Police Station. The Police assisted by heavily armed SWAT Team Officers did not believe their story and they were subsequently arrested and also taken to Pattaya Police Station on a charge of possession of explosive devices.
