Cop Shelter

[corkscrew]

This cop hat provides shelter for the men in brown doing duty at Sathorn and Surasak in Bangkok.

Good to see you around corky... haven't seen you posting your usual strange/corkscrew-centric pictures in awhile

Those hat thingys are all over BKK.... Have you seen the newest addition: the accompanying statue of a policeman? Been seeing more and more of those around intersections lately... at times I actually think it's a cop - except I would guess that the statues are about 7-8 feet tall (and no cop is that shiny... figuratively and literally)....

(and no cop is that shiny... figuratively and literally)....

And 98% are not that slim either

Yup, the hats are actually all over Thailand, pretty cheesy really.

Sometime they put upside-down to collect money more easily.

We even have them up here in Issan together with the cardboard cut-out coppers.

Welcome back Corky, I nearly forgot you have a Mucky Benz having not seen a picture for a while.

I guess that explains the broken seat lol

They are a great thing....they double as shelters for motorcycle taxi drivers when it rains

Have you missed a story where one Thai guy got drunk and stole a cop twice life size cop action figure from a police booth? He installed it in front of his own shop instead.

When they found him they forced him to wai the dummy. I bet it was good fun for everyone involved.
