Police Along Hangdong - Samoeng Road

Featured Replies

Hi,

I just drove home from work - I mork out near Samoeng. I took the Hangdong-Samoeng Road home, and every 2-3km, there was a police truck, with at least two officers, each, dressed to the hilt, stationed on the side. It was kind of creepy!

There must have been at least 12 stations in all, each with 1-2, sometimes three officers, again, every 2-3 km. I've never seen this before. Anyone have an idea what is going on? I was wondering if some VIP was visiting the area....

Any info would be really nice!

Thanks!

Last week it was the graduation at CMU and one of the Royal family was in town, so Thai friends told me. Maybe the Royal family is still in town?

One of the members of the Royal Family is going out to Saraphi area today.

That happens around Hang Dong road, and the Canal Road and elsewhere, when really important VIP motorcades are going to or from the airport or between venues.

Huay Kaew fitness park was chock-a-block with cops this morning (I reckon about 220 cops) It looked like perhaps a commencement exercise, or group photograph? Then around 12:00, a huge motorcade thru and not much since.

You ought to be in Brunei when ole Sulty gets on the road with his entourage of cops and Gurkhas if you think a few bib on the road over here is creepy. :o

Well, I was out and about again, starting at 7pm doing errands, and Hangdong Rd. was shut down for about 15 minutes, until a 15-20 vehicle motorcade with two pale yellow Benz' went through, and turned up towards Samoeng, which would seem to indicate that members of the Royal Family are visiting.

Interesting!

The royal visit was to Rimping Supermarket Nim City

Cos I was there, never seen so many coppers all dressed up and saluting!!
