5yrsinth Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 I was making a left hand turn by that big man made lake right before Nai Harn beach road and I notice a big CCTV camera on a post now. I thought no worries must have a problem in that area? Then my wife and I were on the beach and down towards the part where all the Thai's go to swim at the end of the beach, towards the windmill I notice, not one but two CCTV cameras? Have I never noticed them before? When did they go in, and for what purpose beside the police having a perv? These cameras are not near any road at all, they are actually on the beach. One camera is a dome looking thing, the other looks like a big traffic camera. Are these cameras going act like lifeguards since they can't seem to get a new contract with any lifeguards? Really don't get putting these on the beach. Just an observation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grumpyoldman Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 I highly doubt the police are "having a perv" otherwise they would have faced the camera toward the topless Euro ladies as opposed to fully clothed Thais having lunch by the lagoon. As far as the one on the road, absolutely necessary due to recent assults on women in the area. Hmmmmmmm............I wonder if you can connect the dots between scantily clad Euros and the assaults.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterMan Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Wow you must have just arrived. Welcome to Phuket. I am not sure if the lake is man made by the way. A long time ago it did look more natural and then they "beautified" the area. Good about the CCTV cameras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterMan Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Windmill? is that the same as a turbine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivinginKata Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Windmill? is that the same as a turbine? I think it's the wind powered electricity generator (experimental, I think) on the hillside above Nai Harn Lake, on the way to Rawai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
