They do this every four years and does not stop it.

Why are the Tourist Police involved with such operations? Shouldn't this be the work of the Soi 9 Station officers?

The Tourist Police undercover unit would be better employed along the Beach Road, rooting out the Katoeys who's pick-pocketing activities regularly bring misery, distress and inconvenience to their foreign victims, and help give Pattaya such a bad reputation.

Pheeewwww!!! I'm glad they took these thugs off the streets......now, everytime I leave the house I won't have to keep looking over my shoulder to make sure that a gambler is trying to sneak up on me.

The streets of Pattaya are now safe!

So please sleep well tonight….no need to worry about gamblers climbing thru your window.
