janverbeem Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 What's so strange about this story,this same thing happens in every western country........................Or do you think in Europe the mafia seeks their volunteers outside their own ranks.

BOS2BKK Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 "The installation of the CCTV cameras and the recruitment of beachfront workers as volunteers is expected to help police monitor Patong and make it more tourist friendly, he added." The installation of the CCTV cameras is expected to put yet another backhander in someone's pocket... Did anyone notice the cost estimate for the CCTV cameras? 15M Baht for 100 Cameras. That's about 500,000 USD give or take... divided by 100, that is $5000USD per camera. Does that strike anyone else as obscenely high? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even when you factor in installation, connecting to a network & associated backup hardware it is of course an extremely high budget but then again reading any news item about proposals in this country it seems the estimated cost is always high. Just imagine how much better the standard of living could be if they shaved 50% of all these bloated budgets which would still leave plenty to go around.

Tokay Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Good laugh. Congrats on adding 100 CCTV cams. Pattaya has over 300 of them and not a one is watched when it comes time to scam tourists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the security cameras in the world aren't worth a brass satang if the security operators spends their shifts with their heads on the desk sleeping their shifts away. Zzzzzzz Zzzzzzz Zzzzzzz Darn! I've lived in Thailand too long! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
