Fox in charge of the hen house comes to mind.

My exact thoughts.

"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?

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.

Its like putting a rabbit in charge of a lettuce

A drunk in charge of the bar.

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.

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
