Two of the new patrol cars will stationed at Phuket City Police Station, three at Patong Police Station, two at Chalong Police Station, and one each at Cherng Talay Police Station, Tah Chat Chai Police Station and Kamala Police Station. The only two districts not to get the new cars are Thalang Police and Thung Thong Police, which has jurisdiction over Kathu sub-district. “Before, we used old pick-up trucks to conduct patrols and for traffic control, but the new cars will be used for patrolling only,” Lt Col Charturong said.

PoodMaiDai Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 “The new patrol vehicles are expected to improve our international image and help our relations with tourists,” said Lt Col Charturong. Seriously? Try not ripping off every tourist you see and actually helping them when they need it. THAT will improve your image, not new black cars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiang mai Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 The key words in the article are, " the cars will be stationed at..", I fear these cars will see precious little patrol work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khaowong1 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 And here I was thinking the police were going to employ a couple of big burly forwards from NZ to assist in restraining irate tourists. Ha ha ha. I was pretty much thinking similar, except I was thinking maybe they hired a couple of big linebackers from the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
