Photo Which Appears To Show Pattaya Police Gambling Surfaces

[tracker1]

Oh this is of no concern Its a reinactment of not what to do including getting caught on camera !

[TheFishman1]

LOL only in Thailand

[TackyToo]

Hahaha evidence from a gambling bust hehehehehe oh the lies the lies... Its like a cartoon lolol

"Pol.Lt.Col. Kirtisak said, and it might be that they were testing and checking evidence after returning from arresting gamblers."i I believe every single word of that. How should any of the BIB know how a dice game works?

[JulesMad]

Guys, you have it all wrong!

Clearly this is the class 'Gambling 101', in which the police learns how to recognize the gambling attributes and how the 'system' works (the gambling system as well as the BIB system how to deal with gambling)

[mrfill]

Delighted to see the result of all this diligent testing was the discovery of the Higgs Bosun particle.

I'm astounded how they managed to work out it might have been the Pattaya police. I mean, there's no clue anywhere in the picture.

[MAJIC]

Can I see money sticking out of the back pocket of the first one on the left? and could also be money in his hand?

Looks like there is some doubt on this photo though,could be construed as training rookies how the game is played?

To me that picture doesn't prove anything as it's just an Officer sitting at a Table with gambling equipment.

Maybe it's just because it's the BiB that people are so negative.

'Have to agree on this one. I don't see any bets down - no clear depiction of anything except a craps board with officers standing over it holding paper I can't even tell for sure is money. 'Just can't be sure either way, but almost looks like they were getting ready for one of those publicity shots with confiscated criminal paraphernalia. If the "investigation" actually determines this WAS a gambling session, then I'll have egg on my face I guess, but I'd be unwilling to point the finger just based on this picture.

[waza]

I guess the money in their hands is evidence too

[Pattaya46]

Indeed. Sensationalist.

They are obviously at the police station where they surely would not be gambling and given their vests (not worn inside) they have come from somewhere else and are displaying stuff found.

I agree with you Petercool,

but many members are fully irrational as soon Thai police or corruption is involved.

Far better to make big buzz with a photo taken out of is real context...

Gambling inside the police office during service! Please be serious. Even in Thailand it's a big NO NO.

[Basil B]

I think it is going to be a long time before this one is forgoten..

may be it is a system for calculating who pays what "Tea Money",

UPDATE

Pattaya Police answer recent claims of officers caught gambling

PATTAYA:--Pattaya Police have defended recent reports that a group of their officers were caught gambling in the Police Station.

A picture on the internet depicted a group of uniformed Pattaya Police Officers surrounding a high-low Gameboard. The picture was from 2011 and related to a case of gambling dealt with by the officers. Khun Butyanoot aged 34 was arrested at the time and was present at a press conference on Wednesday to confirm that no gambling was taking place at the Police Station and the items were laid out on the table for evidential purposes only.

Police Major General Jamnong explained that he was angry the picture was released with a caption in Thai Language suggesting the officers were gambling

[bangkokheat]

its just a cover for the table in case they spilt the DICED vegies

[robia6]

'it might be that they were testing and checking evidence'

Has anyone on here ever heard of a dice that doesn't work?

[petercool]

I'm sure it does no good for many here to see the obvious truth printed above in the "Update".

Bad jokes or skepticism seem to rule instead of common sense.

Pity.

[IAMSOBAD]

So...why dont they bring in all damaged jet skis to the station for further investigation? Then the police bosses can look at their equipments damage

Lies Of Shame or Land Of Smiles...Same Same.

A re-enactment of the crime?

Just a roll of da dice!!!

[salty]

Nice tablecloth.

[atyclb]

"testing and checking evidence"

Sound reasonable; about as reasonable as sitting around the station "getting high" after a drug bust.

[Basil B]

Nice tablecloth.

Could be interesting if someone were to actually start selling them as tablecloths

[pattayadingo]

Hysterical.

[Semper]

I like Hi-Lo.

[LennyW]

I like Hi-Lo.

I've heard Sek LoSo sings a canny tune too!!

[meatballs]

Wow. A terrible crime has been committed.

[Riley'sLife]

Every time there is a wedding, a funeral, or a monk ordination ceremony in our village there are six or seven tables with these cloths openly in use. I think there would be a riot if the police tried to stop it! Two cock-fighting arenas are also within 1km, same going on there.

[lizardtongue]

Please give these hard working police a break isn't obvious all they were doing was improving their math addition skills, simply adding the numbers together, nothing more than that
