Arrested them while they were still asleep?

Off topic posts removed. This is not about Red Bull.

you never now with those sneaky reds

at the end of their last terrorist campaign, they abandoned wearing red so they would be less of a target

so these could well all be reds and maybe the two wearing red weren't

Arrested them while they were still asleep?

Just shows how efficient Thai police can really be. They do not even have to be awake to do their job. So next time you see a policeman sleeping by the roadside, you can be assured he is on top of everything!

20 people arrested, and all they found were two guns and a few pills? Doesn't seem like a major bust at all.

With all the recent articles about, drugs, crime, prostitution and tourism...kinda makes you wonder WHY the masses are flocking there....

The raid took place in Sattahip. I don't think the masses are flocking there. If however you're insinuating something about Pattaya then I would remind you that Sattahip is to the south of Bangkok; to the south of Chiang Mai; to the south of lots of places; but most definitely is NOT part of Pattaya.
