Pattaya`s Tourist Police In Anti-terrorist Training In Central Pattaya

[Pattaya_Fox]

Pattaya`s Tourist Police take part in anti-terrorist training in Central Pattaya.

Following a preparation meeting last week, officers from Pattaya`s Tourist Police Division are currently undergoing a five day training seminar at the Grand Sole Hotel in Central Pattaya. Anti-terrorist experts from the Department of Defence sub-office at the American Embassy in Bangkok are conducting the training. It is hoped that by the end of the week, Pattaya`s Tourist Police will leave the training with extensive knowledge on all aspects of terrorist activities including detection of possible devices and observance of suspicious activity which could lead to a terrorist attack.

Nice to read that they are getting some serious training

Might it not be a case of the blind leading the blind? Didn't see too many success stories on American anti -terrorism over the last few years. I wonder if they remembered to bring a translator with them, or do they still think if they shout loud enough in English, everyone will understand?

We`ll never know Mobi how perceptive, well trained and informed on terrorism the tourist Police will become until an incident is prevented.

Lets hope it never comes to that.

The press again poking their noses (hands) in looking for that explosive story

I wont hold my breath. The cynic in me says if the police can't even see with their own eye's that Pattaya bars remain open for the most part 24 hours a day in definance of the law (regardless of the stupidity of that rule), I somehow doubt that they are suddenly going to be finding a more elusive subject like a terrorist - or perhaps what the savvy terrorist will do is just hide in a beer bar at 2.30am - no chance of ever getting spotted

I think if any of you are around, you better check out these so-called Americans.

This story sounds like a bit of "commercial" propaganda.

To my knowledge the Thai Military and the IDF (Israeli Defence Forces) have had at least 20 years of co-operative reciprocal training.

Why suddenly switch to the second best?

Strange, I was living with the ideea that the only terorrists in Pattaya are the journalists, the mafia and the police, I've never seen other terorrists...
