Torrens54 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Top Marks to the Tourist Police. We can only hope that these scum-bags are locked-up in some stinking hell hole and then booted out with a "never to return" notification on their Immigration records. They may have stuffed up their own countries, we don't need them doing the same in Thailand, in particular in CNX. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loptr Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 I hope they are deported and banned from re-entry. I thought this type usually confined their holidays to Pattaya. Doesn't bode well for Chiang Mai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elektrified Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 The 4 guys under arrest appear to me to be U.S. soldiers; possibly U.S. Marines. Does anyone else share that view? I have seen that tourist policeman multiple times over the years including at an eviction in my moobaan. I believe he is the top dog of the tourist police. I hope they deport these low life's right away. Armed with knives and machetes on the streets of C.M? Outta here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loaded Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 (edited) I think I would act pretty angrily if a middle-aged farang in uniform started telling me in Thailand what I can and can't do. What qualifications and training do you need to have in order to wear one of those uniforms? I know spicey stays open late, but it's broad daylight in that photo.

Ummmm I would tend to err on the side of caution no matter who is in the Tourist Police uniform, or are you just against any form of authority? These 'farangs' who wear the uniform actually do a damn good job, and more often than not pull stupid drunk idiots out of the gutter and out of troubles way. Maybe one day you'll change your tune should you be the one in need of their assistance. There is NO excuse to carry knives or machettes as a form of self defence. As has been in the past with Spiceys..... if you go looking for trouble then you will find it, or it will find you.

You can act as angrily as you want but I assure you you want Laurie on your side if you find yourself in a dodgy situation he speaks fluent thai is HIGHLY RESPECTED within the Chiang Mai Police force and he is a fair decent bloke (he is Australian though so we have to excuse him for that) He has been with the TPD for more than 7 years and has just as much experience and training that any thai policeman on the force. Instead of getting angry for no reason, you would be asking for his help especially if you find yourself getting angry at the wrong person just as these thugs have done. He will now help these guys with translation and let them know what is in store for them. Edited July 14, 2013 by DiamondKing 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loaded Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 I don't want to get into a fight but I don't respect the Royal Thai police nor the farang wannabes who hang on to their tails. If you respect them, fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think it would be reasonable for them to first defend themselves before passing judgement? You sound very much like Thai justice to me.

DiamondKing Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 None of us know the specifics of the case nor the things that led up to the detention of these guys and as for it being light outside Spicy is well known for closing when the sun comes up so that could be the reason. Either way I am sure those that are visiting Thailand appreciate the Farang Tourist Volunteers since in a foreign country where the cops dont speak much english can be intimidating and scary for those visitors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hear hear, I fail to understand why some people have to 'dis' those in the community that provide a quality support service to those that otherwise dont deserve it. As you said Laurie is someone to have on your side, and he provides a bloody good service. He has my support more than the idiots with the knives. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nattydread Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 in the pic it looks like the cop is asking the thai guy on the end why he was carrying a machete....I haven't seen too many farangs out tooled up with one have you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmsally Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Where would those guys carry machetes, wearing vests and shorts? It could be just as likely they picked up the knife from a local vendor/house/attacker as defence from someone else carrying a weapon?! Thats not the sort of weapon that looks like it would belong to a farang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
