SURIN: -- A newly built police station is making headlines for being the most luxurious in Thailand.

The Khwaosinrin police station in Surin, a Northeastern province 457 kilometers from Bangkok, doesn't just serve as a place to detain criminals, it also has an outdoor studio for nuptials to take pre-wedding photographs as well as a field trip venue for high school students.

The station boasts full access for people with disabilities, hotel-standard bathrooms, a small hydroponics vegetable farm for domestic consumption and cutting-edge fire alarm system.

Check out photos of the Khwaosinrin police station [more...]

Convert it into hotel and start business.

It's not THAT luxurious. Though the outdoor fountain/studio is a little over the top.

Could be worse - they could have built a golf course instead of the hydroponics farm.

Hmmm.....where I come from they grow things other than vegetables with hydroponics!

I hear crime has gone up just so people can spend the night there.

It is a plus that they have included the handicap ramps - maybe they will be included in other new public buildings and facilities.But are the toilets etc handicap friendly ?

Surin and luxury don't fit too well together

Is this really news???

Suppose all that Import/export (gambling & drug) money has to go somewhere. 555

That is what any police station and any other government building should look like.

That is actually what government buildings look like in Europe.

Always complaints when police stations are dirty, not wheelchair friendly etc.

And now they do it right and we make it sound like it is too luxurious.

Clean, wheelchair friendly, nice toilets, some decorations and extra features, well done boys !!

Way to go !!

Here in Pattaya, specifically Banglamung, on Sukumvit road is a "Police Resort", or so the sign says. <deleted>? I guess they need it for trysts with mia nois and other questionable practices. "Your bribe dollars at work".

All sounds very nice, but...

I wonder who has been paying for all this then?

Perhaps they have financial links to a wealthy monk?

" coming soon perhaps"

Is that NZ you are from ? If so it is probably "electric cabbage" they are growing.

Different province so maybe a different monk?

S'funny, I just drove past his Wat and all the big posters of him have been taken down.

So what?

They still cannot/will not arrest law-breakers, stop drunk driving, catch criminals, etc.

They just have a better place to hang out and collect tea money.

Amazing Thailand tax dollars at work.
