Drunk Driver causes traffic chaos in South Pattaya

PATTAYA:--A Thai man, thought to be in his mid-thirties, stopped his vehicle in the middle of the road, applied the hand-brake and fell asleep causing traffic congestion in the South Pattaya section of the Sukhumvit Road for more than 30 minutes.

Pattaya Police were called to the scene just after 6.30am and were confronted by a modified Cherokee Jeep covered in stickers and badges including a Highway Police Badge. There was also a Highway Police Baseball Cap placed over the drivers dashboard suggesting he may be connected to the Police Division in some way.

So, an - apparently drunk police officer - stops in the middle of the road, goes to sleep, causing road and traffic chaos. When he regains consciousness, he is allowed to drive home!!

This is absolutely disgusting behaviour by the Royal Thai Police.

Unbelievable!! Must be amazing Thailand

Oh c'mon you lot.......

methinks you do protesteth too much !!

We're in Thailand.....

Just when you think that you have seen everything a story like this gets published..........

I wonder if the head of the national police force is aware of this kind of bad press?

In a country where loss of face is so important isn't a story like this a loss of face for the police ?

Maybe I just don't get it ?

Doesn't he get a Hello Kitty armband as punishment ?
