[bangkokstick]

Will they have coyotee on the cars ?

"...launches Road Show to boost tourists' confidence."

Will this "road show" include tourist vans doing 200 kmh on two wheels in the wrong lane?

The standard Thai approach - claim you fixed the problems, smile and then do nothing! But never, ever tell the truth.

What a crock. They will lock the doors, sit inside and watch Thai soaps and stupid slapstick shows 24/7.

HAHAHAHAHAHA! Very appropriate term ROAD SHOW! That's all it is. A photo moment!

More like a comedy show ! Given what goes on here, who has any confidence in the BiB?

Definition of ROAD SHOW

Merriam-webster

1

: a theatrical performance given by a troupe on tour

2

: a special engagement of a new motion picture usually at increased prices

3

Credit where it's due, they used the correct English term at least.

No need for road shows and other useless drama. Just do your bloody job and arrest criminals. That will boost confidence.

Exactly right but these morons are unlikely to ever do that.

Road Show "they are on a loser to nothing"

[NomadJoe]

each equipped with a toilet, sofa bed, kitchen, LCD TV, security surveillance system, office equipment, an ipad and wifi for searching tourist information

Breakfast included?

More importantly is it guest friendly?

It is VERY easy to avoid crime in Thailand

Yep, go to Cam instead.

[TackyToo]

They leave no chance to promote their incompetence.

I think these mobile stations are a great idea...someone is thinking out side the box

The next time the BIB kidnap a tourist and hold them to ransom, they don't need to take them to a hotel, the mobile station is fully equipped to accommodate the victim in comfort while the ransom is being negotiated and of course being mobile these stations can be used country wide thereby increasing the revenues.....genius.....sheer genius

What a stupid comment! What good is it without an ATM.

I do not know the other places but in Phuket I can tell you that people (especially business owners) start to be extremely weary of 'clown shows' claiming to fix problems here.

Who needs an ATM, so yesterday, as pointed out in the article the mobile police stations have full wifi and Internet access therefore online transfers will be used to transfer ransom payments thereby offering better security for the BIB in that they don't have to carry large quantities of cash in case they get mugged by a criminal or one of their fellow BIB officers...

Please understand we are in the age of hi tech extortion, the BIB are keeping up with the times...
