Yesterday, September 27th 2013, Muang Chiang Mai Police launched a new Foreign Police Liaison force made up of Thai and Foreign residents. The remit of the group covers all normal police matters from immigration to criminal investigation. It is a part of a plan to prepare the province for ASEAN when the number of non-Thai speaking workers and visitors is expected to increase. Congratulations to my new colleagues.

Of course, English is the language of ASEAN and Thailand is ready.
