Gsxrnz Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 (edited) Five hundred BIB on parade at City hall. A rough calculation implies that's about 1 million baht saved by the local populace for that day. Think of the boost to the economy!

Popular Post chooka Posted October 7, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted October 7, 2013 Yea right and if they do actually apprehend someone for committing a crime against a tourist it's off to the tourist court for a warm hug and a slap on the wrist. Then it's back on the streets and business as usual. Just more bullshite sugar sprinkling, nothing will change. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emdog Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 well.... it's all relative, or relatives, come to think of it.... but after reading about all the excitement in Phuket, I figure this place could be worse (but don't encourage them!).

PhilipCook Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Pattaya equals reassuring? Well it depends on what you expect. Pattaya equals highest standards? Possible but unlikely. Pattaya equals safe and servicing? Maybe yes, maybe no, maybe neither. Pattaya equals vacation? Possibly in the future, but not in its present form(ie beach erosion, beach road solicitation, speed demon bikes and taxis and buses) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benmart Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I have been visiting and now living in Pattaya for the last 20 years. I have seen positive changes in the policing standards, but unfortunately they seem to have been outpaced by the sheer number of those who would dishonestly take things from others. Civility and respect for others seems to be overshadowed in an attempt to make as much money as quickly as possible regardless of the method. I see a time where the negatives outnumber the positive reasons to come to Pattaya/Thailand and tourists will fly to another venue across the borders to the East or West. The "Cash Cow" will ultimately seek greener pastures if it feels it may be next on the menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there is a massive increase in anti social , opportunistic criminal behaviour. Also Rim , I am sorry it is hard to believe the credibility of this story .

smedly Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 This sort of thing just amazes me - every so often they actually decide to do some police work and act like a real police force Don't they get it ? This should be the norm not the exception - will the penny ever drop - they should be police 24hrs a day 365 days a year - not a little spirt here and there in between collecting bribes and ripping off the public Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
