It's a bit of a concern that one volunteer runs a loi kroh boxing bar with girls, and another is a webmaster for a site basically promoting sex tourism. The selection process looks robust

Looks like some farang wannabe with the blessing of the local police decided to buy himself a police car (must have been some sort childhood dream), like that bloke in Pattaya who drove around tooled-up like rambo in a yellow Hum-V.

Seems a lot of money to waste on a fantasy

Didn't one of the muppets in Pattaya get busted for Yaba dealing?

Yup, definitely foreign police.

Why is that a concern? I'd say it's a good thing as it means he'll have more experience in foreign tourism, specifically nightlife.

Or are you saying that the standards for foreign police are higher than local police?

photo looks like SK. why not ask Rob? i think he works with them.

It is always interesting to see some of the Thai Visa members attacking members hidden behind their computers complaining about people trying to contribute something positive to the community by assisting tourist and expats that need help or advise in some manner. AMAZING.

I know there are about 15 members in their group working combined hours of in excess of 900 hours per month. (Giving their time free) They work on shifts and call outs to incidents on a daily basis both day and night and I believe they have about 9 different languages they can utilize when requested by the police.

They work under the direction of the Muang Police and work area specific and are NOT part of the tourist police volunteer group which have had issues in the past and they are completely separate group. It’s a new organization trying to make a difference in Chang Mai just attempting to help people and police with translations.

Within the group they have many members that speak fluent Thai, and there are some previous police members, ex military and local business people and other members who are just offering to help people in distress in some way. The formation of this group was made as the main police had a constant stream of foreigners requesting assistance at the police station.

I was told they are holding many applications of expats living in Chiang Mai people wishing to become part of this group however are receiving applications waiting for next course to start.

Everybody has strong opinion regarding this services offered these volunteers but we choose if we wish to use their help or assistance.

Sometimes I wonder as to how many of us expats have actually contributed of done something constructive to the society Thailand other than to post comments ?

[Oscar2]

as far as i know, they are paid. one member told me he was paid. and i don't have a problem with them at all.

'In a very nice 4 wheel drive' .... It's a fortuner..........

The head of Pattaya TP is a convicted pimp. A senior member of the Phuket TP was busted for drug dealing and was accused of using his uniform to extort money from other farang. In Chiang Mai someone has painted his car to look like a police car another owns a bar offering girls and another sells sex tourism. Why would anyone respect these clowns?

[circusman]

Sad. Sad. Sad.

I always wanted to drive a vehicle with zebra stripes on it (a la African safari.) I'll be damned, I'm gonna do it now that someone has broken the fantasy barrier.

[TPI]

C'mon...as Homer Simpson says "give the baby its bottle". If these guys feel as if they're contributing to a better relationship to the BIB then more to 'em. What would all of you knockers say if you had an urgent need for their assistance?

Why would you think i would consider calling these people if I needed help? I cross the street to avoid these types of people.

But he can speak Thai, just ask him, and lets not forget the onslaught of sales pitches on TV at one point. A Trojan in every sense of the word and one wonders how he finds the time for policing given "Since I speak Thai and well I dont do anything much but write this blog, party, screw Thai girls and run a few other websites"

Now nothing wrong with any of this at all......but its hard to see besides a professed language ability how the skills set and ethics relate to policing or assisting police.

This is not anti .... but certainly anti .... policing....and this is not the only star performer they have by any means.

Not a lot in the group I would want help from as far as skill set or maturity...or trust.

I'm with you now..i had read this .... guys blogs a while ago

My verdict...what a self indulgent lowlife pretentious creep... ..very suitable for his 'constable" role...

[FolkGuitar]

For the sake of argument, lets assume for a moment that EVERYONE associated with this group is lowlife pond scum. We won't dicker about that, we'll just start with it.

Next, for the sake of argument, lets assume for a moment that EVERYONE associated with this group has helped other foreigners, be they tourists or locals, with translations when they have a problem and need police assistance. That's what they are about. We won't dicker about that one either.

I think it's probably safe to assume that since they put in regular hours, they have done this more than once or twice... helped total strangers when they need police assistance.

Question: When was the last time you helped a stranger when they needed police assistance? Not helped a friend. Not helped a stranger fix a flat tire or find their way. Helped them when they needed police assistance.

Maybe they are 'wannabe's.' Maybe they are <deleted>. Maybe they are panderers. Maybe baby-killers and mother-rapers. Maybe

But definitely they are helping strangers when they need police assistance. I know that's more than I do on a regular basis. I'm guessing it's more than most people do on a regular basis.

How about we cut them some slack?

[fasteddie]

Oh it's Mr I've got Thai college girls all over me is it, I subscribed to his blog for a while, but like you found him to be totally obnoxious and certainly wouldn't want any advice from him. His view on thai girls is disgusting, a real bottom feeder!

the immigration department should sort this maggot out,

probably got kicked out of the boy scouts for being a <deleted>

and looks like nothing has changed in his life

I would stay well clear of knobends like these

[Trickcyclist]

These so called volunteers and anybody that would buy into a justification of their antics and their nosy parker tomfoolery should be tied to an elephants tail and ..... ...... .......! (Fill in the missing words and win a bottle of Mekon)

There's a hidden agenda here. I hope we don't find when its too late to do something about it.

how do you know? do you even know him? he may just be a clever bloke making money from adverts or page clicks on the internet. he may even be a nice guy. why would immigration care about "this maggot"? nice term for someone you don't even know. i don't know him either... but not so quick to judge.

Go to his blog site and read his opinions, then report back.

Maybe you are one of them..

Or maybe he's just got a better imagination than you and doesn't see everything as black or white or everyone as either completely good or bad. The guy at the desk at the station in town was very friendly and helpful when I went there recently. I know nothing else about him besides his name and that he was an Aussie, but I appreciated his help and I will assume he's a good guy until I know for myself otherwise.

Even if one or two of them are unsavoury characters there's still no need to tar them all with the same brush. I'm sure most of them are decent guys, whereas a fair few of the people making snide remarks here probably wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire.

Don't you just love it when people make stupid remarks and add a smiley at the end, just to let you know how funny they think they are, as if we didn't know?

Looking at the colour of that vehicle, I think he put the wrong decal on the side...perhaps Fire Chief or something
