The whereabouts of the Pattaya Police Chief, Police Colonel Supachai, is currently unknown but he is thought to be somewhere in Bangkok with his wife, Khun Juriporn, who is reported to have close affiliations with the Red Shirt Protesters.

Now lets see if they will apprehend the driver of that dark blue Honda Civic from Soi 4 North Pattaya ,who sells drugs to tourists.

Just look for that distinctive logo on both front doors.

Who do I contact for hiring jet skis now?

[somchaismith]

This should have happened years ago.

[slipperylobster]

That's nice. Perhaps some people with their hands in the till are not sleeping tight tonight.

[sscsamui]

Right on... Power to the Military....

[JoePai]

The Thai Navy

[cacruden]

Have to fund the coup somehow

Who do I contact for hiring jet skis now?

Who do the owners pay off now?

The Thai Navy

When you take it back, if they say it's damaged....................................it's damaged!

Royal Thai Navy seize control of Pattaya Police Station? As if there weren't enough seamen in Pattaya already!

[ronthai]

Soldier boys + Ladyboys on Beachroad = ???

[rosst]

This is an interesting development, I wonder if we will see this in other centers??

Is it possible there may be a military led crackdown on corruption??

In my opinion, it can only help.

[WitawatWatawit]

Will the coup leaders follow the example of Georgia and sack the entire (well, almost) police force? I wait with bated and hopeful breath.

Then there would be loads more irate tooled up idiots on the loose!

Didn't he just spend 3-4 million baht of his own money to renovate or expand the police station? Thought I read

a story about that 6 months ago or so. Don't think he got much of a return on his investment. Looks like Suthep

will be auctioning off that position shortly.

Seamen or semen

Yes, that is the intended pun exactly.

[songhklasid]

What's that song by village people, ' in the navy' Ladyboys in full swing before curfew sets in.

ha ha

S.S.

The question remains where he obtained "his own money" for the renovation.

From his salary?

[belg]

all those poor hookers & drug dealers, they will lose so much money.... revolution is comming

looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool

and the poor quality tourists looking for a bargain on the beaches at night

[Strangebrew]

Guess that will cut down on all the bribe and tea money

[JackJD]

THANKS to all the intelligent commenters who made the many humorous remarks... got my day off to a laughing start!

[kerrysum]

That's nice. Perhaps some people with their hands in the till are not sleeping tight tonight.

Just my opinion too .......... I heard that coming in and out of Thailand, but I guess it wasn't for the tourists...... They want them to report, after all, where is the responsibility.....

kerry

[wprime]

Good! It's about time someone cleaned up that mess.

I hope they find enough evidence to warrant a few executions.

[petercool]

For all the hype and type there seems to be no validity to this story. As at this time, Police Inspectors are at their desks as on any other day ......

[Albertosez]

A curfew in Pattaya ? I will have to go and have a sneaky look if that one will work ! Pattaya normally wakes up at 10pm and goes to sleep to 5am - so that will be interesting. Testosterone levels will be at a all time high in Pattaya come next week, it won't be red shirts that are rioting, it will be the bare chested beer swilling tattoo army that will rise up for a battle next week if their " widgers can't Widgure " due to the curfew !!

[elzach]

Was the curfew enforced in Pattaya? 50% of the locals didn't make money last night?

[JoeLing]

All bars closed?
Wonder how many people jumped of their balconies last night?

As Rod Stewart would say "we are sailing, we are sailing" BUT to where? Police Stations don't float very well.
