Is it a coincidence?

It seems since the military removed the Pattaya police chief there does seem to have been a more positive approach to poling in the city and its adjacent areas.

This action seems to be reflected on a national basis as well, perhaps the shackles have been removed from the police so as they are able to act as part time law enforcers instead of full time unofficial ''toll'' collectors.

Nuh - a copper's missus probably managed to pick three up and down and got stiffed on the 28K Baht payout.

The police are just removing their competition.

Seems like tossing tadpoles to the piranhas while the big whales swim away.
