Nemesis7 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 They should just use a normal ID tag, nothing more. As they are volunteers only. Let them wear normal civilian dress. They arent COP anyways. ( though some of them walks and talks like Rambo...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David48 Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 Gentlemen ... good to see some lighthearted humour in said designs ... great to see everyone's imagination working, but perhaps the 'friendly meter' has swung to far the other way. Is there no middle ground between 'The Village People' and a Gestapo outfit? ... and before anyone suggests it ... no ... the wombles do not qualify!

Udox Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I think half the problem with their image is the use of the word 'Police' Without getting into discussion about who they are or what they do (or think they can do) Why not have 'Beach Patrol' - in a more 'relaxed' uniform - and portrayed as someone to help Tourists with directions, First aid, lifesaving and in some cases helping with information in disputes or to victims of a crime. Far too many look (and think) like Rambo - because they are allowed to - and have the word 'POLICE' displayed prominently. The very word 'Police' is the problem (in my humble opinion) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaniel Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 (edited) They should just use a normal ID tag, nothing more. As they are volunteers only. Let them wear normal civilian dress. They arent COP anyways. ( though some of them walks and talks like Rambo...) I always thought the black storm trooper type outfits were way over the top for TPV's in Pattaya. And of course all the police/military type gadgets attached to their belts only added to a somewhat overpowering look for a person that has no police powers. I think some, if not most, of the TPV's are on some kind of ego trip (cop wanna bees) and the couple that I approached over the years were, although not hostile, weren't particularly friendly. I think the TPV's are a good idea. My suggestion for a uniform would be simple khaki slacks or shorts, white tee shirt and cap. And a attitude change for some of the volunteers!

mrtoad Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 There seems to lots of references to the Pattaya Tourist Police (and Volunteers). Is that because they are very active there? ... maybe more respected? Asking ... not telling. I think respected is one word that is not normally associated with these types of Walt, certainly though they are laughed at. The antics on Big Trouble in Thailand of these special people cemented their infamy some years back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MZurf Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Cargo pants in some nice, cream colour. A fluffy light blue or pink Polo shirt with the words "Tourist Assistant - Big Hug Available!" prominently displayed on the back. That should make the worst stormtrooper spawn quit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thailand49 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 (edited) It they had to dress and look friendlier they would all quit. The only reason they are into this stuff is for one thing their ego! The only thing they have going since they have no power unless a BIB is with them is the way they dress! And just watch the Thai police with them too their ego are so inflated that they have a atta boy tagging along.

stoli Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Are the Tourist Police not a separate entity to the volunteers? I believe that I read 3 months ago that they would be combined. Now if they can just adjust their ego's. I certainly am not saying all, but some should not be on the force. They are just there for the power trip, and the brass knows who they are. Easy to identify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khun Paul Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Most are frustrated peole who could not get a job in a real Police Force in any event. The fact that they swagger about and portray intelligence issomething I smile at gently. being an ex-coper myself I think they should do what they were intended to do assist when requested by the RTP to help a foreigner, NOT to STRUT ABOUT.OFT TIMES THEY HAVE TOLD ME THEY KNOW THE LAW AS THEY ARE THE POLICE, i JUST LAUGH AND IGNORE THEM. THEY ARE TO MY MIND PITIFUL EXCUSES FOR THE REAL POLICE WHICH IN MY BOOK AREN'T MUCH BETTER. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
