BANGKOK — Police say they have arrested a taxi driver who attempted to fool traffic police with his disguise as an army captain.

Somkiat Ekkawipat, 37, was arrested at a police checkpoint near Chalermpong Bridge in Bangkok's Sai Mai district on the night of 21 October.

According to Pol.Lt.Col. Pitak Sutthikul, traffic police ordered Somkiat to stop his motorcycle at the checkpoint for a traffic law violation. Somkiat then identified himself as a captain assigned to the Royal Armed Force Headquarters and attempted to talk his way out of the fine, Pol.Lt.Col. Pitak said.

When police requested his ID, Somkiat showed them a driving license with his captain rank, and scolded the police officers for disrespecting him, Pol.Lt.Col. Pitak told reporters at press conference today.

However, police officers decided to search Somkiat's belongings, and discovered six other driving licenses.

Awesome!

Land of fakes!

Uniform 2000 baht (?) vs teamoney 200 baht ??

Makes sense!!

According to the United Nations, the Royal Thai Police are organized criminals, so the correct headline should be:

Fake Army Captain Busted by Fake police

So a real army Captain would have been above the law??

Silly me!!

To his defence he said.

I was only wearing the uniform because girls like it.

And I would believe him.

You haven't seen the girls running after me when I wear my national Greek costume.

It might work back home for you, but in Thailand maybe the girls are just confused by it.

Funny, when I wear my national costume (lederhosen) girls usually flee head over heels...

An army captain on a Honda Click/Wave. The police aren't stupid as Army Captains don't drive on a click or Wave.

Any way the RTP done their job today to get a fake captain but I would love a headline were the police busted an influential figure but hey impossible as they share the money so here we are with another small story on Thai Visa about a fake captain got court on his Honda Wave/Click to try to impress some girls to have an intercourse for free.

Just the girls....?

"Pol.Lt.Col. Pitak said Somkiat, who makes his living as a taxi driver, bought the army disguises to demand special treatment and service from security officers and private businesses."

And thereby revealing the true nature and reason of those wearing a Uniform...

Such fakes and trickery should be expected when a large percentage of the female population has a penis.

So a real army Captain would have been above the law??

Silly me!!

Exactly. Such is the bendable rules of law in Thailand

Naturally, he reprimanded the police for "not respecting him" as Thais expect being able to flaunt the law with impunity if they have rank and status.

I just wonder why all these uniforms are made so easily accessible to the public?

There must be so many scams using this method that goes unreported.

They may think they were Greek ladyboys

he should have said he was going to a Halloween party,

one thing for certain,

these plain clothes guys are very easily blended in a crowd

That would confuse even the lady-boys.

Good morning Costas. I guess your costume is completed by fluffy balls on top of your shoes....

I am sure if that guy would have posed as a Greek guard, he would have gotten away without a fine.

Land of fakes!

Hub of Bogus Officers!

Stop! You're kilting me!

When government finally comes up with reforms and new charter, can they be charged with promoting fake democracy?

Hmmmm maybe a posible pedo? Kiddy snatcher maybe? Check his past imo....

..............................And not a single finger was pointed on that day!

....you might have to fight off the guys....
