rasmus5150 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I love the campaign called "Police help me". It surely is aimed at people who have the burden of too much cash, and the police will come in a flash and help you take it away. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deckape Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Why don't they just create a 911 type of system? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAMMartin Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Heard this on the radio this morning - "the push for life button has been installed in Central World shopping complex", was the announcement. is it just the one button? which of the 11 floors is it on? if I'm being attacked and need help - how do I get to the only button? However, they did say a button will be put in all 8 Centrals, so if I can't find one in Central World I can always run to Central Embassy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuskfish Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Why don't they just create a 911 type of system? Completely agree I remember when I first came to Thailand asking people what the equivalent number was so I could save it to my mobile... nobody had any idea what I was talking about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dddave Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Picturing Bangkok's somewhat notorious ambulance crews all converging on the scene at the same time brings to mind a similar scene in that very old but truly funny 1950'S British movie: THE LAVENDER HILL MOB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
