Excellent work, far too many foreigners coming to this country and leading devout religious Thais away from the straight and narrow!

Perhaps Thailand could seek further advice from Mr. Trump!

Unfortuneatly, there will be a lot more crime issues such as this being reported.

As the economy slows, and these peole do not have work, the crime rate will increase.

There appears to be signs already in Pattaya that many of these workers do not have jobs on the building sites Etc, as I have seen large groups just roaming around aimlessly wondering how to get money.

The report is their answer

You beat me to it!

I think there are about 25 people in the pic with only a few police men at the front.

You'd think they'd just busted a Columbian narcotics ring!!!

They are "for the day police volunteers" paid 500B extra to be in the photo...

I think they have a rule that everyone who's been involved in the case need to take part in the group photo.
