Jonathan Fairfield Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Police parade down Soi Bangla to inject confidence into Phuket tourists Phuket Gazette PHUKET: Boots hit the ground in unison on Tuesday as Phuket police officers paraded down the island’s premier party destination, Soi Bangla, to boost tourists’ confidence in public safety during the holidays. “Police must remain vigilant throughout this time. The high season of Phuket is in full swing as we celebrate Christmas and New Year – both of which are celebrations that could attract criminals to our island,” said Phuket Provincial Police Deputy Commander Peerayuth Karajedee. “In order to further boost crime prevention efforts, police, military personnel and police volunteers will be patrolling tourist areas to ensure the safety of locals, expats and tourists.” Full story: http://www.phuketgazette.net/phuket-news/Police-parade-down-Soi-Bangla-inject-confidence/62708?desktopversion -- Phuket Gazette 2015-12-24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaiduncankk Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 (edited) I have nothing to hide, but when I see them en masse, I tend to move elsewhere. Edited December 24, 2015 by thaiduncankk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zaphod reborn Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 The high season of Phuket is in full swing as we celebrate Christmas and New Year – both of which are celebrations that could attract criminals to our island. I can see quite a few criminals in that photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FourAces Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 They were injecting something, not sure that it was confidence, more like wind up their own backsides Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansgruber Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 I thought those ATVs arent road legal. They break the law even for a media oppotunity so why would anyone respect them and the law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klauskunkel Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 (edited) now they have instilled confidence into this week's tourists, what about next week when we have new tourists? Shall they be deprived of confidence? I say "no!" Tourists need confidence at least once a week. Edited December 24, 2015 by klauskunkel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emster23 Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Randy Newman's song "Jolly Coppers on Parade" flashed in to still functioning portions of my brain case. https://youtu.be/UyLevk3oSGc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhizBang Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Inject confidence? More likely fear of what the police are up to today. Criminals, one and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangon04 Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 "Police parade down Soi Bangla to inject confidence into Phuket tourists " about as much as any other parade in Soi Bangla...... TAT should book them weekly - or maybe every day at exactly 18.00 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duckmandon Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Yes and while they were parading down Bangla Road the criminals were robbing, raping & murdering elsewhere. Good job BiB. Maybe do your jobs first then think about the parade! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDave Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Maybe they were patrolling to ensure that all of the sex show touts had the proper placards and "uniforms". A couple of nights ago, I noticed that all of these touts have new ping-pong show placards with a marijuana leaf graphic. They also seem to have "uniforms", as in polo shirts with different colors being worn in different sections of Bangla. Maybe they've taken a cue from the tuk-tuk "association" and started up a sex show tout association? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
