PHUKET:-- Royal Thai Police Deputy Commander Gen Wuthi Liptapallop today (Aug 19) assured 15 consuls in Phuket that the island was safe for tourists after the bombings in Patong last Friday (Aug 12).

 

Gen Wuthi pledged his assurance at a meeting at Phuket Provincial Police headquarters in Phuket Town this morning, when many of the consuls aired their grievances about being poorly informed of police action in investigating the bombings. 

 

At the high-powered meeting were Central Investigation Bureau Deputy Commissioner Maj Gen Adis Ngamchitsuksri, Region 8 Police Deputy Commander Maj Gen Chalit Thinthani and Phuket Provincial Police Commander Maj Gen Teerapol Thipjaroen.

 

Also present was Phuket Vice Governor Chokdee Amornwat, the superintendents of all police stations across Phuket and a host of other law-enforcement officials.

Maj Gen Teerapol recognised that many people, especially tourists and other visitors, were concerned for their safety after the explosions in Patong last Friday.

No ploblem ... it's all safe ... Jeez  ....

Top RTP brass at a high powered meeting with foreign consuls. How good does it get? 

 

And after the announcement that Phuket and Patong and the rest of Thailand was now safe the fifteen consuls cheered and clapped and stamped their feet. 

 

Surely even a sumptuous buffet lunch of farmed seafood full of antibiotics could not possibly make foreign embassy's believe this nonsense 

 

Bedtime stories don't get any better than this.

Why do Thai police have parachute medals?

 

"The bombing suspects are getting away!"

"I will go up on the condo rooftop and jump off with my parachute!"

"Good thinking! GO!"

A little research may help you to understand why they wear "para wings".

Aha, but they do, GDP+3%, 99.9%happy happy, Thailand is the HUB of ...well everything and the lottery is only 80 Baht and bicycle lanes and zero crime in Pattaya (the Chief said today) and tourism is on the up and up and lots and lots and lots of other things.

And taxi drivers and.....ahh <deleted>

Anyway, a long time ago in a land far far away........sleep well Brer Fox.

 "All members of PARU are trained for airborne operations, including free-fall jumps. PARU can provide support to BPP headquarters within two hours.

PARU also conducts training for the following:

unconventional warfare, counter-terrorism, and parachute training of the Royal Thai Police.

disaster and accident rescue on land and water including air-sea rescue."

 

NO THIS IS A JOKE.

It must be safe- all the checkpoints have been lifted. Nothing to see here, deny, deny, deny!

"Pugh, Pugh, Barney McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble, Grub."

Emphatic blanket assurances like this are dangerous,   might just provoke someone into proving them wrong. 

The middle guy in the back row looks cute. lol

And to prove just how safe it is, they had all on duty cops line up for photo op!

"Tourists in Phuket were safe before the bomb. Now, after the bomb, they are safe, again. They were not safe during the bomb, but that was a small amount of time. If there is another bomb in the future, tourists won't be safe during the explosion, but before and after they will be safe."

15 consuls look at each other...

My guess is that the consuls walked away brimming with confidence. Can you imagine what they really felt? Being told by these guys who are dressed up like law enforcement, wearing badges, and carrying guns, and by all appearances looking like real cops. Yet, not a single one of them, more than likely has any law enforcement skills approaching even a policeman in Burkina Faso. And not a single one of them will ever do anything if there is no cash involved, or pressure from high up the chain. 

 

Sorry guys. Your cover is blown. The entire planet knows who you are. The entire planet does not consider you law enforcement. 

BWAAAAAAAA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!

Ah man that's funny! Made my day!

Didn't you read "high powered, big boys etc. etc." your as snug as a bug in a rug. Somehow I feel what happened is not a one off attention getter. If these nutters are moving further north that means trouble. I notice the big boys in the picture were also attended by 3 guys in the second row. Personal groomers/goofers??? At their level they usually have 3 or 4 each at their beck and call. That is why the actual policing part has very little "working" staff.

to facilitate a safe landing, when jumping to conclusions

It's not a bomb you have to worry about ,it's a group of drunk Thais you need to be careful of ,anything over 5  to 1 and watch out

Thailand certainly does have some top brasses........ but generally not wearing police uniform, unless specially requested!

So no more jet ski scams, no more rip off taxis, no more bouncers kicking tourists, no more cheating, no more foreign deaths, etc.

What we mean't to say was we think it is safe now until next time.

Next breath we must all be careful & vigilant. 

I am really confused

I don't think any of them would bet their houses on it,

it's all just words ,

regards worgeordie

Well that picture is a clear definition of a "charlie foxtrot"

Hmmmm, I just wonder how you expect the police to act in your home countries against RATs (Random Acts of Terrorism). Not been going that well at the moment has it?

Bearing in mind this article is about the recent bombs your comment is completely irrelevant but at least you got to vent.
