scorecard Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 2 hours ago, SpeakeasyThai said: i was there two weeks ago. About as useless as a chocolate tea pot. Farang colleague just took delivery of new expensive car, it was parked legally, another car swerved into the side of the new car and did a lot of damage. Errant driver kept saying that farang cannot get help from police. Car dealership refused to get involved / give a phone number etc.,and refused to inform the insurance company. Thai bystander (spoke English) gave the guy the tel. no of the Tourist Police. Colleague called the number, about 2.00 pm, woman answered the phone in Thai, Thai bystander took the phone and quickly established he was talking to the maid. He asked to speak to a tourist policemen, response: - 'Nobody here, all staff gone to birthday lunch for porkong (captain / leader) not coming back today.'

elektrified Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 (edited) Absolutely useless. Tried calling them once about 5 years ago at around 1:00 A.M. for some help with an urgent situation. Called maybe 6 times, letting the phone ring about 25 times each. Finally on the 6th time, someone answered who I had obviously woken up. I explained to him (in Thai) what the problem was. He complained loudly and bitterly that I had woken him up, to call back the next day, and he proceeded to slam the phone down on the hook. Totally useless.

They just keep perpetuating this joke called Tourist Police. The big wigs can make all the "word" changes they want but at ground level its hey operation as usual. The chain of command sucks.

I can't see any point for people like me to involve them ( fingers crossed ) because their remit is probably only for the 30-day tourist visas. I suspect if they were asked to be involved with other visa classes, it would possibly be MAI DAI ( cannot) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
