Why does the army have to do the police´s job??

Because the RTP act, so often, like keystone cops and all to often, with the thought of a brown bag somewhere?   Yup, let the no-nonsense guys do the job.

A nice bit of bright news to cheer up a somewhat overcast day here in Patts, carry RTA ramp up the effort and soon the taxi mafia will not know if the next passenger is a real customer or an Army spy ready to ruin your day

Perhaps the reply should be :"and you cabbie, have you paid full taxes and is your car legal, have you recorded all the runs you have done so the taxman can claim his share of your earnings?"

It would be interesting if something was set up to catch the police officers?

Pretty pathetic that the military has to do the job of the police. Well done to the military men and shame on the police force.

Good job. Keep it up and deplete this cess pool of oxygen thieving, evil pricks.

They missed out Pratunam?

There is only one group worse than some of the taxi drivers - and that is corrupt politicians and police. I can only guess that the military man heading the Government feels a little uncomfortable in dealing with them, possibly because at the next coup his head would "roll". And there will, inevitably, be another coup, part of Thai culture I suspect.

Off with warnings or suspended sentence?

Well done the military....now it's time to focus and get rid of the other bangkok taxi driver thieves who refuse to put the taxi meter on or who cheat on the toll charges when driving tourists to and from the airport....it is giving a disastrous first image of Thailand... the trolls would come up and claim such stuff is random and not an issue, but we all know how hateful it gets when it can be prevented.....well done the army once again....
