Pattaya28 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Last night i walked from Soi 13 to Walking Street and back. Probably 3 kilometre total walking. Did I see any "orange shirts" ? Not 1. All I saw was a few BIB under their tarpaulin shelters FB messaging and talking on their mobiles, oblivious to the world around them.

OZEMADE Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Good Idea, get some other foreign volunteers involved. Good non scary uniforms. Should whack them over to Jomtien Beach as well, it's popular and a longer beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillLangdon Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 (edited) Since the BIB don't ever bother with the beach mafia (jet skis thugs) what makes you think Police in orange will be an improvement? The fox guarding the hen house, no? Please dont delete this comment Edited November 26, 2014 by WillLangdon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marinediscoking Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 One thing I have noticed in the last few months, I don't hear the drug dealers saying "marijuana, or cocaine when I walk by them. This is a good sigh as it used to happen without fail before. They don't seem to be gone but just linger in along the walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Jomtien too. There was one guy, one a bicycle all done up in rasta colors with ganja leave motif. Did I read he was in the monkey house now? I have a feeling these new security will get rid of the girls and grass (the fun stuff) but the jet ski guys will keep on going.

slygeeza Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 (edited) they are clearing the beach of girls every night now, but still no orange shirts. I hope these girls are questioning why in the freest country in the world they have to pay 200b to be in a public area, but i doubt it Edited November 27, 2014 by slygeeza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EyesWideOpen Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 these guys arent volunteers, they all have guns, however I very much doubt that apart from the PR they will exist in reality, there was no sign of them on the beach tonight but maybe they were taking a well deserved holiday, but time will tell Has this already been started? I got the impression that it is in the very early days so far, so perhaps it's not been rolled out in full yet. I do think this is a great idea - the new high visibility uniforms look great, and obviously much cooler than the standard police uniforms. Well done! It would be great to see this put into practice at all tourist beach centres throughout the country. they were on the beach yesterday being filmed by a TV station, they were wearing guns so they arent voluteers. today the only police to be seen were the 2 in standard uniforms that attend the jetski scams opposite Mikes, if I may be so derogatory. I also think its a great idea, but weather they come out again is a matter of speculation indeed I keep meaning to head down to Mike's shopping mall and watch the jet ski scam unfold. Would be a great idea if some Thai could set up some bleacher seating and then sell tickets to clued in tourists.... :-) Am amazed that there would be a real uniformed policemen attending the jet ski scam assisting the scammers. I thought standard MO was to use a tourist policeman " am so big sorry Indian man, you must to pay 50,000 baht or you go monkey house". I pray for the day when Prayut brings this national shame of a scam to an end. The money involved must be staggering.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joesanunu Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 still no sign of them It's been several months now. How has the 24 hour security patrol effected the crime on the promenade? Is it safe to walk along there at night now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
