forang Police in Koh Samui what is your take?

[BigC]

do you like see westerns dressed like police.

isn't the reason people leave thier own country is to go to a country that is more free and relaxed.

now we have some bullied forangs going round in uniforms and looking silly. they might aswell be dressed as clowns becuase the thai's don't pay any attesnsion to them. they just laugh.

so do I.

if any forang policeman started larging it around me then he will be sorry.

what is your take on it?

[LivinLOS]

Been discussed many times.. Look for volunteer threads..

[BigC]

i dunno why the forang police don't volenteer to join the samui rescue team.

there again that involves real work. for hard people. that would help foreingers more. More accidents with forangs than crime.

there proves my point. just some bullied at school people larging it up in some uniforms

Do we really have to go down this road again!!!

The Tourist Police do a brilliant job & yes, they are all volunteers.

I happen to know a few of them personally in Patong.

Before you go shooting your mouth off at them, I suggest you have a chat to one of them & you can ask them what they do & why they do it etc etc etc.

In a nutshell, they are there to help farangs & assist them...even to the point of assisting a farang who may have got on the wrong side of the Thai law.

They aren't out there to arrest any farangs or stir trouble.

as long as no power is given and they only mediate and translate think its a great idea.
but would be pissed if they had powers.
can you see it in your own country me thinks not.

[BigC]

why do they carry hand cuffs if they are not going to use them?

if they have no powers then i can say what i like to them or about them without them doing anything. like if i was to have an argument with some person in the street.

on the surface there say they are here to help.

they are here to help catch forangs. when they are off duty they are super grassess.

we don't want them we don't need them.

they did the same thing in america that help bring down the Italian mafia by not just recuiting white people from Ireland. when they started to recruit any nationaliy/ white black an Spanish. all the crime started to fall apart.

my point is that a forang policeman has one agender that is to look squeaky clean but be a nasty and as devious as the rest of the criminals.

if you are arrested for a small drug affense. then i bet that the infomation supplied to the police was supplied by a forang cop. just ;et the thai go in a cuff the suspect.

they drive in cars of 2

thai and forang.......NO GOOD

[BigC]

basically a good cop bad cop situation.

forand give infomation to the thai cop.

the thai arrests you.

then the forang trys to help you get out.

good business

No idea what a 'small' drug offence would be, but that's enough now, this thread is closed.
