zanemay Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 Yes...Last night there they were, a couple of teams of four guys, looked military. One per team had automatic rifle. I saw a farang soldier in the group, same uniform as Asian guys. They had fancy military vehicle parked, Humvie or equivalent, new and freshly painted. Lettering on the side, "SWAT. Anti-Terrorism Unit." I saw them questioning some Thai guys. One had kind of long hair and interesting look. I don't think they were talking to girls, but most of the girls were scattering. I wonder what's up? Has anyone seen these guys anywhere else? Who is funding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drogon Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 SWAT with one farang and only one weapon per squad plus having long hair???? Must have been a joke or something strange like a movie because Thailand is a crazy country but not to this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zanemay Posted October 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 Okay...Let me try again. The long-haired guy was a Thai guy sitting at the beach and he was being questioned by a patrol. The patrols I saw had 4 soldiers and one had a very real rifle. Nobody was shooting a movie or spiking my drink. Having thought this over a bit, I believe they are exactly what their vehicles said they were and they were doing what they were supposed to do. That is, they are an anti-terrorism force and they were engaged in a patrol for that purpose. This was a serious and well-funded effort. Must be funded by foreign money. As I said, they weren't bothering the freelancers. There are plenty of tourist police and their volunteers that do that. Unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
