Flashermac 1403 Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 He may be one of the so-called police "volunteers", though if so why the jump wings? My guess is he's some clown dressed up. I've never seen a Farang police volunteer in Pattaya, but what I'm told is they seem to attract the prats who like to dress up, act important, and throw their weight around. The idea is that they can "help" in situations which require an English speaker. If that's the case, the #1 priority should be that their Thai is very fluent. But I'm told most of them can barely speak the language. Bad idea ... 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Coss 939 Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 My first visit to the Philippines, when I left, the armed guards at the Manila airport, who prevent the locals getting inside, barred my entry and said "wannbyabudge" , which translates as "do you want to buy a badge', 500 pesos for a 'genuine' Police Badge. My current badge says my name is Stillwater Link to post Share on other sites

Flashermac 1403 Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 But a Thai citizen! (I think I know who you mean. I met his mother a few times.) p.s. Mechai Viravaidya's mother was Scottish. His sister, Sumalee, had red hair and freckles when she was younger. Link to post Share on other sites
My Penis is hungry 320 Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Yes - Mum is a great lady, very good mate and I do thin k you've met her separate to me. He is very anit-corruption - which makes it hard to put him anywhere in the police force here Link to post Share on other sites

limbo 66 Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Some where else I read about this guy, Seems they don't trust him enough to give or issue him a gun though. 555 Afaik, Thai police are not issued or given gun, they have to buy their own, right? Link to post Share on other sites

fudgyMcPacker 0 Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Wait, please hold the presses, but now the Pattaya Rag is being accepted as a source of repute? Let's give this guy a break until proven otherwise. He's living in Pattaya, he has himself a nice hobby to keep busy, and it looks like he is enjoying himself. That sounds good for me. As far as visas and work permits, of course he has them, he's working for the Royal Thai Police. Speculation otherwise just brings this board down to the Kevel of Thai Visa.
