paul,
would you know if they get paid.?
the word "volunteer" makes it seem like they dont.

I've enjoyed all 4 episodes so far (thanks for the links paul) and look forward to the rest

I always thought those Walking Street Farang Cops were cop-wannabe-wankers, but I have to say I see them in a much better light now. The show has done wonders for their image, I think

No Anthony,
They don't get paid, and even have to buy their own uniforms. It's just a bunch of guys that felt it was needed. And as you can see it is very much needed.

Yes DC,
I felt the same way about them in the beginning. Then after chatting with Paul, and thinking back to the old days, when it was the farang Vs Thai or the cops, you don't have to guess too hard who always looses. At least with these guys knocking about, we all have a better chance of fair play.

Two transsexuals arrested following recent death of Indian Tourist.

Pattaya, October 3 [PATTAYA ONE NEWS] : On Friday in Bangkok a press conference was held at the Tourist Police Headquarters led by Police Lieutenant General Tangai, the Commissioner of the Central Investigations Bureau to announce the arrest of two suspects in the recent case which resulted in the death of an Indian Tourist who was drugged along with his friend by the suspects and then robbed of their possessions. It is believed that Mr. Amint Anand aged 25 had a reaction to a sleeping tablet which was put inside a drink and suffered a heart attack, based on initial findings by forensic doctors. The case was taken up by the Pattaya Tourist Police and since Wednesday, Police Lieutenant Colonel Suwan, the Officer-in-Charge of the station led a team of his officers on a hunt for two transsexuals, Khun Pongsagorn aged 24 and Khun Prangshompoo aged 25. Arrest warrants 905/2552 and 906/2552 were issued for the pair who were eventually tracked down and arrested. Khun Pongsagorn was arrested in Rayong while Khun Prangshompoo was arrested at the Southern Bus Terminal in Bangkok. Both were initially taken to Pattaya for questioning and then taken to Bangkok for a press conference. They confessed during interview to their involvement in the case but claimed they had no intention of causing either men serious harm and only wanted to steal their possessions as they were both saving up for gender re-assignment surgery. They later returned to Pattaya where they were transferred to Pattaya Police Station and formally charged with murder.

No BH, as it sounds like the same story, which came from DC's missus, and she probably was talking about this story. I can't find anything of this incident in Phuket.

Aye Pete, I hope your not missing any of the documentary ........ I'm still wondering who that LB was that got arrested in Pook's in it ....... any idea?

Probably with two wives and 14 kids, no evidence of the LB's working from any bar, and one of them looks like an old skank, but the other looks like a cracker. The Indians were probably patrolling the beach, looking for a cheap ride. It amazes me how quickly they can be picked up from anywhere in Thailand, and how quickly the cops get a confession out of them too. Not only on this case but most of them.
