You did have the option of helping this woman, but seems as you are untrained, unskilled and totally unable to offer any kind of professional assistance you just made her day far worse than it was to start with, then, in your own words, "I was able to make my excuses and leave, retreating rapidly to my hotel and a cold Chang."
Fukwits who have no training, no skills and "make excuses to leave, retreating rapidly for a cold beer" are quite pathetic, imho. You should stick to meeting ladyboys on the internet, buying wigwams and writing tall stories...
I hope that's made you feel better.

Here are some foreigners who become 'Tourist Police':

i won't bother to even begin to explain to u, because it is clear to me that you are severely lacking in the brains department.
Go fuck yourself - and TD can ban me as well, because I don't want to share the same internet ether with an ignorant [at][at][at][at] like you
^ calm down, calm, down...

No need to meltdown or flounce over a little disagreement.
You must know that folks that have no skills or training but seek out a uniform with some power attached are thoroughly disliked in society.
Now, sorry if I came across a bit strongly and no need to take it personally, but I fukin hate: 1) untrained people sticking there noses into situations and making them worse; 2) folks who love to wear uniforms and seek out power. They are both little dick syndrome, mate. No offence...
Before you get all wound up Simon the TPV [Farang] had decent intent from the start and in theory only......but developed into a dark and nasty scheme - as it remains today. Thugs.Quote:

Betty pull yer horns in a bit. You don't have all the info to be making critiques like that.
Simon, we know you have a sense of humour, just extend it a bit and don't take the written word so seriously.
You are both good posters and I for one would not wish to lose one over this, which I see as a big misunderstanding over a few ill timed criticisms.
Now shake hands and come out spitting. :)
^ ah the voice of reason, blaady spoil sport. :)
Fooking stupid Thai policeman. This man came to my house 12 months ago wanting to see my passport and know some other details. Today, the same twat turns up. He asks the same questions as last year, mother and fathers first names etc etc. The twat makes a mistake on the questionaire. My wife goes and gets a roll of this
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2015/07/1768.jpg
The idiot didn't know how to use it and had to ask my wife to show him. That done, he then asks me where some other farangs lived within the area. The same farangs as he asked me directions for last year. Are these fookers for real?
Little let down yesterday, local candle festival, our kids march in the parade, rest of the outlaws went to town, FILs court case.
I was expecting the leech to be sent down, but no, about 7 pm they all return, most disappointing, how could he have gotten off.
As this is a big face loss for the outlaws, I get told nothing, all secret business, but it's not over I find out.
Seems there are 2 possibles, one is, yesterdays hearing was some kind of mitigating sentence thing, people come and say how good a man he is,
loves Buddha and old dogs etc, or they have been released on appeal.
All very slow, think I heard some talk about hiding out in the jungle, Lao side.
Before computers wanted people would disappear for awhile, until the paper work got lost, bit of grease and the file would be lost.
Hope he runs, computers never forget and he can never come back, fingers crossed.
Feck,feck,feck.
Just cut the fecking privet hedge fecking thing its time to get a decent fence put in.
Welcome to my world:)Quote:

It is going to be like everything. Probably some decent blokes in there, with an aim to contributing and giving something back....Quote:

Well, you need to qualify the "the tourist police do a damned fine job" statement there Ccc.. The foreign volunteer ones down Patters way are shall we say, 'less than stellar examples'...Quote:

The thai Tourist Police here in Bangkok have abysmal engrish skills and I've never see a foreign TPV here in my neck of Bangkok, not that they don't possibly exist just that I haven't ever seen one.
There is a good Liaison Translator program run out of the Lumpini Police Station, but those foreigners NEVER (or let me say very rarely) go off-site or out of the station. Instead they deal with the people who come in whether it be because they got something stolen, or were caught doin' something wrong..
I dabbled with them a while but couldn't take it.
Firstly, because the police didn't act to me like they were the least bit appreciative that I was there translating for them. Secondly, it got to where I couldn't look a foreigner in the eye with a straight face when they started their statement with "I took a thai girl from the side of Sukhumvit Soi 4 last nite at 2AM... blah-blah-blah... just woke up now, all my stuffs gone, but I have her name, it's Porn." or when someone was caught out with weed and said, "It's not mine, I was holding it for my friend"... I just couldn't take it any more, but it did let me understand why the thai police think foreigners are a bunch of dumb half-wits.
I'm still friends with a lot of the officers there and I refer foreigners who I think could or would fit in down there as translators. I just drew the line in the sand about volunteering for them if they wouldn't at least gimme a lip service acknowledgement that I'm spending my time helping them. It was nothing against the thais, as I'm that way with foreigners too.
Simon needs to grow a pair and make the police hang with him if he's gonna do that crap for them.. Having them take two hours to get there and then cut and run at the hospital is total b/s.
If you're referring to my comments about Thai police then this was a local idiot and not the other idiots at immigration. Same same but.......Quote:

As for Simon, he seemed like a straight up nice guy when I met him. Hope he comes back on here, I enjoy reading his honest input about his travels and traumas.
I have to note that simon apparently last checked in with his last post to Boo, above.
I do hope he has not flounced, I have always enjoyed hs posts, and he has taken the ragging in good spirit.
Simon, if you do check in, shrug it off mate - you are a contributor in the best sense, even though you are as mad as a bag of monkeys sometimes.....555
I am thankful I do not live or even visit an area that would require "Tourist Police". The entire things sounds absurd and quite honestly embarrassing. To be in or live in an area that requires that would make me leave or move the next day.
I've never been to Pattaya nor Phuket and thankfully will never ever go.
The only sound comment regarding the subject matter of Tourist Police.Quote:

Something I'm still ignorant on after nearly 10 years. Tourist police - Immigration police, are they the same?
My take, and i will take advice from others, is they are different.Quote:

Immigration police: tasked with enforcing immigration. At airport, the office you report etc. Mainly interested in burmese, lao, cambodians. Not really interested in you, but part of their portfolio.
Tourist volunteer police: farangs who work with the tourist police. no real legal status for arrest, supposed to be fluent in Thai and another language, get to wear a nice uniform.
