Thailand is Cambodia's neighbor to the West, and this forum is dedicated to Thai news, stories, reviews, blogs, videos, Thai people and anything else related to the country. A lot of expats have both lived and worked in Cambodia and Thailand, and this area is a place to discuss all aspects of life in Thailand and what's going on there.

Tourist area police take course to learn how to deal with foreigners

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

24 November 2017
- Eighty police investigators from Southern Thailand, including Phuket, Phang Nga, and Krabi, began a month-long course on Monday to learn how to become better investigators and how to deal with foreigners in tourism provinces.

The training, called the “Detective Team training in tourism zone,” is being conducted at the Region 8 Police headquarters at the northern end of Phuket.

Provincial Police Region 8 Acting Commissioner Pol. Lt. Gen. Sorasak Yenprem said, “The training is being held to develop the skills and abilities of all investigators. They have to be responsible and serve tourists and foreign investors. It is very important to provide this support to local investigators so they can discover the facts and gather evidence in conducting investigations,” Gen. Sorasak said.

“It helps them to work faster and helps improves their problem-solving skills,” he added.

In addition to learning investigation skills, including how to gather evidence and question witnesses, the investigators will also undergo shooting practices and receive marital arts training,” Gen. Sorasak said.

The "smack them around the head with a truncheon and ask questions later" technique has always worked fine, no need to change anything.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Yes, and related English language training:
- "You pay me 500 (1000, 2000, 3000, 5000...) baht now."
- "The location of the cigarette butts indicate suicide."
- "Obviously he tied his own hands behind his back before he hung himself."
You could be next.

I was teaching English to a class of Thai policemen for a month or so.

They took me out on the town when we finished the course...weird, man, just weird.
