Thai policemen - always on duty or not ?

[Nirish guy]

Yes, they can if the situation warrants it.

Thank you SGLAD for a reply that WAS on topic and interesting - unlike all the other drivel about the second war world war etc that has and had FUCK ALL to do with this thread and should be shifted elsewhere ( maybe to a board for children arguing about "we won the war: "No, you didn't WE did" OHHHH NOOOOO, you didn't WE did" going on ad infinitum.

Back to the subject, though i did not read this whole parrotting of we have read this so many times already nothing to do with subject.
Dear NI-what your friend also did not explain to you is that Thai police will only ever get in action if its abundantly clear there is some reward in sight for that.
It does look they were what you call moonlighting, or doing extra overtime in uniform, at probably a regular deal with the barowners in that soi. The agreement is limited to that-any additional actions also need to be rewarded. Plus that probably they did not speak enough of english to deal with this overhyped girlie from Kansas or Oklahoma.
I have witnessed in the past that they threw a similar misbehaving girlie (from UK) out of a guesthouse-even without all her belongings and even passports etc.-but that was whilst on duty and called from the regular station. Even then the guesthse had to provide for extra incentives to have them handle this.
BTW-this girlie must have misbehaved immensely then-Thai bouncers and waiting staff normally rejoice at the prospect of having to throw out and give a firm beating such a miscreature- one can watch this around Patpong and in soi walking/PTY on a regular base. They probably already knew that her wallet was empty.......
