Law enforcement gets off lightly againAn old 2014 photo of a 'Ja Choey' (literally an 'indifferent Pol Sergeant' in local language), mock-up officer used to deter lawbreakers just metres from the scene of a fatal crash at an intersection in Bangkok which claimed one life and injuried three others. He too is demanding strict traffic law enforcement. It is remarkable that Thais, who routinely break traffic laws, suddenly become law-abiding when they travel to or reside in another country where law enforcement is taken seriously. It's the seemingly ubiquitous presence of active law enforcement that does the job. What are the chances of Thailand ever achieving a similarly effective -- and fair, I should add -- standard of law enforcement?
