Friday, July 3, 2015
PHUKET: Bangkok authorities have arrested one vendor and confiscated 1450 items worth about two million baht in raids on stores at Phuket's Karon Plaza and Kata Centre. Ten officers from the Economic Crime Division of the Thai Royal Police saw vendors shut up shop and flee as they approached, leaving just one woman, Srirat Sodarat, to be arrested.

Just walk into central, panthip or jungceylon and arrest the people there who sell copy goods if it's so important to the government.

So, if vendors close their shop before these officer reach their shop than no 'problem'? Officers not demand to pen the shops for inspection?

Net only 1 vendor, and already 2m baht?
And not ordering to open and check all the other shops around? What is this for sloppy work? Police saw(!) vendors closing their shops and flee.

What about all the drug taking paraphanalia openly on show for sale, on the mobile carts, at Tesco lotus Bypass road,Cental Festival and Big C. That's legal is it?
No excuse for not taking action, these items have been on sale for the last ten years.

Sex toys are also illegal. If you go to Bangkok markets, they are everywhere.

I am not sure when they did their last dildo pillage.
