Police officers from Sean Suk police station who are responsible for keeping the peace in the resort town of Bangsean about 50 kilometres north of Pattaya were made aware that the peace of Bangsean was about to be broken by a bunch of boys with their toys. Beah Road at Bangsean had been designated as the venue for the "Amazing Race at the Beach Road"
Bangsean is well known as a venue for legitimate street racing which is well organised and preparations take months to ensure the safety of competitors and local residents. These races draw huge crowds and TV coverage earning the beach side town millions in tourist Baht.
Today's race drew only a huge crowd of police officers and police volunteers. They welcomed the boy racers with police checkpoints and well prepared handcuffs. Over 80 Thai teens on their mean moped machines were escorted to the police station where their credentials and their motorcycle registration papers were carefully examined by the police pre-race scrutineers.
Some were released and escorted away from Bangsean for others their boy bikes were confiscated and they were sent home to mommy courtesy of the local bus service.
