A group of high level Vietnamese officials visited Pattaya this week. Their first stop was Pattaya Police Station. No they hadn't become the latest tourist victims lining up to make a police report they were indeed senior Vietnamese Police officers paying a courtesy visit to their Thai law enforcement counterparts.
Police Colonel Supatee the Acting Superintendent was on duty to greet the vietnamese delegation led by Major General Dr. Phan Huak Ha, a Deputy Director-General of the Vietnamese Police Force.
The aim ofthe visit was to share knowledge and experience on their ways of law enforcement especially in an international tourist resort scene and learn more about the work undertaken by the Royal Thai Police force in Pattaya. They were given a tour of the 5 star facilities at Pattaya Police Station and the tour culminated with a you show me yours I'll show you mine display of firearms by the Provincial Police Commando Unit.
All this promoting good relations between the Socialist Republic of Vietnam and Thailand must have been thirsty work as the joint contingent were last seen heading towards Walking Street.
