Police officer, Bangkok, Thailand
During my trip to Thailand this year I spent halloween in Bangkok. After seeing some extremely creative and interesting costumes and make ups I also spotted the police officers who kept the peace. Thailand whilst being under the military rule after the political tensions has now given more power to the police. It is interesting to see how well this transition had taken place. Alcohol wasn't allowed to be sold on the pop up bars on the streets after 12pm anymore and neither were clubs and bars allowed to be open (unless they had a special arrangement with the local police :D) Nonetheless I felt much respect for the local police force and felt that they acted out of best interest for the locals and tourists enjoying themselves in Thailand. For anyone who has not been there GO! A country as rich in culture, great food and amazing people is hard to find. There is so much to see and experience. I have not once felt unsafe in Thailand and I have been to rougher areas. Bangkok itself being the capital yet still rich in culture and traditions, hard to find another major city that still has so much variety being offered. Anyhow due to assuming wish to be anonymous the two police officers I have spoken to I will not name. Got to love the Ronald McDonald statue in the background.
