What is the colonel “even will have a sticker of Police of roads to the front of your vehicle get you past our audit,” said today. “These days we find drugs in the cars driven by men in costume.”

With more than 60 fixed cameras through Phuket who can now save some traffic, the Road Police violations are an example of how offenders face of road traffic on Phuket and around the area of the Andaman Islands.

“Many visitors think that Thepkasattri Road is a super highway of the kind they have in Europe,” said the colonel. “Our radar tends to slow down if they get a warning”.

The maximum speed permitted on any road Phuket is 90 km/h, he said.

He added that there were six on Phuket highway patrol officers and 30 more operating across Phang Nga and Krabi.

Local authorities have benefited from these fines ranging between 400 baht and 1000 baht.

“Our undercover vehicle is not identified by the drivers until they are taken on a little further along close to a Highway Police vehicle,”, said Colonel Suko.

“We also draw on trucks overweight, persons who are disobeying the rules of the road, drivers who stick to the right when they should be in the way left, and vehicle suspected of carrying drugs”.

Part of the role of Colonel Suko is to visit Phuket schools to promote the message of the fight against drugs.

While the Road Police are using the same laws as the Royal Thai Police, they are a unit of the Department of highways. Colonel Suko said that emergency telephone number 1193 is manned 24 hours a day.

Phuket Highway Police had earned the price excellent service for the past two years, he said.

In March, Phuket police said Phuketwan that the network of security cameras introduced at major intersections across Phuket would be eventually used to capture photographs of people wearing no helmet step and other offences, and that fines would be delivered by mail.

PHUKET: I’ve led Hill Patong Phuket City this morning, with water falling nonstop. The rain started at 21: 30 while I was covering the football. If it stopped everything, I have heard it.

My better than the larger vehicles increased motorcycle. In the area of Police of Tungtong on Patong Hill Road, motorists have been in a long traffic jam.


There were rivers that crosses the road at various points on the Hill.

I spent the place where the road has developed a hole, a couple of years and has been repaired – so far, so good this time. No hole yet.


I have transformed into Prabaramee Road and verified Kindergarten Council of Patong. Parents who were genuinely concerned about flooding collected their children from the beginning.


There is congestion more hospital of Patong and Kathu Police Station – days like this must be really difficult for emergency workers.


Behind the Mall Jungceylon, the water was size of depth in places and flowing very dangerous speed. Officers of the Council were trying to inform people not steps to wading in it, but there is no judgment of some people. Perhaps they were heading out for lunch.


I checked in some stores where people were very disturbed. Whenever a large vehicle passed, waves would be sent in the shops.


SOI Nanai appears to be a prohibited area. Rain fell still when I led on the Hill.


It will take days mop up and evaluate the full damage. Here’s hoping for the rain to stop quickly.
