Thailand’s national police chief gave suffering Plutaluang police
officers a little relief, presenting them with 300,000 baht to complete
the long-delayed construction of a new station.
Gen. Adul Saengsingkaew visited the Plutaluang construction site March
16, giving officers permission to rent a house to use as a temporary
station and presenting them with cash to get work started again.
Plutaluang is just one of many police stations stalled by problems with
the Royal Thai Police’s contractor, which publicly blamed the weather
for delays. However, problems began before and have continued after the
rain fell.
Despite working out of house, police have to continue to serve the
public, which relies on them, Adul said.
