PATTAYA, Thailand – “Work is life… but the people around us are strength.” That message rang loud and clear on the morning of July 16, when officers from Pattaya’s Na Jomtien Police Station stepped in to assist a stranded Russian couple whose motorcycle battery had died in the middle of Sukhumvit Road.
It was around 9:40 AM when Police Lieutenant Thanyawisit Saengpho, Deputy Inspector of Patrol, along with Sergeant Major Yuranan Prasertsang and the motorcycle patrol unit, spotted the couple in distress. No roadside assistance in sight, traffic whizzing past, and no Thai language skills to ask for help—the moment could’ve easily unraveled into anxiety and frustration.
But instead, uniformed kindness showed up.
The officers immediately stepped in to help. While the Russian couple was safely transferred back to their accommodation in the police pickup truck, one officer climbed onto the stranded motorcycle while another—riding a patrol bike with the engine running—used his foot to push the disabled bike along the road. It was a display of practical teamwork and quiet heroism that didn’t go unnoticed. In Pattaya, duty often comes with heart.
“Keeping people safe is more than our duty—it’s our mission from the heart,” said one officer. “And the smiles we receive in return? That’s the best reward.”
As Pattaya continues to welcome tourists from around the world, moments like this remind us that what visitors remember isn’t just the beach—but the kindness of those who wear the badge.
