Stickman har en udmærket sightseeing rapport fra Chao Praya, med billeder! Endvidere er der masser af nyt, tips, tricks og gode råd: http://stickmanwe...-River.htm Sprutkørsel i Phuket, det koster 10.000: "A friend was pulled up on suspicion of drunk driving (a well-founded suspicion) at the Kathu checkpoint. The cop did not know how to properly operate the breath tester but simply pulled a printout from the bottom of the device and, without examining it, tossed it into a bin with a huge pile of others, no way of identifying whose was whose, then announced "mao" and demanded 40,000 baht! 6 hours later, at the police station, with assistance from a serving police officer, who is actually a farang friend of my friend, he was allowed to leave the cop shop uncharged, but 10,000 baht poorer." Gruppenführer Howard Miller er klatret op ad den sociale rangstige i Pattaya, hvis sådan noget egentlig findes derude i syndens by! "Howard Miller, the friendly Brit who runs Pattaya One and is perhaps best known as the leader of the Farang Tourist Police Volunteers in Pattaya, has been appointed as the new British Honorary Consul General for Pattaya. He will replace long-serving Barry Kenyon who has performed the often thankless duties of what is an important role for a long time. Despite copping a fair bit of criticism from some quarters, I have always found Howard to be a good sort. He's well-connected with an extensive network of contacts and has much experience dealing with problems in Pattaya, all of which will be invaluable in his new role. His appointment commences August 1st. Congratulations, Howard. I'm sure you'll do a great job." Stick og Howard må absolut være "best pals"! Jeg synes det er en skandale...

Godt at høre at retfærdigheden sejrer.... ad hælved til..... Gruppenführer Howard Miller er klatret op ad den sociale rangstige i Pattaya, hvis sådan noget egentlig findes derude i syndens by! "Howard Miller, the friendly Brit who runs Pattaya One and is perhaps best known as the leader of the Farang Tourist Police Volunteers in Pattaya, has been appointed as the new British Honorary Consul General for Pattaya. Jeg synes det er en skandale... PL Jeg har altid tænkt på HM som Obersturmbahnfûhrer, men hvis du siger Gruppenfûhrer, så er det okay med undertegnede. At betegne ham som Obersturmbahnfûhrer vil nok også være at give ham for megen credit. Men under alle omstændigheder en uniformfetichist. En brunskj.... øhh. sort uniform med tilhørende herligheder: fløjte, knippel, skrårem og udmærkelser fra McDonalds, som han alt sammen selv har bekostet mens han passer sit ubetalte job som lovens uforfærdede forgangsmand på sin utrættelige jagt på syndere, der har sat en øl for meget på bar regningen eller tilsvarende uhyrligheder. Med sin fremragende beherskning af det thailandske sprog (Sawadee... What??), og sin baggrund som reject indenfor ethvert embede/profession indenfor militær/ordenshåndhævning/you name it i sit eget land og som kronisk arbejdsløs i Thailand er han det indlysende valg. Hvilken instans har udnævnt den karikatur til host, host... jeg kan slet ikke tage ordet i min mund i forb. med ham. Det må sgu da være en joke. |

For ikke at tale om den her kommentar jeg fandt på nettet. Jeg var i Pattaya under optøjerne et par dage, da jeg ikke kunne tage tilbage til Bangkok og af forskellige årsager ikke kunne tage til Koh Samet. Det er sgu utroligt hvad den by kan samle på. Men det kan jo heller ikke blive bedre når Det Royale Britiske Udenrigsministerium, finder på at udnævne en person som ham som Konsul. Helt sygt, men han skal vel pippe med de mennesker som han er iblandt. Ops. kunne ikke kopiere videoen som bliver nævnt nedenunder, og nu er jeg for træt til at finde ud af hvordan man gør  "Interesting post made about a year ago" We wrote a few weeks ago we thought the Pattaya news channels should stop showing dead people on Television. Now one of the most prominent leaders of the Pattaya media has been caught stopping someone from filming him. A letter was also sent with a video to local media Here is the video from the tube alone with the letter from the man doing the video. To the Editor, Pattaya Daily news. I wish to inform you of an encounter I had with 2 members of the Foreign Police Assistants on the evening of 3rd March 2009 in Walking Street, Pattaya. I’d observed a lot of police activity that night, some of which I had filmed, so curiosity got the better of me and I decided to have a drink at a bar near the Tourist Police “station” to try and see what was going on. I recognised one of the foreign guys in uniform as Howard Miller so I thought I’d get some footage of him and his comrades in their working environment, as were many of the tourists passing by. The next thing I know, completely out of the blue, I’m pounced on by Howard Miller and another guy who wasn’t wearing a uniform. (I later managed to identify him as Paul Harrison, recently featured in a story on your web-site) I was told, in no uncertain terms, that I wasn’t allowed to take video. Miller also asked me why I was filming “covertly”. I was holding my camera (which is a large size for a video camera) on my lap for comfort. It was obvious for everyone to see that I was filming. I was hiding nothing – and it certainly wasn’t “covert”. I like to take video of people unaffected by the lens – not performing or playing to the camera. This is the first time in 15 years I have been told to stop taking a video in Thailand. The tone of Miller and his accomplice was arrogant, authoritative and intimidating. I was also very embarrassed and humiliated by the attention this drew from the other people in the bar and the bystanders who began to gather. Miller went on to explain that the media had been writing bad things about them and for all they knew I may be from the BBC or CNN. ( I thought at the time, “Don’t flatter yourself!”). If I was connected to such an organisation then apparently I would have to have authorisation. I told Miller he was acting paranoid and pointed out the fact that several tourists had been taking video of his team while I was sitting doing the same. When I asked Miller’s sidekick who he was, he replied, “Tourist Police” and attempted to search for some ID, which never materialised. I was previously under the impression these guys were civilian volunteers whose mandate was to assist foreign tourists. And here I was being interrogated by two guys acting as if they were police. Not volunteers – not assistants, but enforcers of the law. I tried to remain calm, but inside I was raging as I finally realised why these people have generated so much concern among the local community. If they were like this in full public view, how on earth did they behave in a more controlled environment. Ironically I did have some sympathy for their plight, and the maybe unjustified criticism they’ve been subject to in the media. That is definitely no longer the case. The Tourist Police “headquarters” is set up in a dominant position in an open public area free for all to see. What exactly is Mr. Miller afraid of? I would like to ask Mr. Miller the following: 1. On what authority was I being questioned by you and your assistant? 2. Is there a law in Thailand against taking video in Walking Street? 3. Is there a law against taking video of a group of foreigners in uniform? 4. If there is why didn’t you ask one of your Thai police superiors to speak to me? 5. Mr. Harrison was out of uniform and presumably off-duty so in what capacity was he assisting you in your interrogation? Finally I’d just like to point out that Mr. Miller himself makes a living from the broadcast of video footage featuring victims in hapless and stressful situations, in their homes, workplace and in public areas, and I would hazard a guess that neither he, nor his staff, obtained permission from his subjects prior to filming nor to publication. The hypocrisy here is blatant, and I think it’s a bit much that he should react when the cameras are finally turned on him. I include a link to a video on Youtube, to help your readers draw their own conclusions. http://www.person...t-pattaya/ |

Stickman interviewer Howard Miller : (2008) A "Normal" Guy Living In An Extreme City He doesn't drink, smoke and seldom goes to the bars, yet he heads up one of Pattaya's media organisations, quite remarkable given that he is so young. As one of Pattaya's media moguls, you've probably seen or heard some of his handiwork in Sin City. And in addition to running his media empire, he puts in 6 hours a night, 5 nights a week as a foreign tourist police volunteer. This week we had a chance to meet up and discuss life in Sin City, what it's like to run your own media organisation, being a tourist police volunteer and what it is like to be one of the ten most influential farangs in Pattaya. I introduce to you Mr. Howard Miller.  [img]http://www.andrew-drummond.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/howardmiller1.gif[/img] is not a valid Image.
