Over the many trips I made to Thailand, I was always intrigued by a group called the Royal Thai Tourist Police. http://phuketdir.com/pkttouristpolice/ The name itself conjures up images of police that deal with tourists and by default tourists who get into trouble in Thailand. There are references to this group everywhere, in magazines, on billboards and most notably their presence on foot in most of the main events and attractions where tourists go. They even have a telephone number speed dial of 1155.
