SURAT THANI — People who think that policemen can get away with parking anywhere they like haven't been to Surat Thani lately.
The proof is in the picture that went viral after it was shared on the Surat Thani Facebook page on Friday. It shows a parked Mitsubishi pickup truck with the standard police shield and the name of the unit to which it belongs — Provincial Police Region 8.
What's unusual is that the right front wheel of the pickup is clamped and there's a parking ticket on the windshield.
"My appreciation for the good example and equal treatment," wrote the pertson who posted the surprising image.
A subsequent investigation found the truck had been parked on Ratbamrung Soi 2, where parking is banned on even-numbered dates. The sign to that effect was right next to it.
Pol Sen Sgt Maj Sangkhom Tiangpranee, head of a traffic unit at the Muang district station, spotted the truck when he was patrolling on a motorcycle at 7am on Friday. He reportedly stopped, clamped its wheel and wrote a ticket.
