Tourist Police 1155
Posted On Wednesday, October 29, 2008 at by tomwang
Tiaw Thai fair or "Travel Thailand fair" was held in Central World this week. It is organized by Tourist Police Division. The purpose of this fair is to promote tourism in Thailand and to improve the economy situation through tourism.
Tourist police in Thailand work separately to the normal police. Their main responsibilities are:
- To prevent crimes and protect the benefits of both Thai and foreign tourists.
- To support and coordinate with government and other organizations regarding tourism activities.
The uniform and vehicle of tourist police is also different to those of normal police as you can see in the pictures. Top picture is their cute mascot boy and girl in the uniform and below is their vehicle that is quite easy to spot. If you have any troubles about getting around while you are traveling or you think you are cheated by any mean, 1155 (tourist police) is the number you can call for help. There will be someone who speaks good English and also some European languages to assist you.
Tourist police head quarter is in Bangkok. The address is
