Former NIA deputy director Nantiwat Samart vehemently criticized the proposal to invite Chinese police to patrol with Thai counterparts, labeling it a "slap in the face" to Thai law enforcement.
Samart questioned the rationale behind the initiative, suggesting it implies a lack of capability among Thai police and could set a concerning precedent if other nations also request their police presence.
Tourism Authority of Thailand governor Thapanee Kiatphaibool confirmed that Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin initiated the idea during his official visit to Beijing in October, citing Italy as a similar example.
