Jailhouse rocks: Thai police go viral for cheeky prison check-in
Wang Noi Provincial Police Station’s Facebook page today shared a humorous post showcasing their prison cell facilities. The post featured two police officers standing inside a jail cell and playfully described the cell’s features and conditions for a check-in.
The post invited readers to consider a stay in a loft-style bare concrete room, measuring 31 square metres, complete with a bedroom and en-suite bathroom. The station offered a rustic experience with free breakfast, ample ventilation, and 24-hour surveillance cameras and staff.
The post also outlined conditions for a stay, which stated that anyone who commits a crime could check in immediately, without any deposit, and enjoy a special offer of staying on Saturday with an additional free day on Sunday.
The post quickly gained traction among online users, sparking over 72,000 likes and 4,000 comments. Some inquired humorously if there was a key card system, whether there were vintage-style rooms available, or if early check-out before noon was possible.
The police station’s page administrator joined in on the fun, responding with witty remarks. The post has since been shared over ten thousand times.
In other police news, responding to safety concerns arising from the daily influx of over 10,000 tourists to Koh Larn, Pattaya City officials have announced plans to construct a new police substation at Tawaen Beach.
During a recent meeting on the island, Deputy Mayor Manoch Nongyai and other officials acknowledged the strain on the current police force from Pattaya Police Station in providing adequate safety and coverage for the popular tourist destination.
To address this, Pattaya City will provide the land and install CCTV cameras, the Chon Buri Provincial Administrative Organisation will supply essential equipment such as patrol vehicles, and Pattaya Police Station will assign additional officers to staff the new substation, located near the Pattaya City branch office at the busy Tawaen Beach to improve response times and police visibility.
