BANGKOK, September 2011 (NNT)-Deputy Bangkok Governor Mr. Theerachon Manopaiboon said cavalry police would be employed to create picturesque scenery around Sanam Luang in a bid to boost tourism in Bangkok.
Mr. Theerachon said Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) and Metro Police would implement the plan to boost tourism in the capital city once Sanam Luang reopened after being closed for renovation.
Policemen on horseback will not only be employed for tourism purposes but also to keep law and order along with city rangers particularly the problem with drug abuse and prostitution around the area. They will create a positive impression on the tourists who come here on a daily basis to visit the Chapel Royale, Wat Phra Kaeo, the Royal Palace and other tourist attractions nearby.
Cavalry police is expected to patrol in the evening from 17.00 hrs – 18.00 hrs starting this Saturday onwards. Initially, there will be 4 policemen on horseback but they will be reduced to 2 per shift later on. The BMA will support policemen financially and is expected to buy more horses in the future.
