The Thai police as you've never seen them before

Great video and idea behind this, no sure if it was deliberate but I rate this promotion of Thailand well above any of the events that have been hastily arranged to forget recent atrocities in Bangkok and beyond - even in Saraburi held a concert at the army base where a leading profession had been held, without charge, promoting massive negative media focus.

The video has proved so popular the Associated Press has even written about it - see here - after it hit 250,000 views on YouTube.

May I present the Thai police...as you've never seen them before (I hope)...covering K-Pop band Super Junior...


As you may know my father in law is a senior policeman.

He thought this was great and event started joining in the moves, ably assisted by his young grandson with a penchant for singing, dancing and general showmanship.

Am working on convincing him to commission a retake on this from the boys at this station...would be amazing, though they aren't quite as photogenic as this bunch.

Stay tuned for the Nong Khae Saraburi version...

Jon I like the video and the boys in brown are certainly rivals for the 'Laughing Policeman', in fact they'd give the Keystone Cops a run for their money in the entertainment stakes. Talent wise they've got a chance but I personally wouldn't put 'SE' before their X Factor.

I reckon your father in law might be taking up aerobic classes soon.

New stars in the making? We'll be waiting anxiously for the Nong Khae Saraburi remix!
