The officer, who asked not to be named, told The Nation on Monday that the proposal raised by Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) governor Thapanee Kiatphaibool could not be implemented due to the restrictions of Thai security law.
“I believe this project cannot be done because Thai law does not permit foreign officials to join the operations of Thai police. It will clearly break the law,” the source added.
The TAT governor had raised the idea at a meeting with Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin on Sunday. The premier had summoned her, along with representatives of the Tourist Police Bureau and the Central Investigation Bureau to discuss ways of boosting Chinese arrivals and counter fake news doing the rounds.
