The aim is not for the shirts to replace their formal police uniform, but rather to be worn at social events where they are directing traffic, for example.
The white shirts have ‘Kamala Beach Police’ written on the front, and ‘Police’ on the back.
Peter, the owner of the Aussie Pub, told The Phuket News, “I didn’t do this for brownie points, or to make sure we are protected.
“I thought it was a nice idea for when the guys are a bit more visible, and they can wear them instead of their standard green uniforms. They’re for social wear.”
