-- In SILOM COMPLEX SHOPPING PLAZA, (by BTS.Sala Daeng, [S2.],), the Sec. Gds. used to be readily indentifiable by their uniforms: white shirts, with gold bars on blue & slip-on epaulettes, over dk. blue trousers with a couple of gold stripes on each leg. Additionally and occasionally one was warned of their aproach by the chatter on their walkie-talkies.

-- But no longer.
- For the past few days at least one, tallest, tanned & hawkish-looking face has been in plain clothes: white shirt with bk. neck-tie, and an ID. hanging-down fron LEFT breast pkt., over dk. blue trousers; no walkie-talkie that I heard or saw.

-- Possibly, with the start of the Tourist Season, the Sec. Gds. are trying a plain clothes approach to deter the mainly farang cruisers who are seeming to become MORE plentiful these days?
