Just an observation like, but elsewhere in Thailand the security guards seem to favour their uniforms just two sizes to big for them, however here in Hua Hin I notice they're far bolder and opt for three sizes too big. Maybe it's some kind of fashion statement that's far too 'street' for me, maybe it's cool these days to give the impression of a schoolboy wearing his grandad's suit.
However, their loss of credibility in the suit department is more than compensated for by their 'weapon of choice', the whistle. A close inspection of the Hua Hin security guard's whistle reveals they are Grade 2 standard, which is actually the approved standard for European football's governing body, Uefa.
The Hua Hin security guard could not however, enter their whislte in World Cup finals, as FIFA specify only Grade 1 whistles. I'm sure though, many of you like me, would wish to see their whistles enter them on occassions.
That is all.

Yes I think that clive has made an astute observation. There does seem to be a connection between tightness of fitting and seniority.
The animated character that directed me back on to Petchakasem when trying to park my bike was worthy of being photographed and entered for the worlds worst dresser competition (currently held by the ex owner of Top Marks Hotel).
All I could see was a tuft of hair, a whistle, ten finger tips and a pair of toe caps. I could only assume that the occupant was indeed of the human species despite the fact that he was deaf and dumb and only communicate with the aid of a whistle.

I suspect that the uniform requires to be loose fitting to allow the security guards' room to inflate their lungs to give the whistle a right good blast.
There's nothing worse in my opinion, than a mealy mouthed feeble whistle.
It causes confusion and I challenge anyone to park correctly in Tescos car park or manouevre through any other appropriate spot without the correct tone, volume and length of a guards whistle to guide you to your destination.
It just can't be done. You wouldn't arrive if it wasn't for that guiding whistle.
In any event, the Hua Hin guards uniform is similar to the traditional UK guards uniform, where they wear a shirt collar 5 sizes too large and a black tie which tries manfully to close the collar to the neck.
I haven't noticed, but do the Hua Hin guards have soup stains and fag ash on their uniforms as well.

if i was sitting out all day like them in the heat i'd wear it 100 sizes too big and just sit there in the neck in the shade in my nickers with a fan on me to scare away any thieves.
I'd put my whistle down the front of my knickers rather than up my ass after beans as every last inch counts and be thankful also i don't have to put them extender things i've heard about in the condom to keep the ladies happy.
Really fair play to them for doing the job just to never work with thieves themselves as to what houses were empty etc.

Security guards?
The answer to the question of why the security guards uniforms dont fit and the police uniforms do. .(and very tightly) is simple and not much fun to speculate about.
The guards at the new mall are brand new guys who were probably working construction last week (and they had just come from their village in Isan the week before.) They are totally untrained. .that is obvious, and they just clothe them right off the rack. "Here this might fit, wear this!, All we have left is large! Just roll up the sleeves etc) " No time or money for tailoring. (Police have both and there is some kind of award for the tightest uniform I believe.)
As for the whistles, I want to get one and lean out the window and blow right back at them. Or stop dead and ask them what the problem is and why they are blowing at me.
Feel kinda sorry for them actually. .shit job, pay in satangs, fumes, Thai drivers etc.
So far nothing beats the guard who followed my spouse and I down the staircase at Pantip Mall, blowing his little whistle the entire time. ..and we were already moving right along too!
By the way, notice that if you have a really NICE car and want to show it off, you can park right next to the doors up to the mall rather than hide it in a dreary parking space.
