49. The police are actually Boy Scouts
"Be prepared" is a motto many of us know, and the Bangkok police live it everyday. An example: because of the city's legendarily bad traffic, being stuck in a car while, oh, say, giving birth, can really put a damper on things.
That's why many of the police are equipped with special clippers that they can use to cut an umbilical cord. Back-seat births happen more often than you'd think.
