It seems there must be a 'new broom' in the area.......Last night around 18-30 a crowd of police were in the village stopping ALL motorcycles & searching the occupants & bikes for drugs,2 women were searching the females ,a tent was erected nearby carrying out piss samples,2 pickups were already full to the gunnels of youngsters who had been arrested.....This had been carried out in Banmai the previous evening.

Sounds like they knew that was the village to target buttslap

no use unless they repeat the exercise irregularly. Somebody coming up for election in the near future?
-
Rival gang probably paid the police to carry out the checks! moneysmile
-
Doing the same in Nong Ki around 22-00 hrs last night
-
Surin has been heaving with Police road blocks for the last couple of days. Prior to that they had a huge seminar in the Thong Tarin Hotel a week ago. Maybe discussing corruption and how to make more money ?

Some of us have been here long enough Davu, to know what we are talking about. nothing cynical about it!

Well said.

well there's my little joke gone splat on the wall behind you guys without leaving a trace. I feel properly put in my place as a newbie, and not for the first time.

The feedback from the other night is ..........10,000baht bail pending court,for those who cannot pay they are currently locked up in Nang Rong police station!!

I give the BIB"S thumbs up on this. thumbup thumbup thumbup

I have been here for many many years and to be perfectly honest have never had a problem with the police.
Have had encounters with the police but never come across any corruption. Have been stopped for speeding. Got a ticket and paid the correct 200 baht fine.

You are a very lucky Farang Its chMe. monkeydancing
So you were given a paper ticket when you paid your 200baht 'fine' , were you?
Either the rest of us are very unlucky or we obviously do the wrong things and go to the wrong places? slapfight
-
Nothing to do with luck. I get pulled over by a Thai policeman. So I ask him in Thai what the problem is.
I don't try to be smug. I don't offer him money, as has been advised on forums before.
No problems then no fine.
Show respect to get respect.

I had a breakin at my Jomtien home many years ago. 13 Police officers attended at 2am.
The following afternoon 2 Police arrived and said they would be able to find the burglar -if i was willing to pay them 6000bt. Otherwise nothing doing!
I had insurance, so naturally it did not bother me whether the burglar was apprehended or not!

Quote of the week award goes to ......... :D :D :D

That's obviously where you are going wrong then.

Nowadays if you get a ticket they normally want 400 baht,,,,the tollways around Bangkok its 800 if you are lucky ,1000 if you're not

Keep your speed down, don't drink and drive and generally drive carefully and sensibly and it won't cost you a single baht!
-
Well, you'd think that was the case but now on two seperate occasions whilst driving on highway 24 back from Korat I have been stopped and told I was speeding. In fact I was travelling at 90kph on a road where the speed limit is 100kph. On both occasions the police officer informed me that ' today, the speed limit is 80kph '.
-
There is no 100km/hr speed limit. The maximum on motorways is 120kmph whilst on all other roads the MAXIMUM IS 90 or less.
The answer for all farangs living in Thailand (i.e not short term tourists) is to say ...OK lets sort it out in court." You'll be on your way with no problem very quickly.

I stand, or rather sit corrected

Good advice about the drinking and driving,you could end up throwing beer all over yourself on these terrible roads,especially if your DRUNK. happybar happybar happybar I will drink to that.

But it all revolves around the police and alleged corruption.................A natural progression Nookie!

A little add on,the ones that are out on bail have to report to Nang Rong Police Station once every week
-
Once a week reporting whilst on bail. So what about the poor bastards that could not come up with 10,000bt bail? Confined to the police lock-up until the Judges can get up off their arses? Serves them right!!!!

Still locked up..........Perhaps they may just learn something!!!

This maybe fall out from a drugs raid i witnessed about 3 weeks ago,there was approx 30 under cover police and they rounded up 7 guys and im told a considerable number of tablets,
Maybe they have been talking or the police already knew were they had been supplying.
