CUSTOMS SCAM AT NONG KHAI BORDER

nong khai BORDER , where i was virtually mugged and set up by false customs oficers with false identity cards just laminated, tried to put cartons cigerettes IN MY BAG while i was argueing, wanted 40,000 baht, i refused because i knew it was a scam as friend had same last year, so careful when walking to get your car after a visa run towards 7/11 shop..........the lookout man is dressed in plain clothes with lots buddha chains around his neck and looks like a tuk tuk driver he sits on the grass looking for alone farang .... he jumps at you pretty quick with loud voice and aggressive , around behind the bushes are his buddies with false id cards tell then to f* off and walk back to customs and inform them , i was told maybe off duty police from bangkok doing it????/

Phuket Police warn Soi Bangla street touts in Patong: ‘Hands off tourists, and no drinking on the job’.

Police warn touts -who the police...because it continues to say...no drinking on the job... who? the police or the touts?

Does anyone know if there's Brazilian jiu-jitsu/ grappling in Chaing Mai? I've been here for 2 months and haven't found anything. Pedro Lott (a brown belt from BTT) was at Chay Yai Gym, but now he's in Australia. I'd be interested in any BJJ/ grappling clubs too if anything like that is out there. I've been training for about 6 years and am nearly a purple belt if that makes a difference. Please let me know if you have any info/ suggestions. Thanks.

As far as I know there's no Jiu-Jitsu clubs in Chiang Mai. I'm currently coaching Judo at the Chiang Mai University. As you well know. there are some similarities. In Chiang Mai there is: Tae-Kwon-Do ( several clubs - one just opened on the Hangdong Rd), Karate, Aikido and of course Thai Boxing. That's about it.
