Unfortunately this is the only kind of 'check and balance' here.

"check and balance"

I guess you mean cheque (or cash please) and bank balance.

Perhaps they should operate within the laws!  I compare 'under the laws' to be similar to 'under the radar'.

They have all year to check these establishments. Why do it in the Xmas Holiday week.

Were they really checking for safety norms or were they slalking to find some farangs to apprehend to submit pee tests and try to extort money ?

Because the bars make more money, like when the US Navy arrive in Phuket. There is more money to extort!
