Too bad if you need a new jacket and live in Chantaburi  

[Idiotabroad]

I wonder how that will affect the price of peanuts in the area.

In the last ten days I've driven over two thousand  kilometres across fourteen provinces through numerous checkpoints. I was stopped about a dozen times, mostly being waved through with a smile.

Only three times was I asked any questions, "where are you going to?" each time. I was not asked for either my licence or I.D. at any time.

In seven years I've still never been asked to show my passport other than at an airport, immigration office or hotel check-in.

Last month I went from  Samui to Bueng Khan altogether we drove exactly 5000kms a few checkpoints of course maybe a dozen, stopped with a smile but every time we were asking for our driving license,  they had hardly had a look at it and gave it back in a few seconds, sometimes where are you going,  one word answer Bueng  Khan or Samui, OK go .

Are you an Indian, African, muscle bound tattooed biker type?

[SpeakeasyThai]

Even harder to get a decent Curry going forward then. 

[toofarnorth]

I can imagine 17 indians booking up 2 minibuses.  " Do we need a reservation ? "

Nope , only if you are North American Indians.

Get a real deep tan and you'll soon see a difference in Thai officials once they intercept your Journeys ....................

Chantaburi is an area where a lot of gemstones are bought and sold.  The Indians and Pakistanis are big rip off merchants in all the gem sale areas. That is probably why they are there

[RichardColeman]

I'm guessing they got a tip off from a street hooker after the group asked for a discount.

As far as discounts are concerned Indians men are unbeatable

Are the cop's pink shorts part of a new move towards neutral gender uniforms I wonder ?

[atyclb]

2 years in jail seems to defeat the purpose of the reason for being arrested

No it's that you are preprogrammed about colour of clothes.
