Saltire Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 I live in Kanchanaburi near the Myanmar border. If I am driving my own car I get waved through the many checkpoints every time. If I am in a minivan, in 3 years I have never been asked to show my passport, while everyone on the bus has their ID checked rigorously. A smile would be enough for the policeman to ignore me. Until 2 months ago when an obviously more senior policeman asked me for my passport on a minivan trip. He looked at everything, not just a glance. Checked my next 90 day card and TM30 slip, as well as extension. Gave me back with a smile, but my gf and I were a little stunned after years of never being asked. In that area I believe they are looking for illegal workers and drugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzarella Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 In 15 yeas never had any problem with police officers in Chiang Rai. One time an officer stop transit on a main road in both ways to let me cross on my bycicle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
