friend owns a restaurant, known him for years. Not farang. He paid 10k a month (few years ago, pre covid) and then a gang of cops came in from Bangkok and hit him up for another 10k. No girls, just Indian food.

Because they can. A bar-owner (well more of a nightclub owner) I knew said he paid one lot and that was it. He occasionally got police from other regions coming in trying it on and they were sent away with a flea in their ear.... and he got on the phone to the guy he did pay!
