It's not really their job to harass people on a night out...if it was really their intention it could be done other ways, you can't be that naive surely

It is just convenient that those they want to check up on have all gathered together in one place... no other real opportunity !

The tourists are 'objecting' to being hassled by immigration whilst they are doing nothing wrong having a good time?

Do you happen to have a link to an actual tourist who's objected?

 

It appears it's mostly, if not exclusively, ANF Posters doing all the objecting, or rather whinging, as usual.

No i don't have a link, but according to the article, tourists were objecting on social media?

 

"On the other hand, tourists complained on social media that the inspection is over the top and making their holidays more stressful."

going around random streets at night asking tourists who are on holiday enjoying themselves to see their passports is NOT good police work.

 

It is harassment, plain and simple.

 

where else does that kind of thing happen apart from North Korea?

China Russia?

Large number of Chinese tourists already arriving Down Under, esp. in Australia, but also New Zealand... Won't be long till the masses arrive in Thailand.
