In the last year or so they have set up a checkpoint on Beach Road Patong almost every night - smart, as there is no way to avoid it. Before that they used to operate on the second road back, which was easily circumvented.

 

Looking at the map, there seem to be hundreds of side streets that could be used to avoid any checkpoint?

You are obviously not familiar with the area or the exact location of the checkpoint whereas I ride through it 5/6 nights a week - those with local knowledge will probably agree with me.

 

Happy New Year!

We’ve heard it all before of course.

 

Nevertheless, Thailand’s new national police chief has vowed to crack down on drunk drivers over the upcoming New Year holiday.

Shouldn’t this crackdown be going on every day?
