huski Posted November 22, 2003 Share Posted November 22, 2003 in the last few years there has been pee testing in after hours clubs and some farangs arrested. but now what is with these guys? a few weeks ago down in pattaya the police marched in to a go go, locked the doors and tested all the girls for drugs. they let the farangs go, but busted some of the girls. last night at soi cowboy i left a go go and there were a bunch of tables the police were setting up with hundreds of pee cups all over the place. my friends and i left right before they closed the street and pee tested the whole place. we heard later the police closed two bars for the night. also they were looking for passports on the farangs and demanding 1000 baht & someone bring the original to them if you weren't carrying. some girls said the night before they were at nana plaza, but won't be back except to check if the dancers are wearing tops. hopefully this "sweep" is just to meet thaksin's thailand drug free deadline, but who knows.

I happened to walk pass there last night and saw the police with cups. I had no idea what was going on, but then no one stopped me to pee in a cup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no idea what was going on, but then no one stopped me to pee in a cup Peeing in a cup would take a bit o' skill for a chick I'd reckon Natty....there'd be an art to achieve good balance to enable the task to be successfully carried out I'd have thought. Had one been partaking of the substances they are investigating the use of, it'd be that much more challenging. Balance alone so so very difficult Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbk Posted November 22, 2003 Share Posted November 22, 2003 actually, most girls get the knack of it at the dr.s office! you learn real quick how to aim! are they making everybody unzip and pee in a cup in the street ?? that'd be a great photo for the front page of the bangkok post.

tomy Posted November 22, 2003 Share Posted November 22, 2003 if you were drunk ask the cop to hold the cup for you cause you're too drunk to hold the cup, if they wanna test you for drug they gotta hold the cup for you, and you will try to use both hand to balance and aiming the chilly are they making everybody unzip and pee in a cup in the street the lady have squat against the wall, while the cop make a row of human shield to cover the lady, but some will peek not all cop are perfect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marquess Posted November 22, 2003 Share Posted November 22, 2003 Won't be going back there again in a hurry. I thought that the duty of the police was to prevent crime, rather than hassle innocent citizens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stumonster Posted November 23, 2003 Share Posted November 23, 2003 so does any body know what they are testing for? opiates, amphetimines, thc ??? and any confirmation on the passport issue?? is It wise to be carrying it if you visit the bars in the sukhimvit area?

tomy Posted November 23, 2003 Share Posted November 23, 2003 so what kin of drug are you taking stumonste, maybe different from the one the cop are testing. no matter what just happen i will never carry my original PP with me, always carry a photo copy of the PP.

marquess Posted November 23, 2003 Share Posted November 23, 2003 no matter what just happen i will never carry my original PP with me, always carry a photo copy of the PP. Quite right! The hassle one would have to go through because of a stolen or lost passport, far outweigh the possibility of being stopped and having to produce it later. A mate of mine has one of the new British driving licences, with the photo on them, which looks abit like an I.D card. When he was asked for ID the other day he produced it, and had no problems. After all it is a legal document. I wonder if one could renew one's licence here via the UK embassy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You always can get a certified copy of your pp. I carried mine along during the APEC-week. Or you show, if needed, a Thai-driving licence. Usually, it helps although it does not have your visa-details. Doubt very much the British emobassy will renew your UK-licence. Would be interesting to hear if anybody ever tried.

Embassies are not empowered to do things like that. Conflicting Departments. Go home and see the family . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Never Never land Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 ohhh they love to bust you for any thing. First they demand you to carry the passport and if you do they will check it so close you think they fall in love with it. I never had to pee in a cup in Thailand and i do not think its right to blind test every singel one of the people. I say lets go to parlament and see how many of them have a VIP passport to a massage palace! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could also get the local police to do it as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
