I have never seen that. Very rarely they look for drug in your pocket, motorbike.

But they never checked, for me, driving license, and breath test

In the past, the police have not had many breath-test checkpoints.

However, they are starting to appear on the island.

As far as I am aware "Proper" police are sent over from the mainland periodically to conduct tests on the island (Royal visits, High terrorist threat etc). Calibration & maintenance of equipment would certainly give cause for concern if their general performance is anything to go by.

Most appear to be broken http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/606619-bangkok-police-riding-around-with-broken-breathalyzers/
