Reports emerging of police drug testing scam in Bangkok

[sambum]

I hardly ever go to he Soi 22 area,, But I AM in the Soi 4,, to Soi 21 areas nightly,, playing pool,,, I was in Soi 22 just last night to play in a pool league,,, I got there about 8pm,, and left about 12am,,,, they weren't around at 8,,, but there were about 8 or so of them about 2 blocks into Soi 22 about 12 when I left,,, They had about 3-4, "Farlangs" stopped,, going through their bags, packs, etc,,, which usually you don't see too often,, but it HAS increased!,,, Also usually, you don't see too many traffic stop in the Asok, to Ekemhai areas,, but those too have REALLY increased,,, They look to be very well organized,, And, "seem" to be making stop primarily for drunk driving,, Of course,, they're most likely searching for drugs also,,,, I do NOT have a problem catching over the limit drivers,,, but I DO have a huge problem with HOW they, "catch" them,,,, I CAN tell you from personal experience, what happened to myself, and my girlfriend in the Thong Lor area about a month ago,, I drive us to the area in the evening, for her work, and my pool playing,, I usually NEVER drive us home, because even after only say, 3-4 beers towards the end of the evening,, you're probably going to blow over the limit,,, This night,, I wasn't quite feeling well,, and beers just weren't, "tasting good, or going down well".... So over the course of the evening,, between about 6pm,, to about 1am,,, I had a total of about 2 beers, with the last 1, before about 9pm,,, So,,, 2 beers, over 3 hours, with the last one, 4, FOUR HOURS prior to leaving the area,,,, So, I actually decided to drive us home,,, We were waived over/stopped near Thong Lor area. by a cop standing in the far left lane, (which we were legally riding in, helmets and all,,, He asked me to blow,,, (whilst trying to grab the keys,, My girl quickly grabbed them out of the ignition,,, KNOWING there was NO way, I was going to blow over the limit,, I said sure,,, He punched a few buttons,, handed small, hand-held box to me,, with a USED mouth tube,,, while he was semi-not paying attention,, I never placed the tube IN my mouth,, but blew into it, while the tube was about 10mm from my lips,,,, i blew,, he turned back to me,,, grabbed it,, pushed some more buttons,, and said,, "You drunk",,, I of course said, "NO way",, as did my girl,, He REFUSED to show me the reading,,, He said, "$2000, and go",,,, He then walked BACK out into the left lane, to corral some others,,, whilst doing this,, my girl said, "get on",, and we promptly rode off,, took a side Soi,, knowing he was probably going to radio ahead,,,,, There is NO,, NO possible way,, that ANY POS, OLD, hand-held device, is going to read that you're, "over" doing what I did,,, NO WAY,,, besides the fact,, There's NO way of knowing, (since they won't show you them setting it up),,, If they don't just fake pushing buttons, resetting it, from a possible higher reading,, left by the PREVIOUS USER!!!!..... So ya,,, they WANNA get you?,,,, YOU'RE GOT!....

." So over the course of the evening,, between about 6pm,, to about 1am,,, I had a total of about 2 beers, with the last 1, before about 9pm,,,"

You don't sound too sure to me!

READ Einstein,,, 2 beers, between 6-1,,, the last before 9,,, sooo,,, 2 beers in 7, SEVEN hours TOTAL time frame, (got there a 6, left at 1), last 1 before 9, (so 2, over 3 hours, 6-9) Second beer.. (beer number 2), within that 1st 3 hour window, So 4 hours before leaving (1AM),,,,,,,, Need a calculator?.. And YA,,, pretty damn sure,,, Gotta feel sorry for those that can't do basic math, or just sooo lonely, they look for ANY reason to post something, ANYthing,,,,,

Oh dear - we are touchy! Wrong time of the month? I was being a tad sarcastic, but your over abundant use of the word "about" (6 times in 3 lines (no's 2,3 and 4 if you want me to be specific) makes me think that you're not too sure "about" a lot of things in your post!.For example, in your original post you state :-

" I had a total of about 2 beers, with the last 1, before about 9pm,,,". Then, in your reply, you state ",,, 2 beers, between 6-1,,, the last before 9,,,," Why don't you just say "I had a total of 2 beers between 6 pm and 9pm and left at 1 am" ? Simples! And what's the reason for all the commas? And no, I'm not lonely, (I have had the same Thai girlfriend for 8 years and get out and about the same as yourself) I just like to see the English language used properly (even if you are American (?), Canadian or Australian!) without the need for over-complicating the issue. OK YA?

saw this on Wiki !!!

**************************************

False positives have been known to be triggered by consuming hemp-seed bars and other products, although the more detailed, more expensive gas chromatography-mass spectrometer (GCMS) test can tell the difference.

Common known pharmaceutical drugs which cause false positives in instant THC dip tests include: Dronabinol, Efavirenz, Ibuprofen, Ketoprofen, Naproxen, Piroxicam, Promethazine, Proton pump inhibitors, Sulindac, Tolmetin

**************************************

my Thai chick confirms no expensive tests in Thai hospital only this pee in a test tube of chemicals test and no my Thai chick does not know everything as I asked her how to say Proton pump inhibitor in Thai for me to keep up my sleeve and she is still dumb even after looking on her phone dic maybe I need a new chick who knows her shit round town to look after her man good or maybe u guys explain how to tell Thai police that you suffer with pump inhibitions and then all is forgiven and my heart free of frustration

Send it around the world. Till it goes viral! Then maybe T.A.T. will wake up.

At the top of this page is a place you can click on stars to rate the topic. The more stars the topic gets, the higher up this topic is in Google search results. A small thing, but along the lines of what you are talking about. alt=thumbsup.gif>

Thank you for that Craig. I didn't realise that rating a topic had that much effect. I work in Bangkok and a number of my colleagues are very concerned about this - another disgraceful abuse of power.

Millwall fan your post disturbs me greatly as I have to recruit 8 Western staff over the next year.

The main focus on this thread has thus far been on possible effects on tourists and tourism, you are the first to mention the possible deterrent this abysmal abuse may have on the recruiting/attracting/retaining skilled workers in the Kingdom.

In the past, recruiting skilled staff from overseas to come to BKK (as we offer decent packages) was like shooting fish in a barrel, but given all the negative international attention of the past decade or so Thailand has received, coupled with issues like this is going to make it tricky.

Unfortunately we have a policy of not recruiting 'in country' as it has been generally acknowledged that people with too many prior conceptions about the destination country can at times be detrimental.

My friend planned to have his birthdayparty in a 5* Japanese hotel in this area. (Can we mention hotelnames here?). But when the Westerners heard which hotel it was they all asked him to book another hotel. Which he did. Far away from Thong Lor.

Seems like an over-reaction, but hopefully they still managed to have a good party.

I said, "about" because I didn't actually keep an accurate log of my night,, Maybe I could have used, "approximately", instead of, "about" and that would've passed your scrutiny,,,, OK?,, So I was thinking back, and trying to be as accurate as could be,,, As far as how I use ,,,,.. or how I speak/use English,,, that would be entirely up to me don't you think? So get over yourself, and try to find another, "hobby" other than attempting to correct, people who are, "wrong on the internet",, I'm sure you'll find you might be a happier person, but knowing other's that have the same, "hobby" as you, I doubt that,, As the others I know with your, "problem" are quite unhappy, lonely people,,, devoid of any REAL life, or social skills,, OK YA?

Good morning, how's your hangover?

Don't drink coffee, eat fish & drink water, so fish can swim.

Get massage. There are massage schools in downtown Bangkok (Rattanakosin Island)

Forget about last night, today's another day

[impulse]

HOWEVER, the problem with these BMA "litter cops" is they appear to be solely and exclusively focused on going after non-Thais for littering offenses.

Look at it this way- If my dog poops in my front yard- no problem.

If my brother's dog poops in my front yard, it's still great to see him.

If my best friend's dog poops in my front yard- all is forgiven.

If a stranger brings his dog to poop in my front yard, there will be an issue.

It ain't about the poop. Just like it isn't about the cigarette butts.

[Firefan]

Could somebody PM me the face book link for the page where this is discussed, if not allowed to be posted here?

Or tell me what words to search for on facebook (failed so far with that

Cheers!

I think we've made our points! You contradict your elaborate statements and try to defend them in an aggressive manner, and I was merely pointing out that your use of the English language and grammar left a bit to be desired. How you use/speak English is of course up to you, but it gives a good indication as to what type of person you are and I have made my assumptions based on the way that you have answered my post, Mr Angry Capitals! So Adios, Adeeos - I'll leave you to decide whether you consumed a total of 2 beers, or about 2 beers on the night in question!) OK YA? (And you started with the 'ya" thing " So ya,,, they WANNA get you?,,,, YOU'RE GOT!...." )

I agree with the decision to move the gathering elsewhere

If more people do it, it will affect local businesses and then they might speak up

If you do not like the possibility of random checks then speak with your feet and go elsewhere

[CarlTyson]

Littering scam.

Foreigners smoking a cigarette are stalked by the BMA "Fake Police" then fined 2,000Bt for dropping a but on the filthy sidewalk.

Every foreign smoker is followed. Every one.

Thais can drop garbage all over the place, no problem.

[timewilltell]

I am sorry to say that the fairness and professionalism of the police in this country is at such a low level that planting evidence, recording murders as suicide, torturing people, fitting people up for crimes they did not commit and general extortion is the norm rather than the exception.

This targeting needs to be exposed so tourists who have the bad luck to chose a visit to Thong Lor or really any tourist destination here, can at least be prepared at how to deal with the scam. That it is the a Royal Thai Police doing it is really not at all surprising to those that live here. Shame on them

Well there just goes a few cancellations for people from Washington, Colorado and all the medicinal cannabis holders around.

Probably wise. They should also avoid any Middle Eastern destinations.

[soalbundy]

I take it by troll you mean someone who disagrees with you. Go ahead. Piss in people's streets and be smug about only taking prescription drugs. But it was your bladder that was full of a legal drug that led to your lack of control. And you seem to think pissing in people's communities is somehow acceptable. Please think again.

No, not the disagreement side - that is fine. It was the rewording of what I was saying... which I assume was on purpose. Prescription drugs can be legal or illegal, prescribed drugs are exactly that prescribed for a condition.

I did not say pissing in peoples communities is acceptable, that is your spin on it. Given two alternatives at that point, I chose peeing down the storm drain -- and if I were in the same situation I would do it again If the police gave me a cup, a ticket, or a summons I would have thanked them and taken it.

Now that we have agreed that it was disgusting, maybe we can return to the topic at hand.

I think he was peed on as a child,they mistook him for a urinal,he's been upset ever since.

A nasty, offensive post that offers nothing compared to OP's report regarding his experience of stop and search. It's gratuitously rude, off topic and immature. The problem with such shallow, attention seeking posts is they might put off the adults from contributing to the thread. As regards to your inappropriate comments about the English language: This is a public forum and not an IELTS test run by the British Council. So let me reiterate: the OP's post was of interest, was of value, and was informative. Your response and further answer was just crass and actually kind of creepy in a weedy, quelerous way. An attention seeking middle child I supect

Thank you for saying what sadly needs to be said on TVF on nearly a daily basis... I seldom post as regularly as I'd like to.. for this very reason... I suspect. That many others that aren't as.. "thick skinned" as myself... tend to not post at all... again.. thank you...

It's not a case of winning! It's not a competition, but you are trying to make it into one, so just to let you know that I have never been "busted up" in my life,(bet you can't say the same?) This will be my last comment on this matter, so if you care to make a reply (even with all your commas/full stops!) you can tell yourself that you won, and to be honest, I don't "give a hoot" my red necked Republican friend, because your temper has "gotten" the better of you, your comments are becoming nonsensical, and I think you need to calm down (P.S.

As far as I can see, you can do the same thing in Thailand as you would do in your Farang country when being charged without any reason.

Am I correct?

More bickering removed. Calm down, or don't post in the topic any-more.

Greetings,

Good news, I'm at the Asoke intersection on a daily basis and I haven't seen the policemen for the past 2 weeks! We expats and tourists must unite and help each other to minimize harassment, so keep our eyes and ears focused on the policemen and report all the annoying activities to Thaivisa Forum!

Stop bickering and assist each other to eliminate further harassment from the police!

The subject is too important to close down but it is too important be a platform for damaged egos and attention seekers. People need to use self control and think about what they are writing and why.

Agreed. It makes for good reading but some of the hysteria surrounding this issue and the many unsubstantiated reports, detract from its seriousness.

That's good news. Thanks for keeping people informed rather than the infighting that's been going on. I've got a 3 day trip to Bangkok in Mid Jan and have been thinking of cancelling because of the harassment. I really would like to still go so the signs are good.

The absence of something does not indicate it's lack of existence. My pal saw loads of police action from so 3 to 19 last week. Stop and searches.
