And yet its been said by the countries top cops that a urine test is not mandatory and can only be done at the station..

Some consistency would go a long way..

Do they offer blood tests too? Might save a trip to Dr Morgan's clinic

That is for roadside testing. Testing in clubs happens regularly although normally only Thai patrons.

11 pm ? For most people that would not yet be the time to take something.

For the ones that take drugs daily it will be a big problem because it stays in your blood for a long time.

yeah curious as to whether this was trying to catch just thai folks or targeting farang and tourists as well. there's a lot of non-thais in that soi who would make some really easy arrest stats for the po-po.

They've done this in the past at spicy and other thai clubs. Been a few years since the last time. Testing for ya ba. Not testing for ganja. They'll test everyone, including farang.

Would be more interesting to see what they find in clubs like Fabric and Infinity, or is the police to worried they might have to arrest their own children?

It isn't "news". Clubs are raided regularly.

It is "news" as the venue is not a normal target and tourists are not the normal victims., Pataya one carries the reports of all the raids there and the CM popo often release reports of their efforts.
