Hi everyone,

I've been to Bangkok a number of times over the past few years, almost always on my own. However, this year, more specifically May and June, I have been stopped a few times by the police, gruffly wading their way through my possessions and pockets. Each of the few occurrences has been on different sections of Sukhumvit and at different times of day; I reckon it may partially have to do with drug smugglers, and possibly with my Carlos the Jackal-esque shades. Has anyone else experienced the staccato murmurs of the Bangkok police?
