I recall being a bit nervous when I first visited Thailand in 1992, there had been some stories in the UK News of British "tourists" being jailed for a million years after being caught smuggling stuff in or out, proclaiming their innocence, and that the drugs had been planted etc etc. A few months later they change their stories admit their guilt and in the two cases I recall it was clear that the authorities were acting on intel which had flagged these people before they had stepped foot onto the airport premises.
