Trip to BKK
I'm flying to BKK in Aug. I have heard horror stories about people who had drugs slipped into their carry-ons.
1.) Does this happen frequently?
2.) Would I be better off checking my garment bag and just bringing my camera on board?
3.) If this were to happen to me, what should I do, will Thai authorities recognize the problem they have or will they just shoot me

Well, I don't think the problem is very serious and this can happen to you around the globe. I think the best advice is: Zip up your bags, and watch them closely while shopping. BKK is a fairly busy airport, and you can expect quite an amount of people overthere.
