Perfectly Said!!
I was never arrested for drug-testing as well, but some were (or bribed their way out).
BTW I never tested positive for HIV, never died in a road accident, and never lost my passport. But some did.
Reports are emerging that the police in Bangkok have been harassing tourists on what is claimed to be a crackdown on illegal drug use.
Visitors and tourists have reported being regularly stopped, searched, interrogated and asked to provide urine samples that if found to test positive for drugs can lead to lengthy fines and prison sentences. Apparently these tests have a 10% margin of accuracy leading to fears that many drug tests have returned back positive when those tested have not taken any drugs.

Lately the junta has also taken aim at foreigners. Police harass foreign tourists on the streets.

This said and read, I have no intent to cancel my next trip. But forewarned is forearmed.
Wow and some people get hit by lightning every year. I guess maybe i won't carry a golf club in a thunderstorm. 2 more articles regurgitating the same BS.
Supposedly 1 couple was stopped twice and this has led to all these ridiculous articles because all these sources are too lazy to do any real reporting so they just copy the same reports.
And I am supposed to be thankful for this information ? Why? You said you are forearmed but you are still coming. I am glad you are still coming , now tell me what it is that you are going to do in order not to be stopped , arrested , jailed, fined etc.
Bottom line there is nothing you can do if it was true. Same kind of BS we had to read when police were raiding Bars in Sunee on a regular basis. Over and over there were reports of farangs being hauled away to jail and forced to piss test etc etc etc.
Then an actual member of one of these Boards who was present would tell the real story and amazing none of those things ever happened to farangs.
If you use, sell or carry drugs, I guess you should be worried. Gee I guess you should be worried about that no matter what country you are in!!
The postings have cooled off----was there a verdict one way or the other?
