Police stopping motorcyclists outside bar

Post by nil »

Drove down Soi 65 (where the Centara main entrance is) earlier today and one policeman sitting at front of a bar and another standing just outside waving his hand. Wasn't sure if he meant me and I just rode by. Had to pass back down that road 10 minutes later and the police had stopped a couple of Farang motorcyclists and were checking their documents. :?

I assume they had a senior officer with them and the correct signage was displayed!!!!!

Favorite location for many years,sitting in bar getting free drink,play pool,and then decide some additional Tea-Money required.For HHTel,no signage or senior officer ever present,and this has been occurring regularly even after the supposed new laws,and regulations came into play.

A couple of times I've been stopped over the last few months by a couple of moonlighting cops. Each time I pretended to make a call and was asked who I was calling. "Police Station" I replied after which I was told to be on my way ("Ba!") and they got on their bikes and vanished.
