Reports of pee testing are through the roof. People have been asked to provide samples in petrol station toilets and at the side of the road. Random pee testing stories were few and far between in the past but not now.
Threats of fines for those without their passport are now a common complaint too.
And the net has widened too as police officers appear to have teamed up with the tessakit (city officials famed for their 2,000 baht litter fines) further up Sukhumvit beyond Terminal 21 with stop / searches taking place around the mouth of soi 15.
