I can confirm the MiB obsession for catching drug traffikers over the festive season. ALL villages in Loei had police + army checkpoints up basically blocking the road with cones and flashing triangles and make you zig-zag slowly past them sitting in some temporary tent !
I was stopped at a police checkpoint on the 27th Dec in my hire car driving into Loei town where there was a huge cue of stopped vehicles, pickup trucks etc... never seen so many cops or shades of brown.
Well when I got to the front there was whoops of 'UUUUAGHHH FALANG FALANG....' and I was immediately given the most closest attention by about 7 cops surrounding my car and directing me to pull over next to the temporary hut. There was no escape......
They searched everywhere, inside the engine compartment , the petrol cap, boot, my pockets, bags etc etc eventually I was allowed on my way after about 15 mins. GF told me they look for ya ba and Laos immigrants !
I had neither....but it was a hire car from Udon Thani and like BG... you never know whos been there before....
