CP's

On a Tuesday in February (around noon) I was stopped at the seemingly permanent checkpoint (CP) in Karon - at the bottom of the hill coming from Patong - despite having donned a helmet a hill before, when a heads up farang gave me 'the sign'.

Whats worse, the officer asked for my license and before I could reach my pocket had begun writing a ticket for driving w/out one. Then ignored my license, handed me the ticket, and crossed the road. It all ended fine, but I had to literally get in the MF'ers face about it.

Next day (yes, Wed.) the same time I passed a mobile check point (uhh...MCP), further on towards the end of that long straight as you reach Kata, where two cops had already snagged a handful of Thais and non-Thais.

Any other major CP's in the area?

Easy,
dr
