Wow! What a ripoff! My friend Norm who was in Patong last week, said they were stopping people on the road coming into town at 3:00 PM to check for licenses and passports, and no other reason for stopping people. They has to go to the cop shop and pay a 500 Baht fine! It is the old quota system with benefits.
