i never been to thailand but had similar experiences in
indonesia and even more in ukraine.
having an foreign numberplate on your car is reason
enough to stop you and fill their pockets.
mostly the amounts of cash wanted isn't worth the argue
for us, but if it happens every day you learn the language
fast and at least is able to say in their language something
like " are you willing to say that in front of the ambassador, his number
is top in my phone "
in the end those kind of things dont borther me to much anymore,
i try keep a low profile wherever i go.i find it worse that in those country's if you have money one could get away with anything even murder.
life has only litle value there
sorry guys getting oftopic
back to beautifull thailand
