» The next time the police and government begin a campaign to crack down on drink driving, the country has the right to remain sceptical. This is because authorities have clearly showed they have no intention of enforcing this law.

» What should have been a routine procedure has become another damning indictment of the country’s notorious police force. When Bangkok’s police chief drove through not one but two drink-driving checkpoints manned by volunteers, the outcome was anything but by the book.
