Is it normal for immigration officers in Thailand to take photos with their personal phones during entry?

John **********

It's pretty common in Thailand for workers to take photos of things to show their boss that their working probably nothing to do with you. I've been stopped at checkpoints and had to pose beside the open boot of my car so they could take a photo to prove they were actually checking cars
