no it happens all the time. It has happened to me police stop taxis all the time and will check the passports and confirm with taxi driver where you were picked up and dropped off....Has happened to me since I moved here at12 I'm almost 40 now. This is very common on busses and trains too
You know like when you go on the highway from pattanakarn near there.....they are stationed there, because that's right where everyone merges to get to the airport and the police station is right there in sarinakarin.
you go and get 30 days on arrival. Here in Portugal they want your residency card to prove that you live here. I just applied. You will have to apply from the USA with a ticket leaving from there.
