Last night in Bangkok, I was stopped by the police, it was really thrilling. After having a drink, I took a taxi back to the hotel, and the police suddenly appeared and blocked me, searching my phone, cash, hotel key card, and e-cigarette. I thought I was going to be extorted, but the police showed me the law, saying that e-cigarettes could result in a maximum sentence of 5 years. I wanted to call a friend (I got through), but they wouldn’t let me. In the end, they just warned me not to bring e-cigarettes and asked me to cooperate with them. They even made me do a urine test, which was quite embarrassing. The result came out fine, just a warning. Maybe because I made the call, they realized I wasn't alone, plus there was a recording device. In any case, it was pretty thrilling, but it also reminded everyone not to bring e-cigarettes in Thailand.

From normally finishing drinking and having a midnight snack, taking a taxi back to the hotel, to suddenly being intercepted by a team of Bangkok police, the Grab driver raised his hand and looked back at me, and I was completely bewildered. Then the car door was pulled open, and my heart raced, my heartbeat stopped as several flashlights shone on my face.
The police took a defensive stance and asked me to get out of the car. Then they asked where I was from, after which they waved the driver to leave. One officer was always on guard, one was searching me, and another used a phone translator to tell me not to move and to cooperate with them.
They searched me thoroughly and found my phone, cash, hotel key card, and e-cigarette. At that moment, I was ready for them to divide the cash among themselves and let me go because they started counting the money. Unexpectedly, after counting, they gestured for me to put it back in my pocket.
