Yawnable.

It's the Drunk Driving Lane.

Makes me glad I live in Bangkok. However the internet here isn't much more reliable (at least at my guesthouse), and 3g/4g cell plans are very expensive for what you actually get.

Probably due to the bombing in BKK. **Everything** has tightened up since then. My aged friends who've been coming for years here are getting asked if they have an onward ticket (some don't get visas before they come).
