Not seen many examples of regs being enforced vigorously here.... if anything in the last few years policing has diminished, particularly on the roads.

Admittedly it's a mixed bag to say the least.  They're pretty good (bad?) about bar closing times outside the entertainment zones, because those are easy, stationary targets, and neighbors complain, while the smoking in bars regs are ignored because cops actually have to go inside and collect evidence, and nobody really cares about it.  The changes in cannabis regs may be an interesting case study.

However, the extent that I agree with you is indicated by my statement that the random, opportunistic enforcement is the most likely result.  This is most in keeping with how other similar regulations are enforced.  I do think that enforcement around the airports will be more strict than elsewhere, given that airport transport seems to have been a particular flash point for taxi mafia protests and disputes.

I do recall over a decade ago we had a period when it was possible to get waved over by police on the airport approach road, my driver had already prepped me to say he was my brother in  law! Doesn't Phuket airport already have a Bolt dedicated area?
