Tourist police
Three Thai guys and a gal sat in the back of the bus, the rest of us were tourists. Before the border we stopped and 3 tourist police officers came into the bus, took pictures of the Thais, had a serious conversation among themselves, judging by the tone not completely without a threat or two, then the tourist police left the bus, took a picture of the bus and marched off .
They let them stay on board, but punished them by not giving them also a plastic box of warm rice with shrimps, which was our lunch and was surprisingly rather tasty.
We'll never know, I thought, but then we dropped them off on the other side of the border in the middle of nowhere. Which still doesn't explain anything, really, but it makes you feel strange as a tourist, as if we were travelling in a parallel universe.
