Anyone else come across this today ?phuket news: 'Random' drug testing continues in Patong...

Was taking the young'n to surin beach today, came to Kamala approx 12.30 pm.
The main road was compleatly blocked. Some sort of protest going on, Had to take back road to get to where we were going.
On the way back had to do the the same, Which was ok till we got about 4 km past kamala head'in for Patong. Another road block, this time no side roads to use Turned back and thankfully made it past 2 other road blocks to get home !
My me penn haa for us, But I did see tourist's with baggage standing at the side of the the road looking pretty concerned. { planes to catch etc }
