The move, by police, army, Thesakij city law enforcers and related officials, came after a tip-off that orange vests, that signify a motorcycle taxi driver&#39;s registration at a particular taxi stand, were being sold for Bt100,000.&nbsp;

City police chief Pol Lt-General Sutthipong Wongpin was due to inspect the stand himself at 10am.
