PHUKET: The Tachatchai checkpoint at the entrance and exit to Phuket has a new officer on duty with eyes open all the time. The officer accompanies a sign sponsored by Pegas that advises motorists: ''Roll down the windows, turn off your headlights and turn on the inside light.'' It's Phuket's own Checkpoint Charlie.
