rainyday

Sorry, but tired of replying to posters who even don't bother to read the posts and apparently have no principles. More, don't respect people who do have. Again, and for the last time @ yellowtail, @ lucky bones among many others. I have NEVER received any ticket, any letter, any photo, any visit........ Nothing, NADA! How do I suppose to check? They told my wife @ the tax station there was a ticket still outstanding, dated 3 months back somewhere in Chiang Rai. Not even the road, not the time, just the moobaan and date was told. If they give me the slightest proof (or just more info that I could check that I was there and it was indeed my car) I have made a mistake, I am happy to pay the fine. And I am not driving back to Chiangrai just for that. For me and as for now, I DID NOT BREAK ANY LAW!!!!!! Despite that, I had to pay the fine to get my tax-sticker. No yellowtail, lucky bones among many others, this is NOT CORRECT in my opninion.

Apparently 80% of the posters here just pay for non proven fines like a zombie. Or even bribe the police! Because we're talking just a few bucks.... Well I don't, and yes, it's a principle.

OK guy's. Some of you do not understand my language at all. So again, and for the last time; I NEVER GOT ANY TICKET. I NEVER GOT ANY PICTURE. I NEVER GOT ANY LETTER. I NEVER GOT ANYTHING...... How can I suppose to know "what" "where" "when"..... I drive 40.000 km a year by car and about 10.000 km a year by motorbike. They just told us "you were speeding" 3 (or more) months ago, around that area and about that speed. Sorry, we do not have a picture, we cannot give you any proof. But you have to pay to get your tax-sticker. HOW CAN I CHECK AND DEFEND MYSELF???????????

@ novacova Pls read my post! We've got no picture, no nothing....... Yes, the car is registered @ my official home address and NEVER got anything. To all posters telling me to "simply, not speeding". I am a fast driver but respect the rules and I try to not speeding which is not that simple. F.e. coming from BKK on the 3 different speed lanes. One more time: NEVER got anything, NADA. So, how can one check???? I don't know where exactly (just the moobaan)- I don't know which speed (only that I apparently was speeding). I will not return to Chiangrai just for this. The fine was 500 Baht. I will put it in my desk in the big file labeled 'TIT". Yes, it became a very fat one after 20+ years and driving 25.000 + miles a year.

My wife went to pay the yearly car taxes today. Surprise surprise, she had to pay for a fine-ticket we did not know about, or she would not get the tax sticker. Apparently I have been speeding in Chiangrai about 3 months ago. No further information could be given! Pic of my car with license plate: NO, exact speed: NO, exact location: NO.... How can one check if it's correct? 3 months later and, in theory, could have been almost a year. The tax-lady told my wife to go to Chiangrai to check with the police........ Is this something new to fill the coffers?

We were on that flight. Well in the air, I noticed the flight information system pointed to Delhi as final destination, Previously it was Bangkok. I spoke to a flight attendant about it, who was immediately joined by a superior. They asked me to keep quiet about it and to not inform other passengers. However, they explained the situation on the upper deck. We were seating on the lower deck. Within seconds the flight information system got switched of. Passengers were not informed officially about what was developing. Just the regular pre landing routine with worrying faces. Only after landing and while refueling (with all passengers on board!) the captain explained the situation and apologized for the stop and delay. Tree hours late over schedule we arrived at BKK. This situation caused a major negative chain reaction for a lot of passengers. Due to this disruption, we missed our connection in Bangkok, leaving us unable to reach our pre-booked hotel. Faced with significant problems, we had to secure alternative accommodations. Despite these hardships, Lufthansa offered no compensation. To compound matters, one of our bags was irreparably damaged. Although we received a ticket number and Dolfi1920 contact details, the replacement bags offered by Dolfi1920 did not match our damaged suitcase. Consequently, we opted to purchase a superior replacement, incurring additional costs. Apparently, we felt for the Lufthansa/Dolfi1920 scam and are still waiting for our paid new bags. 2 months later and being 1.000 km away from our initial starting point and where the bags are supposed to be delivered!

Mmmm... Without deep & real checks? Let me guess. Pujaban closes his eyes for half of it; 60 Baht/tonne. Other half (60 Baht) for the farmer. 8 billion gone and still burning. Nothing changed. Thank you.
