Heavy fine followed by instant deportation... word will get around eventually

Add goose s##t to the problem

Idiots behaving like they do at home in a foreign country

Eventually

End of the road ?

The relationship between agents and willing IO officers will find a way

Very few, as for the rental owners: Fined in the morning, open up shop again in the afternoon. Fines do nothing. Close the shop, confiscate the bikes...

Really ????

True, let the rentals hire-out their vehicles, then fine the unsuspecting tourists.. good scam

If they lose those export markets to competitors they're solely reliant on the working girls... much like the past years

It should be... no licence no rental vehicle

One that should have hi re-tested.

The sad part is.. I believe they do

But not from driving his truck... Yeeee gods.

Yes... crack-on Sir... go swim. I'm off duty, best of luck

Such a shame Thailand doesn't have something of it's own to fill the gap.

Palms will be greased...

That's a big wish

So a dying patient is now a low priority because someone cannot stop for an emergency vehicle ?

And how many rentals were prosecuted for renting to unlicensed riders/drivers ? Just another racket.

Just another naive greenhorn

I'm happy for you that it worked out.... I've been here since 2008... similar story. Many turned out to be not so lucky

If that's not a a jolly I don't know what is

A bit like Thailand... let anyone in.

It would be great if it increased international arrival flights, taking the strain off domestic connections from Bangkok up north... but then that would mean a loss of domestic travel/revenue.
