No

Why pay if they don't give you a receipt? Most traffic fines are about 500 Baht. Just about the figure you will pay the copper in tea money. Pay the extra and get a receipt.

The answer is yes unless otherwise indicated with a sign. Just found the law.

As ferangs it's in our nature to complain. By moaning and complaining we work off a little steam and we feel better for it. As they say 'get it off your chest'.

And that is correct. But if no ticket is issued then you do not pay. Get the ticket first. Pure and simple. Stop writing tosh. No wrong again. All tickets issued come with the value and you can't be treated any differently than to a Thai person.

I think you'll find yourself to be wrong. Hence why Thailand is increasing traffic fines by up to 4 fold.

Old thread. Must have the shoes by now?

And Thais need to be notified that the breakdown lane/hard shoulder is not a motorcycle lane. Many Thais think that's its purpose.

All depends on size of property and how many inhabitants.

Senior police officer, where I live, decided to park his pickup in a shop after a night of drinking.

Road signs will make no difference whatsoever. The school near me has a signed limit of 30km. I'll lay odds that the limit is not adhered to 100%. No parking in the hard shoulder. Will that be obeyed? The list is endless. What they need in my opinion is tougher fines and the enforcement of collecting those fines. I think the majority of fines are not paid.

How do you get a good cleaner in Thailand? Our cleaner is <deleted> but my wife won't fire her even though she says the same. Our cleaner lives in a shack with her hubby and children and has no personal pride which is obvious from the state of her residence.

Unfortunately out in the rural areas the laws are not going to be obeyed by the police or the locals. The police are integrated within the families through marriage etc that they're not going to rock the boat and upset them. Family come first in Thailand.

They have what was known in my day as 'short, back and sides'. In my military days there was a saying by an NCO 'what's under your hat is yours. The rest is mine.'

They take bribes?????

Always has been as far as I'm concerned.

Try TPB. Series 1 complete.

We were ward a week ago of bad weather for the next 5 days. How come I missed it?

Worse problem after my house build was my windows. I had wooden ones fitted but they leaked like sieves from day one. Probably worse than sieves. When the glass was fitted they never sealed the bloody things. Within a year of my build I had to remove them and replace with uPVC. With regards to the roof I was told by another farang to put in a rubberized membrane under the tiles. That was good advice but the builders found it difficult to install because they couldn't attach it to the metal laths. I had to bodge repair any leaks as and when myself. All dry now.

So what do the laws say about a women on motorcycles with a sidecar. And in that side car she has a relatively newborn baby in a hammock. I saw this today and was gob smacked.

Tip of the iceberg. Excuse the pun.

Buriram has blue and white crossings.

I've seen a one arm man get into a car and drive off and I've had a car accident with a one legged man with a prosthetic leg riding a motorcycle. What next? Just remembered about this incident. Chief of police for Non Suwan crashing his car into a shop at about 4 am. And he done a runner so I'm told.

My apologies. I thought we were discussing Thais and government hospitals.

Wow. You got it wrong and what about the other statements you put your name to.? You know nothing as you've shown yourself to be.
