A Night in the Thai Police Station
Although I don’t consider myself to be a tough, hardened man (for example, I avoided military service), the point of my post is not to complain or seek sympathy. Rather, it’s to warn others and, more importantly, to draw attention to the inhumanity of the supervisory structures we’ve created, such as the police and all kind of secret services, and the dangers associated with them. We are human beings, not sheep, who have no option but to silently endure humiliation. -

Report Swiss Man Faces Arrest in Phuket Over Alleged Assault on Thai Doctor
You think? So the accusation that he kicked a pregnant woman in the stomach because she was sitting on a stairway would happen to every foreigner in Thailand? -

A Night in the Thai Police Station
I am not in disagreement, that he was not much over the limit; and that the likely reason he was put in a cell was some kind of fee to be negotiated (which his wife seemingly boggled up badly). However, he indeed did the crime, and that right after Songkran, where everybody knows the police are on the lookout for DUIs. His treatment was not harsh, he had 15 friends "enduring" the same... And I see the issue more from the viewpoint, that it is unlikely he will be a repeat offender (with wife, he likely will be a long-term resident, so carelessness with alcohol could endanger poeple later). I think he got off lightly, learned a lesson and has a nice story to tell. All that for not sleeping well for a night is a steal. -

New dual citizen & digital arrival card
Why not use the Thai passport and name for buying the ticket and enter Thailand as a Thai citizen, using the automatic gates? No TDAC and boarding pass necessary for Thai immigration. -

There is no provisional licence in Thailand. Avoiding semantics - there is... the 2 Year Temporary License (before we get the 5 year license). -

I would say: there was no reason for him to drink and then drive -- especially if he had his wife with him. If she also drank, a Bolt taxi is so cheap to basically cost nothing to a westerner. Don't do the crime, if you cannot do the time. While I agree with your sentiment - the Ops BAC measurement was apparently equivalent to 0.027% BAC - which places him a grey area of being over the limit for someone without a license (or a temp license), but well under the limit of someone on a full licence. As a comparison - the DUI limit in the UK is 35 micrograms of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath (0.08% BAC equivalent) - the Op was still under the UK DUI limit.
