As someone that went through the DUI process in Thailand last year, hired lawyers, did the wais, paid up etc etc I can say that it is a bit strange he's still in jail. Cops ask for 30-40k in the station. If you don't have it on you immediately you're in the local jail cell for the night.

 

Not doubting this at all but surely nobody has 30 - 40K THB on their person, so how could it be paid immediately.. I was told it was 20K they would ask for as that was the max you could withdraw from an ATM daily?

Yeah, it sucks. I was out without an ATM card. Just some cash. So I spent the night in jail. Called my wife (a non-thai) the next day (they let you have your phone in the cell for an extra 1000, even bring you whatever food you want and let me use a charger :). She had to go to two banks, if I remember correctly, to pull out 100k since we're both foreigners. Woe to you if this happens on a bank holiday.

I would not label being safe while being incarcerated in a thai prison.

He blew 6 times over the legal limit.

 

He clearly is not very bright and deserves everything coming his way.

If you rounded up all the ex-pats who ride their scooters whilst over the limit you would fill every prison ten times over.  Most have a brown envelope at the ready just in case ????

What a load of B.S. not all of us are irresponsible like that. Just certain low class expats are. I guess you know who they are.

He clearly thinks everyone is like himself. Many foreigners are responsible unlike his barstool buddies.
