Where can I pay a traffic ticket?

It tells you how to pay on the paperwork you receive ... if i recall correctly, Post Office/bank/police station...

If issued in Pattaya then you can pay it at the Police Station if outside you must go to the post office

Police station on Beach road.

Don't pay it.

 

Waste of money even if they have you on camera.

If I remember correctly ( GF's fine, not mine ) any Krung Thai bank branch will accept payment.

Totally agree, all of mine go straight in the bin.

You don't have to pay them when you renew the tax? that's what people say

No.

 

There is no link between land and transport department and highway dept.

 

What you mention is what they should do.

Exactly, the two departments do not have a computerised link, they may in a few years, but until then don't worry about it.

 

A friend of mine showed me over 20 of them she had accumulated, all unpaid.

I said 'why so many'?, she said I am a bad driver and laughed.

Being a scofflaw, I suppose you'll be on TV bleating about the BIB when you eventually do get nailed by them.

if you don't pay, will they take:   your car ? your licence ? your .... ?

Interesting, never heard that before - perfect description in this case.

Some great advice from those that forget you are a guest, visitor, not citizen, not resident. You can run but you cannot hide follow the rules in any country and you will enjoy a great experience....Only my opinion & who am I ????????‍♂️
 

Ps...Also some great advice with those with the brains the size of a pea ????

Correct. Easiest is to go to ktb and pay there. Just paid one couple of weeks ago in pattaya tai ktb

 

Even if might not be necessary to pay, fines are so small I'd rather pay and not need to worry about possible problems later... Maybe i stupid. Farang...

You're very naive.

 

what do you think will happen, they'll hunt all the non payers of these fines down - too funny.

Might be amusing one day if she is pulled over and arrested for having all of these outstanding tickets..... perhaps wipe the idiotic laugh off her face.

I got a red light offence fine a couple of months back (500 baht) went to Pattaya Police station to pay but could not (ticket was from Highway Poice at Hua Hin) went along to the post office soi 13 paid there +60 odd baht for processing fee....couple of weeks later a letter saying fine unpaid (ignore if recently paid) ignored it and again a couple of weeks later another letter with my receipt for fine payment which I now keep in the car......if I ignored it I have no idea what would/could have happened but what is 560 odd baht to fork up for an error on my part....peace of mind is worth far more than this

I lived in Puerto Rico for a couple of years, got 11 tickets and lined the bottom of my bird cage with them. Same thing, no links.

It's just that the actual owner of the vehicle will be unable to do it's annual registation/tax disc, if fines are ontstanding. Bht 500 a waste of money?
