HappyExpat57 Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Just today someone posted on FB how they got pulled over at a BiB motorbike stop and got a ticket for not carrying a copy of the green book. Is this the actual law or just a shakedown? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agusts Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Yes needed, my friend forgot his bike document pack once and when stopped he had nothing, they fined him for every piece separately, licence, tax, copy of green book, insurance ... , he emptied his pocket and they took all the cash he had on him and then let him go - they said they gave him a discount...! ? Not sure exactly but he had like a 1000 baht I think... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always keep copy of insurance and green book in bike. Carry licence always too along with copy of passport, visa and entry stamp. Recent I bought and hid a Galaxy Smart Tag on the bike as a theft security measure. Extremely accurate location tracking as there are so many Samsung phone users here to locate/ping it. Battery life at least 6 months. An Apple Air Tag would likely work too. Edited March 5, 2022 by soi3eddie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
