Every town and province is different. Just curious how is it here in Hua Hin?

I see a good number of Thais riding without helmets as usual in Thailand. And a couple of Farang here and there without a helmet. 

 

Do the police actively have checkpoints to check helmets and license etc as I've seen elsewhere?

Yes they do, randomly as usual.. They like the evening hours on the Klong road north of the city as one of the almost daily spots.. mornings I see them on Petchkasem rd in town…

Question is, why try to dodge your responsibility.

Pretty clear it's no longer accepted riding without a helmet.

As a side note, what applies to Thai in certain situations very rarely if ever, same for farang(or haven't you noticed).

It amazes me (Udon Thani) knowing there are multiple stops scattered throughout the city. Usually with spotters … but you see Farangs and locals not wearing helmets.. .. .. find a comfortable helmet 

whatever style…. … wear it for safety and to save money….

Whether they check or not to ride a bike anywhere in the world without a good quality, well-fitted helmet is just plain crazy. Have any of you ever heard the sound of a head hitting and cracking on the roadway?

Not like in other cities.  A few check points are set up on the larger roads now and again.  But rarely on the smaller soil.

I went to buy a helmet in Udon Thani. Out of about fifty helmets the only one was big enough was a pink one. I bought it so I don't know what the next farang is going to buy.

Take care of your health and wear a helmet. If you need police checks to remind you of the easiest safety measures there is something seriously wrong, maybe about the body part which should be protected.

When I first came to Thailand many years ago I was riding without a helmet. One day while riding my motorcycle I rode into a swarm of bees and had many stings in the face and neck. So now I always wear a full face helmet, lesson learned.
