Chinese man arrested in Chon Buri for using fake registration plate on Bentley

[snoop1130]

 

Highway Police officers arrested a Chinese man on a highway in Chon Buri province for using a fake registration plate on his luxury Bentley sedan.

 

Highway police officers in Chon Buri province made a surprising discovery on a routine patrol resulting in the arrest of a 34 year old Chinese man, Chaing Meng, for using a fake registration plate on his luxury Bentley sedan. The incident took place on Highway number 344 near the Khaosok district when officers noticed the suspicious vehicle being driven erratically.

 

Following the Bentley, the officers promptly pulled over Chaing and requested the necessary car documents. However, the Chinese driver was unable to produce any, raising further suspicion. A closer inspection revealed that the car lacked an annual tax sticker and was registered under different numbers, indicating the use of a counterfeit plate.

 

The registration plate’s irregularities, including the absence of a watermark and officially issued 10-digit numbers, confirmed its fraudulent nature. Meng claimed ignorance, stating that he had purchased the Bentley from a car showroom on Vipawadee Road in Bangkok.

im 100% sure cops were know about this man and the car before. i dont believe they will stop him randomly.

 

the only thing could happen is maybe he was drunk and driving really bad and they had to stop him

[Ralf001]

Red plate cars do not have annual road tax stickers I thought.

[FaltuMora]

Must be a stolen car. Lots of stolen cars in Bangkok with fake plates.

I thought those had been abolished.

 

I've noticed this year that no motos seem to have them, and my brand new bike certainly doesn't - but maybe that's just two-wheelers?

 

[sammieuk1]

Probably in a hurry to get to his casino and can't afford all the camera flashes at 200mph ????

Still required.

Many  bikes have them under the seat. (Avoids rain damage and theft.)

You are mistaken, you certainly still need the annual tax sticker. Whether they are displayed on a 2 wheeler is less certain... they do get stolen, so some keep them under the seat. 

[ezzra]

And if they will prob deeper I'll bet they will probably find that the car hasn't been imported using legal channels which will raise further questions.

Probably he failed to make a payment and was stopped for the car as a warning to continue paying the 'right people'

I am hoping the police have been making extensive enquiries regarding the man's acquisition of the Bentley to determine if it has been legitimately obtained.  And also determining the man's business here in Thailand.  What is he possibly hiding?  Fake plates could be used for many reasons.  Evading tolls I doubt for someone legitimately owning a Bentley.  Evading speeding fines from speed camera detection -.perhaps.

I thought Bentleys and other luxury cars were exempt from police action?

[Gsxrnz]

The real story here is that the Highway BIB's bothered to stop anybody at all.

Yes, this is probably the first time in recorded history that a Bentley has ever been pulled over in Thailand! "Do you know who I am???"

[Cake Monster]

This must be one of the well heeled Tourists the Country has been trying to attract

[ignore it]

Hmm.

Y'all think Mr. Chaing got a driving license?

Brand new bike would have Red plates, until registered to the owner, then you get the tax 'sticker' no sticker then no insurance. your thinking needs adjusting.

Only if they are owned by Thais with connections.

Most people reading this article were not triggered by false number plates but by the Bentley. The first question of the police officer should therefore be how he got the Bentley, this could lead to more surprises than finding out about the number plates.

[chalawaan]

34 year old Chinese national in a dodgy Bentley?

 

100% Princeling son of CCP Top Brass or a member of the "Black Societies".

 

One thing that China is on top of is it's Black Society (Triads are HK Macau and Taiwan based) the B.S. can nothing without severe blowback unless they have CCP blessing. Such as scamming foreigners.

Isn't that how they got their Bentleys?

Could be a fake Bentley

Naaah, son wouldn't be driving around with fake plates. 

His Bentley would have proper DLT original plates.

Some Chinese poser just had to have his Bentley in Thailand.  He just couldn't stomach the taxes so he tried fixing that. The guy is just 34. He's the type of person that makes it big in his 30's, spends it up, and will end up being average to poor by the time he hits 55. 

 

There is a documentary on Youtube about guys like this from Japan in the 90's. They were highrollers, but the high times didn't last
