Current speeding fines and punishment in Thailand.

[notrub]

I was driving too fast on an empty road in the early hours of the morning, sun was up.  There was a windy bit down south heading north from Phuket and I just took a straight line across the bends, no other cars is sight, and bingo there was one of those radar units overhead.  I am pretty sure I got zapped going much much faster than the 50 km limit through those bends.  

 

I know I was wrong.  I see on a schedule of 2023/24 fines that speeding gets a fine of up to 4,000 baht.  Is that it?  Can there be of something more severe?

 

Thanks in advance for any comments 🙏🏼

I'll be very surprised if the camera was even working, my bet is that it wasn't...

The law states no 50 km limit, usually it´s 80 km limit even through city cores.

 

I got fined 2 times and only 500 baht each time.

500 baht on camera a couple of times...

I have gotten zapped twice going around 10km/h over the speed limit. Never got a fine. Might be the same case with you

got fine at automatic camera, fine always 500b regardless of speed when the limit is exceeded

I got 6 tickets heading to Mukdahan ( 3 each way ), they all went straight in the bin with any other tickets i get.
