snoop1130 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 A 19 year old woman in Ubon Ratchathani faced a hefty fine of 6,300 baht (US$177) for driving without a license. Lacking the funds to pay the fine, she humorously asked the police if she could borrow money. The officer’s playful response was an offer to lend her the money if she agreed to feed his catfish every night, a condition she found less than appealing. Instead, she chose to pay half the fine and perform community service to cover the remainder. The incident, which occurred in December last year, was brought to light through a Facebook post. The young woman explained that she visited the court as instructed by the police, only to find herself unable to pay the fine on a Saturday morning due to waiting for a money transfer from her sibling. When she inquired if she could settle the fine in the afternoon, the police told her it wasn’t possible due to the court’s hours. They warned her that she would have to spend the night in jail at 500 baht (US$14) per night if she couldn’t pay immediately, reported Sanook.

A rather picky girl... a Karen in the making. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
