Kalasin Jo Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Hmm . Pesky foreigners again, tourists this time. It's becoming " a thing" isn't it? I doubt this would be newsworthy in any other country. The miscreants would simply be arrested, charged and fined without fuss. Just close the country to tourists, or even everyone foreign and the glorious Covid emptiness would return.

digger70 Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Foreigner condemned for driving car on Kamala Beach in Phuket. What's wrong with driving on the beach, they do that in most countries putting fishing boats and speedboats in the Ocean with 4 wheel drives and tractors and they have special tracks for4 wheel drive tours. What's so Special about the dirty beaches Here? Not aloud to drive and see the Rubbish? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curious297 Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 I was curious do I did some checking. So the maximum fine for: Drink and driving after 3rd count is 100K THB Punch someone then 4K THB. but drive your car on the beach and it’s 500K THB fine. Crazy that I see the jet ski towing cars drive up on the same beach everyday and what then… You couldn’t make this up!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveAustin Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Yes, foreigners are causing issues in Phuket at the mo it seems, but the they were invited en-masse, visa free, so the powers there will need to suck it up as this is how some of them behave. Driving a car on the sand is hardly worthy of this kind of over the top blowback even if they are aggressive Russian or Chinese types. Just fine them and be done with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digitalbanana Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Funny how the title of subject automatically assumes its a foreigner when the KhaoSod reports: >> #Phuket police arrested a driver who drove down to Kamala beach Mon. He's not a foreigner as many suspect but a 39-yr-old Thai who wanted his 2 kids to see the beach closely & recorded a video for him. Police charged him with careless driving, which may pose danger to others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerGuardian Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 "Driving or parking a car on beaches is prohibited in Thailand both for the safety of motorists and the environmental resources." So the safety of swimmers and beachcombers is of no concern to the authorities? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is visiting from Daytona Beach. On his way out to Kamala today he asked " remind me what side they drive on?" I told him the left. Off he went! It's my fault. I'm sorry.

Elkski Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Whats the big deal. Hasnt everything driven hundreds of miles on the beach? I sure have. On the Texas coast the beach is a road. Amd at least in the past you Could drive hundreds of miles along the coast of Florida. 4WD needed. Yes salt is corrosive but lots of cold weather states salt the eiads in snowstorms. Whats really salty is driving on the Bonneville salt flats. You see the locals spilling gas ss they fill yp the boats and jet skis. You see all the grease and oil that leaks out of these long tails. . Look at all those trashy boat trailers. Thailand beaches are a piss hole.
