90day reporting-bribed like a pro thai

[AustinRacing]

A few days late, the IO who was blow drying and straightening the colleagues hair behind the counter came to my window, holding the blow dryer in hand with 2-3 IO looking and listening in, all smiles and in cheerful mood. Sorry you need to pay 2000 she said. But if you don’t need receipt, you can pay cash 1000. Done, I exclaimed. She turned around and continued blow drying  and straightened the colleagues hair. In and out in 5 mins. I never felt so Thai. Corruption works….

Thanks for the info! I wish I had known this when I paid my 2,000 baht fine last time!

 

Was this at Chaeng Wattana?

No it wasn’t.

So it will probably not be possible at Chaeng Wattana. Anyway, you never know. So I'll try next time - by saying, "Well, that's a bit expensive. Is there any way that we can get the price down to a more reasonable level? Wink wink."

If this is true, it's likely the kind of thing that you let the IOs suggest, or you just assume isn't an option.
