Report Expat Confusion Grows as Thailand Cracks Down on Helmet Law Violations
I completely agree. In areas with heavy tourist traffic – or more accurately, a high volume of short-term tourist rentals – the police often take advantage of the situation, targeting easy pickings and fleecing tourists. Of course, some will argue that it’s the tourists’ own fault for not having the proper licences or for failing to wear helmets, and technically, they’re right. But that entirely misses the broader point. The real issue lies in the inconsistency of enforcement. The laws themselves are perfectly adequate, but they’re applied sporadically, often not at all. When action is taken, it’s typically for show – a brief, performative crackdown aimed at generating a media headline rather than bringing about lasting change. For any meaningful improvement, enforcement needs to be national, consistent, and year-round. Unfortunately, that seems like far too much effort for a system led by people who simply don’t take these issues seriously enough. -

I would have no problem with this if they did it for everyone instead of mostly to just fleece tourists. I would also like to see them handing out 2k baht fines for bikes with illegal exhaust pipes while they are at it. -

5 year multiple entry DTV visa (Destination Thailand) from 2024-xx-xx
That is what I was afraid of. I will not have that. Sounds like I may need to pay an agent to do it since they always seem to have ways around that stuff. -

The old fine would have been adequate if actually enforced. I think this is an excellent action and I hope they really enforce and do so indefinitely. -

Sometimes the receipt for the TM.30, according to posts seen in this forum.
