June 29, 201015 yr Hi guys, my Thai friend just showed me a souvenier from his last trip on road number 2 from Saraburi to Udon he got via registered letter. Seems, the BIB tokk some of our tax-money and upgraded some equipment. The souvenier was made around Nakon Ratchasima and costs 500THB. Well, in my home country it would have taken (at least)300EUR and a 1 month healthy walking experience. Have never heard about this, neither seen one... Cheers Ralf
June 29, 201015 yr I got one on Petchaburi road about 1yr ago, they have had them in Bangkok a long time already...
June 29, 201015 yr Speed cameras have been in use in Thailand for at least 3 years now, though it appears the fine has increased by 100 Baht..
June 30, 201015 yr I got one last week, not for speeding but jumping a red light! 500 baht as well. That was in Bangkok. I won't do that again!

June 30, 201015 yr Somehow I actually think that this is a great improvement. No problems, I never do red lights and I am happy to pay my speeding tickets, I know I have been speeding
July 1, 201015 yr What happens if u don't pay them? I lost the letter they sent and have not heard anything since...
July 1, 201015 yr They started the whole red light camera thing a year or so ago. After a few weeks they found that they were catching too many people and the cost to hire staff to issue the fines, follow up on them outweighed the revenue from the tickets themselves. (ok I just made that up, but sounds plausible).
July 1, 201015 yr What happens if u don't pay them? I lost the letter they sent and have not heard anything since... When you renew your tax it will show up and you will have to pay it plus a small late payment fine before getting the new tax.

No mention of it, unless it was on the same bill as the tax and I would not have noticed it as it was in Thai?
July 2, 201015 yr Both the wife and a worker have been done at lights in Bangkok. The letter gets sent to the registered owner and thaicbr is right it will catch up with you at the Land Transport Dept when you renew you tax. JohnnyFeelIt, it probably takes to beyond the payment deadline before it gets recorded against your tabien.
