Ralf61 Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 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...

MoonRiverOasis Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Speed cameras have been in use in Thailand for at least 3 years now, though it appears the fine has increased by 100 Baht.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onnut Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyIdea Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyFeelIt Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 What happens if u don't pay them? I lost the letter they sent and have not heard anything since... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkkjames Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 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). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaicbr Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chav Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
