We can try and confirm it tomorrow? Gf is normally right on these types of things. She wanted to warn me and i am passing on the info.

Did you know that being 50mg over the alcohol limit will get you in the local police cell until they can get you in front of a judge next working day? To get out of this (eg dont spend the night in a cell) its 10,000 for a bike as a bribe and 20,000 if you were driving a car. I know a Thai who has been caught 4 times and his mother is fed up with bailing him out!

I was with a german friend that was pulled for DUI the other night while driving and was taken to the cells, paid 10,000 baht bail and to return monday morning for court. Havent heard yet what his fine was.

Hi All,

I see guys/gals of all nationalities doing this....Why is this so hard for some to comprehend. Who cares if it were 50,000 Baht, It's obviously the wrong thing to do. It's really not that hard to do the right thing.

Try a little patience while sitting in traffic, be a leader, not a follower.

I don't suppose you have ever waited to turn onto sukumvit from rama 4 on a motorbike, or some other notorious intersections.

Most Thais don't seem to be bothered by it and it is their country. Don't think it will change regardless of the signs they put up.

This is Thailand and like many other things, you can do it some places, but not others. Its up to you to know or pay the fee......

Like the 19 year old with the porsche that cut the Lao girl in half. The porsche probably cost 5million baht, but the cost of the girls life is probably 200k baht. Nothing if you can buy a 5mil baht car? What i mean is everything has a price here, you only have a problem when you cant pay? Thus the boy with the porsche wont serve any prison time. Mind you Thais are supersticous; that car is now haunted so who will want it? Its certainly lost alot of value.
