Police Asked Me 20 Bahts For Reporting Bank Passbook Lost

The police report is free but the paper work called ค่าธรรมเนียม is the minimal fee paid in many government paperwork. It is legal.

I agree you should never think you can become friends with a BIB, especially if you think all it takes to cement a friendship is to buy a couple of beers. Also agreed, you should never let the BIB enter your home unless they have a search warrant. This is one of the "founding principals" that I was amazed to see my husband enforcing with the local law enforcement back when we started to sell landscape plants out of our farm. He'd never had so much as a speeding ticket much less an overdue library book and there he was asking the state highway patrol to leave unless they intended to either buy some landscape plants or present us with a search warrant.

Of course, the cops backed down. Hubby said they probably saw the grow lights were were using in our greenhouses overnight and thought maybe we were growing something besides roses.

That little episode hit home with me. If they want 20 baht to cover the cost of filing a police report and making copies -- give it to 'em. Better than have 'em all over your homestead.

Probably one of of those silly questions asked....every new year day the traffic police used to receive gifts from grateful motorists..should they be charged with bribery and corruption... :ermm:
