Did it actually help you save a ticket?the link is http://dealthailand.com/deal/454 and i'm not sure if im allowed to post a link, but im in no way affiliated with them. here a link to a cheaper price, http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/HOT-Police-Radar-Detector-GRD-350-RUSSIAN-LANGUAGE-for-yur-Car/900998_653482446.htmlanyhow, its about the product itself.. would love some reviews by expats driving in thailand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post hkt83100 Posted March 20, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted March 20, 2013 The cheapest way would be to adhere to speed limits and traffic laws and use your [insert proper device here, maybe "brain"] accordingly. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSJ Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I'd be a bit suspicious of their 360 degree claim. I'd rather have a detector with a 90 degree beam that is concentrating on what's in front of the car. Besides that, how many physical speed detectors have the police got?

MESmith Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Off topic, but does anyone have a gps file or know a website showing speed trap locations? Heading down to Koh Chang from Chiang Mai at the weekend, & would prefer to put my foot down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rawhod Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 By the time you have detected the radar signal, they will probably have detected you. Plus, it won't detect laser speed guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanLaew Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 My experience with an imported radar detector in Thailand is as in post #7. They either have you 'painted' already or, they make it up anyway. My favourite is the 2 in the morning speed traps north-bound between Korat and Khon Kaen where they use BS-band radar. It's almost as amazingly undetectable as the silly MiB, standing in the fast lane, waving a strobe light! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am as well , ive got a Cobra 3 Band detector but it clutters the dash up, once the novelty had warn off , sod it , i just pay up,they dont get payed much for standing in the Fast Lane.

hansje1980 Posted March 21, 2013 Author Share Posted March 21, 2013 Thx for the replies folks, I guess the police uses very modern technology nowadays. Regarding post #2, u mean obey the Thai traffic laws? You must be insane. If I'd follow the rules I would be dead already ;-) Sometimes driving at slow or normal speeds can be very very dangerous. Just one of million examples :-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
