PJcm Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I know that there is a Facebook page for where the traffic cops are set up in CM; it is in Thai, I can read it but slowly, does anyone know if there is similar page in English? I just try to avoid them as they cause more traffic jams then are warranted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JingerBen Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Traffic police checkpoints in Chiang Mai... Google maps. This is a useful resource to help you avoid traffic congestion and the possibility of being waylaid by these highwaymen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mestizo Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 There is this one: https://www.facebook.com/ChiangMaiCheckpoints?ref=hl But its no longer maintained, as I don't live in Chiang Mai. More than happy to pass it off to anyone willing to maintain it. -Mestizo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackArtemis Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 https://www.facebook.com/CMdaan http://www.paintleb.com/map3/ Wearing a helmet, having a license, and not drinking are also great deterrents... Thai friend just spent a night in Jail and it cost him 20,000B 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thailand Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Isn't this post about simply trying to flout the laws of Thailand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackArtemis Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Pretty much, as much as I hate the low low BAC levels for a DUI here, that's why these sites exist. But I am guilty as well, soooooo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post PJcm Posted January 13, 2014 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 13, 2014 Isn't this post about simply trying to flout the laws of Thailand? Thank you No this post is about avoiding traffic, I live outside of town and have many options from Sansai into town when I travel late mornings, My Thai driver's Licence is older than you, first obtained in 1969 45 years ago. Listen up you young whippersnapper if you don't know what your talking about shut your keyboard off, listen and learn something, ad hominem attacks are unnecessary. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post WinnieTheKhwai Posted January 13, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 13, 2014 Isn't this post about simply trying to flout the laws of Thailand? No, it's about learning where police checkpoints are. (You seem to think that 'police' has something to do with 'laws'? ) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celcius Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I heard you don't need a International Driving License in Thailand if you are here for 3 months or less. Is this true? Is there any documentation to back this up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivinLOS Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Easy, just follow the Laws and you don't have to worry where the Traffic Police locations are Not really.. Pulled over the other day.. 100% legit.. Asked for license, not being cambodia I willingly handed it over.. Then.. Wheres the bike tax.. Showed it correct and up to date.. Wheres the green book.. At home in the lockbox.. Ohh no must carry the original green book at all times on the bike.. Not a copy mind, must be the original !!! I cussed him out, snatched my license back and drove off.. While he was waving his paper with one of 4 tickboxes saying that you must have greenbook original.. Got a thump from the missus but no way on gods earth was I paying for that. Similar story stopped on my sportbike.. Once determined all was legal they started on the bike had a modified exhaust (it does, and it complied with a noise test at the testing station done properly) I told them it was standard and then just played dumb.. after 5 minuted of "standard.. Jing jing" ?? I was too much work and they let me pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
