Promo gimmick – free noodle per one traffic ticket

Featured Replies

Nakhon Ratchasima: – A street food vendor has come up with an unconventional idea to hand out 30 noodle dishes per day for traffic offenders.


Each customer has to show a receipt of paying traffic fine dated the same day as demanding the free serving, according to the Daily News report.


Food vendor Sirithat Somsangiem, 35, said he totally understood it was a real bummer to receive a traffic ticket.


Sirithat said he wanted to do something to show his sympathy.


After consulting with his family members, the win-win solution came up that he could promote the awareness of his noodle stall as well as lifting the moods of motorists after having to pay traffic fine.


His noodle stall is located in Tambon Hua Thalae, near five-prong junction at the Chainarong Gate, Mueang Nakhon Ratchasima district.


The promotional sale has been circulated in social media, attracting customers to line up for their turn at the free serving.


Many also want to taste the noodle dishes.


The vendor said he would like to remind that motorists could not use old fine receipt to qualify for free serving.


He said his 30-dish quota would fast run out around lunch time, signalling a large number of motorists being ticketed each day.


A customer Weerayuth Nakhathorn, 21, said he received a ticket at a police checkpoint while riding his motorcycle.


Weerayuth said he was very upset about the ticket because he felt police tried to fault him for the alleged traffic offence.


“At least, I can now console myself with free noodle,” he said.



There is a very fine line between genius and insanity.

I think I've found it.

Great idea for a bit of free publicity. Good on him

Yea I can see it now, people asking to be pulled over so they can take a selfie with the guy...

Attentionwhoring big babies who will never grow up.

Expect increased reports of "Hungry people speeding".

Do they give receipts for fines that are deposited directly into the brown cloth pocket?
