last night I was at the beach with my gf when a group of police came through and wanted to see her ID. they then said they wanted 100b before they would hand it back. I refused to pay it altho she wanted me too. afterwards she went down to the police station and got it back with out paying. can any one explain what they are doing this for?

They might have thought you were a phyco killer?

My guess would be his intention was to get 100baht from you...

can any one explain what they are doing this for? surely you are not that thick how long have you been here ???

Pretty sure he is trolling.

Umm .. what did the police say to your GF and who exactly did she get the ID back from at the station ? The same policemen or who ?

I am suspicious of the story as told to be honest.

I dont know what they said exactly because it was in Thai, but one of the accusations according to her was that she was selling her pussy. I dont know who she got it from at the station, but she gave me back the 100b so she didnt pay them

I'm not saying that your story did not happen.

"can any one explain what they are doing this for?"

That part is clearly trolling. No one is going to accept you are that slow.

Edit: I see you admit to trolling, there we go....

well maybe my explanation is wrong, I would like to think they werent just extorting money but it sure looks that way to me, which is why I refused to pay and also explained to them that the event would be recorded on social media so that interested public can be aware of what they are doing

the usual 100 baht is the fine for hookers working girls/boys on the beach, fine is for loitering.

she may have paid it, just did not tell OP, or may be managed to convince someone at the station that she was not working

if she is a "worker" next time around it may end up costing her much more and if she is not, then nothing to worry about

A post in French has been removed also the replies to it

Maybe they took your "girlfriend" for being a hooker , so the normal fine is 100 baht and then the girls are asked to stay away from beach rd. So yes I believe your story .

Slightly connected. Traffic cops operate the same scam with your driving licence. They ask to see it & then sell it back for 200 baht. I put mine in a plastic compartment in my wallet and hand the whole thing over. They are utterly confounded - they can't get the licence out; they can't trouser the whole thing so they eventually hand it back for free.

Assume you do not have any money or other important items in your wallet. Otherwise you may lose everything unless you pay their fee.

maybe, but it needs to be noted that the ladies werent asked to leave the beach and no attempt was made to remove them, so maybe this should be regarded as a tax rather then a fine

I dont know what they said exactly because it was in Thai, but one of the accusations according to her was that she was selling her pussy.

And I bet she doesn't even own a cat. Damn police!

It has now been noted that the 'ladies' were not asked to leave the beach. So how many girlfriends were you with ??

Had she just been your girlfriend for the proceeding 5 mins, whilst negotiations took place ??

Clown

I'm trying to figure out why the OP is getting a hard time here from some people over a simple enough statement about how he was treated by the police

did she?
