A Night in the Thai Police Station
And why would I have a problem with that? I drive totally legally in both the UK and Thailand. Again - wholly correct - I'm not sure why sungod is trying to attack you from such a flawed perspective given his ignorance of the regulations and your situation. That said: many police officers here do not actually know the exact laws themselves, training is poor and regulations are often passed through a peer network from policeman to policeman - thus there are plenty of legacy errors with their understanding. Thus: Even though its legal to drive here on a UK License due to reciprocal agreements (for example), I would still recommend that tourists also have an IDP which removes any ambiguity should a 'lesser informed' police officer be operating a check-point etc - it just saves hassle. -

Is This Going to Happen
Don't think they'll increase these 800k/65k numbers. The plan is to can all these yearly extensions and force people to use appropriate visas such as the LTRs. LTVs for the toothless. -

A Night in the Thai Police Station
More barstool and mug talk. I've never been in a serious accident in Thailand but I can think of 2 mates who have. One was at fault, not sure about the other but the one thing I am sure of is that neither will have given the police a single baht - they both think like me. You might like to 'wake up' as you say - things are changing. Thai's are even starting to stand up to the police - not seen the news stories of them recording incidents of attempted corrupt police activity on their smartphones? The police wave them on. I don't need to wake up - I've spent a considerable amount of time in Thailand over the last 22 years. I've driven/ridden literally hundreds of thousands of kilometers and never once have I paid the police or knowingly taken part in any form of corruption. Perhaps its you that needs to wake up? -
