Have you ever encountered chalong police or been through that roundabout? Obviously the Kiwi tourists shouldn't have done what they did, but chalong police stop and fine tourists ALOT, probably the most out of any province in thailand, not an exaggeration. They chase down tourists on that road to rawai actively....most Thai police just have checkpoints and don't actively pursue Maybe these Kiwi tourists were on holiday and booked a hotel room before the chalong roundable. Maybe they already got pulled over once or twice and fined already on a short holiday they were on.....when trying they are just trying to enjoy there holiday an get to the beach and they didn't realise there drivers license at home wasn't enough to drive Lets say they got pulled over a third time ......and just completely lost it and thought it was majorly unfair to pay another fine on their holiday they were just trying to enjoy The problem is that roundabout is a chokepoint to the major beaches on the south and west of the island. These police perhaps ruined these guys holiday from being stopped multiple times Also from the pictures - the rider is clearing wearing a helmet, he's probably seen 20 thai drivers in front of him with no helmet pass freely through the roundabout - without chalong police even batting an eye lid. Then they got singled out and shakedowned - You can understand why they feel unfairly targeted but obviously no justification for their actions

In Chalong's bustling daylight, two Kiwi tourists did stray, On a scooter's roar, they carelessly made their way. Through Phuket's lively streets, under the sun's harsh glare, Unaware of the chaos they would soon ensnare. But fate, in its twist, brewed a tale of shame, As a Thai officer, pursuing, called out their name. With a scooter's rev, he chased them in haste, To halt their reckless ride, their disregard misplaced. A brawl erupted, in the midst of the day's bright scene, As the tourists resisted, in a manner obscene. They grappled with the officer, in a crude display, In a disgraceful clash, in that public array. Amidst the chaos, they seized the officer's gun, Pointing it mockingly, their foolishness undone. But in their hearts, no sense of honor or right, As they reveled in disrespect, in broad daylight. With arrogance and hubris, they held the gun's sway, Choosing chaos over peace, in their reckless play. Their hearts, devoid of remorse, in the day's harsh light, As they taunted the officer, in their shameful flight. Through Chalong's streets, where shadows cast a pall, Two Kiwi tourists brought disgrace, heedless of all. A tale of arrogance, of disrespect, and disgrace, In the tapestry of time, a blot on their race

Singaporean motorist lashes out at Thai police officer over fine
hydraides replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
3k fine is alot and pushing it for one stop when so many thais are riding without a helmet, normally they combine fines and give you a 800thb- 1000 thb fine They got greedy here it seems -

Border run after Ed visa.
hydraides replied to Daithi85's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Probably 75% of people with Ed-Visa are using that visa just to stay long term in Thailand, not actually study classes....... 'Tourists' use Ed Visas to stay long term in Thailand whilst usually doing remote work There are also many scammers and undesirable tourists who use Ed Visas to stay long term. Immigration has no real way or knowing whether you were genuinely studying classes or not.....and so everyone now with a previous ed visa has to suffer these types of consequences unless you get a new passport If you don't want to pay the extra, go back to your home country and order a new passport -

I am thinking of getting a TR Visa in Penang, Spend 1 week in Thailand ....then travelling home to UK for 2-3 weeks with re entry , When I come back i'd still have 3-4 weeks left of valid TR remaining Has anyone done this and what was your experience with Immigration on the way back The reason I'm doing this , is its easier and quicker to get TR visa in penang than UK

From my understanding....immigration only check your history attached to the passport number you enter with in the computer when you enter If you get a new passport..........they will only look at history on computer from that new passport number That is my understanding from Visa companies I have contacted Many Visa companies I have contacted have said....."get new passport to avoid any problems"
