dougiemac57 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 It's not over and never will be. I got stopped by the police in Hua Hin and bcos I never had my license on me they told me it was a 1000thb fine which was written on the ticket they showed. As I am a believer in doing the right thing I handed over my 1000thb, however no ticket and 500thb change. Now obviously the cop pocketed it and had the cheek to tell me he was in a good mood today. Never mind the others who were passing by, no helmet, no number plate and probably no license whereas I said that I could go and get my license along with my IDP similar to the UK, you have a certain time to produce the documents but Thailand seems to be a busmans holiday for the authorities.

Still, better losing 20 quid than going to court or getting deported. He probably would have settled for 500 baht. No wonder he was in a good mood. Best check your helmet- maybe someone wrote 'MUG' in thick black ink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've got to fill the vacancies or the neighbors to the east will think the house is empty, kick the doors in and squat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets see how many phone calls you get.If you are right, your phone should be very quiet. But he reportedly doesn't speak English. His Chinese is up to #68 on the take away orders menu though.

HHTel Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Had a drink with my policeman mate from immigration a couple of hours ago. I said that it appears you can't take money for 'favours' any more. No paying to get your extension approved etc. His answer while laughing. "Don't worry. Everything is same. Don't listen to newspaper reports". That's pretty much verbatim. So much for fear from above! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't heard from anyone applying for one in the last few days, so perhaps it's improved. The office hours certainly have - 6am to 8pm now. As an aside, last time I got one it was 2 weeks; not about 2 weeks, they told you to come back in 14 days. This time I got a slip to return in 30 days at 5pm when I declined the 'express service'. Perhaps there weren't enough people willing to pay for the sake of 2 weeks, but whatever the reason for it, it has doubled. At ,east you get one ,Kanchanaburi dont issue them period,same they refuse to do 90 day reports on line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
