And this was news in what kind of way? He is probably the last one to find out that the fines differ from city to city.

You mean from policeman to policeman....

Yes, of course! I apologize for my poor knowledge. LOL
Sure I mean. You really got it right there!

In regards to the young guy talking, his accent is more, southern Georgia from the US. He probably picked up the dialect from his dad and the fact he's been living in Kohn Kaen for some time now. He's a close personnel friend of mine and army veteran such as myself. This is his second bike and he's yet to ever have a problem with either of them until now. Both have been bought from the manufacturer. He's been living in Thailand now after completing his monk hood for about a year and a half. He's actually quite knowledgeable about the fees. He's...can be a bit of a hot head and i'm guessing he was probably being a bit of a smart ass when he responded back to them in Thai. And yes, he can read, write and speak Thai and Laos like a local.

No doubt, but he speaks with the exaggerated tones of a fishwife.

 

On the subject of traffic cops and double pricing, it dates back so far that they probably invented it.

Cool, thanks for the bigger picture, it appears I was wrong. in your pic it is not a megaphone at all.

That's grand coming from a TEFLer ! 

Lots of people moan about the lack of language skills here. Please don't complain if a few TEFLers, as you like to call them, are trying to do their little bit to help.

Why ?

Would you care to elaborate.

Take a camera crew into that station with the bike. Film the bike contact the bike manufacturer and tell them that the RTP say there Thai made vehicles are ilegal. Post the police report and the police on YouTube and also. Advise tourists of the unresolved police scams and failed leadership. it's not safe here lol. I would have rode over the cop.

My wife was in an accident (Pattaya). 

Totally NOT her fault (a speeding moto in the wrong lane T-boned her truck).

I was miles away.

The cop said "you have farang name, all farangs have big money"....10,000 bt.

Say no simple and tell him one moment please. Open phone and start recording him and state the accident on cam. Ask him also if his married and do you treat your wife like a animal as well. Refuse and laugh at the funny police actor.

A post containing an image with Thai language has been removed, please remember, this is the English language side of the forum.

No wonder the cop charged him more , anyone watched the video ?   His voice is very very high-pitched and just irritating.

And yet in his apology to the police he said

 

"If you’re thinking about enhancing your exhaust pipe, don't do it. It disturbs other people."

All rubbish talk at the DLT they are not so strict on performance bikes. The police as I said let modified Harleys.ridden straight through.  Also they are not police. There roadside robbers who can not do any real police work.
