I've done it several times, but not since covid. There was always a check point anyway in Lampang (tea money!). I'd be interested to hear also.

My Scottish friend was stopped for "speeding" in Bangkok and told to pay a fine ... he turned to his wife, saying (in broad Glaswegian) "tell him tae fuck off". I'm not quite so brave ... yet.
