Yes dumb farang who pay more than they should

@John *********

No it didn't. It's 500 Baht. I have received several speeding fines recently. Only farang suckers pay more. It remains 500 Baht. If they increased it, no one would pay it anyway. Thais can't afford to pay more than 500 and the police have enough trouble collecting fine payments as it is.

@John *********

No, it's not. It's 500 Baht.

I agree; on DTV visas there are no such checks.

Anonymous participant 603 Driving is more fun and low cost airlines suck. However, I wouldn't do a same day return like the OP did. I'd drive across to Laos, spend a night or two then come back. Always worth hanging out somewhere like Vientiane just to grab some nice French or Lao-French food, catch up with a friend or two and for a change of scenery.

Speeding tickets are 500 Baht and you can pay later. You got fleeced if you paid 1000.

Anonymous participant 166 I wonder if it was when the account holder applied for a new debit card. That's usually the only time you actually need to have any interaction with your bank, once every 5 years.

Anonymous participant 370 Oh why? And how did they find out about it?

Your reality isn't an actual reality. It's one you create yourself

Certainly not so few. In time, there will be fewer and fewer but as of right now, the e visa system is only 8 months old.
