my Thai realtor had to pay 5500 because she was a little tipsy and had no helmet. It all depends on the one that pulls you over and where you are. Again i say, be safe, get a Thai license if you intend on being here long and I stand by that, and again, I am in Pattaya things are different here

in Pattaya and Phuket it is at the discretion of the cop that pulls you over at the time 🤣. Otherwise yes you are right. Im not arguing anyone just telling the truth about these areas.

yeah very much even to Thais believe it or not in some cases. With everything in Thailand, it’s subject to change and location. Not leaving though 🤷🏽‍♂️🤣

you arent going to tell me what I have personally experienced. Its not ignorant talk, your response is ignorant. That may be your experience although I highly doubt it depending where the stop happened. My buddy had to pay 5k baht as well. Had a IDP, US motorcycle license and was wearing a helmet. They said “this no good”.

yeah get pulled over with one and tell me how it goes. I sit at my favorite beachside bar and watch the stops and see the people arguing they have an IDP and still have to go inside and pay a fine.

Anonymous participant 233 you dont need an IDP to get a Thai license. Get pulled over with an IDP and I promise you that you are more than likely paying a fine.
