Title: Is CoCo losing his marbles?????
Post by: nookiebear on November 27, 2012, 02:48:25 PM
This will make you laugh until you cry...................

I got a phone call earlier from our good friend CoCo.He was driving along the 24 & rang me to ask if the 'speed police' were out in their regular spot.....I informed him YES they are indeed there..........

10 minutes later I get another call from him.........Wait for it!!!!!

He had forgotten where they are ALWAYS in waiting,didn't slow down in time ,went past the cameraman at 118kph & got done for the mandatory 200 baht...........

To be fair, I don't do that stretch of road very often and was sure the BiB stationed themselves at the 9km mark.


WRONG !

Still - only 200 Baht and I wished him a happy Loy Krathong......

I never remember where they are either. Hope you asked for a ticket though CoCo, that way you can speed the rest of the day as long as you stay in the same province. 200baht for speeding is a bargain. 200baht to speed all day, priceless! wildman

.... and do you also have to go to the local police station ?

I have previously considered the 400 Baht option when I been 'nabbed' early on a long journey.

Spot on Scorpio - can't be done for the same offence again in the same day.


Not sure if the rule applies to murder, or only traffic violations.

I wish it was only 400 baht for speeding here in Hawaii. Yesterday I got a ticket for speeding in Honolulu (39 mph in a 25 mph zone) and the fine was 3800 baht. I will probably just pay it (rather than go to court) because it is easier and I don't have to take a day off work. I wish the fine was just 400 baht, what a bargain.

400 baht is a bargain by comparison.
