Like any other country globally, Thailand has traffic rules and fines for breaking them. For some travelers, this comes as a surprise!
One guy from the United Kingdom once told us that the 500 baht fine he paid to a policeman for driving without a license was racist!
He may have forgotten that in the United Kingdom, where he was from, the fine for driving without a license is usually around £1,000 (45,000 baht = 90 times more) and 3-6 penalty points. The maximum penalty for driving without a license in his country is £5,000 (225,000 baht = 450 times more) and six months in jail. When talking about “racist fines” in Thailand, he didn’t mention that.
