The 100 Baht Note

February 28th, 2008

Paying fines in Thaiand is very easy and fast. When you pass a red light, forget your papers, turn right where you’re not allowed to, your friendly traffic policeman will be happy with a 100 baht note fumbled in his hand. The price is higher for foreigners, but sometimes the guys are open to negotiation. Most policemen speak only a few words of English, so be sure to bring your gay Asian friend to help you if you plan to cross any red lights.
