Not only did I get stopped in the hire car on the last trip I had to pay a fine of 500 baht right then and there as the hire car company hadnt payed the tax which is only 800 baht for the year. The car was a brand new altis by the way not some piece of shit and as marc26 has found while on the bike I was also pulled over around 10 times or so and had to show my licence. I had both and as soon as I would show then the international licence they would just walk away and not even bother I dont think they get as many international licences. I dont mind that they are checking if it is for the right reason but as you know mostly it is just revenue and you can almost work your clock by some of these check points just before lunch and just before dinner, someones got to pay for it.
