We went to Bali for the first time and they have metered taxi's .The same distance you pay 200 baht in patong would cost you 30 baht.and they dont complain.its about time the goverment steped in but i dont' think much would change

Would agree with kata and definitely Nai Ham is very nice ,not sure on accom,should be private residents you could rent

...I've been here 8 years too and driven on many highways through many provinces and seen plenty of radar traps, speed cameras, alcohol check-points..depends if you're there when they're there!!

Radar traps in LOS?! Yikes! THought LOS was a walk in the park for high speed touring. Where do they provide this 'public service', motorways, highways or city roads, and are they in cars/trucks or just standing by the road holding a radar gun? Need to keep a look-out... not advocating unsafe driving, but the posted limits can be daft.

Hi bbradsby,
I was stopped after going through a radar trap, on route 2 by-passing Korat. Cost me I think 300 or 400bt and got a reciept for it, so was official. Ok though just get in the queue pay the fine, no mark on your licence.
There was another time which was classic. Going to Udon, again on route 2. I was stopped by a cop waiting by the side of the road on a motor bike. He took 100bt from me. Told my girl friend that I should drive slow for the next 1/2 kilometer. Sure enough on the 1/2kil mark, there they were with speed trap??

same as what happened to us going to kanchanaburi a small payment to the police officer that looked like a chap off chips movie from america,money his pocket , the drink limit shoud be 0.08 for all and a fine for repeat affenders should loose there licence for  6months

We have been to a few 7-11's on our last trip to bangkok and the people behind the counter new some english or got one of the other workers that spoke english.
To me this is a step in the right direction.Any help is better than none,
