i got stopped by the police in bkk as i came down the stairs on the pedestrian overpass at panthip plaza.

the police who spoke little english saw me smoking as i walked down the stairs they stood in front of me and pointed to a cigarette butt on the ground.

i was still smoking my cigarette i pointed at the "offending article" which was brown filtered whilst i smoke LM menthol (white filter).

the look on their faces was priceless, they smiled and waved me past.

just trying for their afternoon drink money i think.

I always carry a copy of my passport and an international driver license with me.

In 1998 i had a problem in the bars with another farang and police came. So of course the first thing they wanted to see was your passport.

I just do it like at home.

Not if you carry the paper (and only that day IIRC not the next)..

I have done this a few times.. got caught and then shown the payment slip that night with no problems.. I have also been stopped.. paid a fine.. kept driving.. got pulled and smiling went to show the paper.. And I had lost the bastrad !!! Had to go pay again !!! I went from all cheerful and cocky to glum in about 5 secs !!!

Here's one from the other side. My mates Thai wife was stopped in New Zealand and asked for her driving licence, she pulled out her Thai I.D card, and with her sweetest smile ,told the cop it was a Thai licence. She got away with it, she has never passed a test.:thumbsup:
