I got done for a grand on Suk for dropping a cig. The two coppers even had their own pre-printed forms and shit, and went through this pathetic charade of calling each other on the radios.
I laughed and told them Bt500 each and they could hit the lao kao that night.
Fortunately we all saw the funny side, and I was able to demonstrate to my son thailand police corruption in action.
A valuable lesson I thought.
