like ive said a 1000times.... you need to be a bit delutional to fully enjoy pattaya...... pattaya is not real.... its fugaci... everyone tryes to get some money out of you and if you think its cheap good for you..... i get exosted when i stay there
i get arrested too at the same police station twice in the same day, i paid 400 bath both times... in the morning, no helmet, no licence and in afternoon, i had parked the motorbike on the red and white lines. ..Was a funny wasted day.
I always keep a copy of my passport & visa page in my wallet, it’s a legal requirement to carry ID on you at all times in Thailand. If you didn’t have the camera on he would have gone away for 200b
You can also make a photo of your passport and visa ( drivings licence ) and put it in your cellphone - you do not have to carrie ther real one with you all the time - If they ask for the real one You can go to your hotel and take that to the police station - Most important thing is : stay out of trouble and behave yourself a litlte bit 😉
I'm happy you did not get arrested. At least you were able to make another great vlog! Keep being you and enjoy the adventure 🙂Some laws in Thailand to keep in mind: It is illegal to drive without a shirt on. It is illegal to not wear underwear. You must always have passport or photocopy of your passport on your person.
@@thedeadhorse I read that comment but with the sound of your voice in my head 😂😂😂 I have been steady watching your vlogs so I guess it can't be helped. Great work! Truly a unique and exciting vlog you have Mr. 👑
@@pradeepprabhakarann8401 I wouldn't go as far to say they are after people for that specific reason, just don't get caught with your pants down and no underwear 😉
vlogs are easy Sean, just walk up Beach road, say "everythings just starting again, plenty of people here". Walk up walking street, and say "this is better than last week". Walk up Soi Buakhao, and say "this place is rockin" , and finish up by showing your shop/boozer. Jobs a good'n
Hey Sean that same copper. Caught me. On 2 nd road For no helmet. He was sat outside a shop on a deck chair right by the traffic lights. Pulled me over. Told me to pay him 1000 baht fine. Paid him. Had a little chat about drinck driving laws in uk 😂😂 Then gave me 500 baht back Have to say he was ok as far as coppers go 😂😂 love the vlogs I’m back in jomtien in January for 3 months. Look out for you. And have a Leo and a biffda😊mark. Ormskirk nr Liverpool
I've only just discovered your channel and I've watched two of your vids. In one you stripe a nosey pensioner and in another you get nicked (sort of!) Keep on rocking fella 🤣🤣
I got pulled over by Police for not wearing a mask, right by walking street, he showed me a big plastic card which had in big letters Maximum fine 20,000Baht, I obviously wasn’t going to pay that, he took me into a small room with about another 4 policemen, I just put my hand in my pocket and had 3,000Baht and his eyes lite up so didn’t feel like any other option but to let him have it and get out of there, I was really cornered and obviously ripped off! This happened last year! Guys that spot by the walking street sign is the top place for the police to catch tourists beware!
@@thedeadhorse Great thx. Have been happily in Indonesia for 28 years now. Avoid the UK like the plague. Your vids are super cool. You are insanely curious to explore places off the beaten track as I am and daring as well.
Spent the night in the cells in soi 9 after refusing to pay the boys in brown 30K for some trumped up charges ,I paid 40k bail (Which i got back)and went to court a couple of days later ended up paying 3500 baht .
This happened to me, but on return the cop finished for the day, had to pay fine and the release fee from some dump yard for the bike. Pattaya is a shithole, so many nice places to visit in Thailand
Yah, gotta wear the basher. They love to give tickets. Typically, they just pull you into the cop box at the beginning of Walking and let you settle in $ on the spot or hold your license/ID/passport for "safekeeping" until you pay🤣 I guess keeping your key ENSURES compliance. No doubt you got an actual ticket (as opposed to a $ donation) as you were filming.
@@cabovermike I was thinking same even tho I'll never ride (again) without a helmet. I rode for 7 wks in Pattaya (May-June) with no issues then got stopped 2x in 7 days for silly things. It's like a switch was hit and the rules all of the sudden applied🤣😂$$$
Couple of tips download Bolt taxi would've been cheaper and also you could've come from the police station saving you a sweaty walk for 10 Bhat on the bus happy days
Well, how times have changed in Pattaya, as a 15 year in 1982 I hired a Suzuki 125 without a lid, the Thai guy hiring the bikes on Beach Rd just wanted to see my passport and know where I was staying., no dramas with the Police either.
i got stopped in Ayia Napa riding without a helmet (me and pillion) - id been riding for over a week but then one day the coppers were pulling bikes in for no helmet etc ,so just as they were dealing with me they had also pulled a local taxi driver and he got mad as hell at the cops,dont know what he had done(think it was seatbelt maybe) but the cops started wrestling with the taxi driver and one cop was reaching for his gun ,i was looking at the other cop who told us to get gone GOOO!!! so i did as i was told and hid the bike, fooked off into town for a bit, later on i returned with helmet n took the bike back to the hire shop
Its my life and i will not harm my self by wearing a mask, you must be another brainwashed person, no one is actually wearing the only mask that works and that is the N95 version
Don't know what's around the corner with your blogs that's what makes them more interesting.glad you got off with lesser fine their tea money pot must be full🤑
I think once you've been fined 200B for the hat you've a number of days to buy one before you get fined again. The fashionable kids queue up to get the bit of paper.
Really enjoying u vlogs Sean. A breath of fresh air. Loved the koh chang as I was there in Dec. Great content fantastic humour doing a great job. Enjoy with horse and have great trips around land of smiles. Stay safe and go with the flow !!
How long you been in Thailand man? Have the paperwork on you and avoid this crap usually. I see so often farang/foreigners living in Thailand for years and they leave everything at home all paperwork. You are not a citizen and never will be in Thailand. That particular cop is an officer, if he wanted, he could have put in jail so you would have to pay more fines! It is all about the fines with us as we have money. Thai citizens have no money they are not fined like we are, just the way it is in Thailand! My Thai wife does the driving in Thailand or I rent a driver for like 20.00/day, cheaper than petrol!
I didn't like how he didn't explain anything, ive heard some storys abouts the police over there. I thought the other guy was coming to take your bike away but he wasn't much help either. I'm glad you got it all sorted out mate.
always wear mask when u r out in public place Sean. Without mask, that paid 200 fine for without license..... will become 1000 baht for 1st violation. 2nd time violation 10k. 3rd time is up 10k to max 20k.
@@anthonydowling3356 , correct... when I go over to Thailand I make sure I have actual paper copies x5 of my passport, Aussie drivers license, International Drivers Permit and Health Insurance details... as well as have them on my phone.. (in case the hard copy I give them goes "missing" I can still show them..) and in two different locations ;) I also wear a proper helmet.. more than likely your own home country makes you wear one so why not do it there too, as even at the low speeds travelled at around town, if you do get hit and come off and land wrong can be quite a game changer... I also wear proper shoes and at least jeans and a light jacket.. "gravel rash" is not your friend ! It might seem a bit over the top, but I have learnt by experience, you don't want your trip spoilt by a painful and possibly avoidable injury.. I have been over there 5 times now and never had a problem with the cops, they have looked at me a few times... I have given them a quick nod, as "Hello, yes I see you too".. but not pulled me over.. Yet ! Maybe on my next trip, I might "win the lottery" ;)
Hello Sean,someone with name ben dover took one of your videos and put it out on youtube with his name,,,wonder how that is possible,,,,greetings from germany and good travel::::Fight in pattaya
He stopped me last week, I slipped him 1000 baht and he ripped up the ticket, didn’t save me any money, but saved me a trip to the station, there all corrupt as ....
They usually pull the English up all the time outside the police station I got done for not having my documents on me as well before long you will get done for not wearing a mask
this mask wearing is not law, and i dont wear one because they course harm to your lungs, the health minister in Thailand did say he was going to fade out mask wearing
A friend of mine got stopped no seat belt 400 baht fine no problem he said he went to soi9 to pay the fine he spent 4 hours queueing up in line. He was fuming. 🤣🤣🤣
If you didn't film him you could just have given him 500 baht put on your helmet and he would let you drive off but he wouldn't accept that as he was on camera.
Only just been put on to your channel..fucking mega mate 👍 someone with a set of bollocks..doing fuck all wrong and living free with no fear. Good on ya bro, have a great time. Respect from Yorkshire
if they clamp your bike or illegal parking or whatnot, often-times it's quicker/cheaper to just send a motorbike taxi driver to fix it up. official fine is 500, they'll provide the service for an additional 100. probably just give the cops 300. can save you an hour of time.
ha haha yes buddy but have you any idea how much money I have ernt from this vlog, top tip to any RU-vidr, get nicked by Thai cops and make a your money back plus lots more by sharing it, Cheers buddy
You are lucky you didn't try wearing the helmet or no drivers license in america. That motorbike would have been tow away and you be paying fines over $200.00US to 400.00US.
Well you had a nice 850 meters carefree bike ride. The only one should be processed are these thai bike owners “companies” who are illegally renting out motorcycles that are illegally parked on thai public streets and on top of that are illegally washed on the thai public streets. However they rather fine tourists about an helmet.
maybe its your government military issued helmet, yes i think that would get you zero respect anywhere in the world. no offence my friend, think about it.
You have balls of steel my friend, I do enjoy your videos, keep on keeping on. Maybe you should just walk through town with a police officer helmet on, lmao .. I like crazy, but I worry about you ,my new friend .
Well mine did buddy, the normal uk license is nothing hear BUT the International license is now recognized, you need to have all stamps, The police where happy with mine
The cops in Pattaya are just gangsters! They got me before said i was going down a 1 way street he asked me for 500 baht I said no I will go and pay it and the police station when I got to the station I was charged 400 baht. The cop was Raging when I came back to get my motorbike key because he didn't get to pocket the 500baht😆
@HN no I didn't break the law because it wasn't a 1 way street it was a police scam. Who is whining? You sound very angry you should maybe get yourself a wee holiday somehow, I hear Thailand is nice this time of the year. Get a holiday and quit your whining...😆
@HN you where the one with the angry reply. I'm laughing at how angry you actually are chill out and enjoy yourself put your feet up at home and watch a bit of TV no need to pretend you are in Thailand 👍
@HN feel bad for me😂 I feel bad for you, pretending you are in Thailand but sitting commenting on RU-vid all day. Calm down take a deep breath and take a walk around your housing estate and get some fresh air 👍
