Only if you are visitor once you have
a work permit you should apply for
a Thai driving license, I say should
mine's been expired for the last three
years such a pain to renew every year.

Yep, try pointing that out to the Thai policemen when they pull you over for any reason. ÝAnything can happen and I think it costs about SGD 20.00 for a 1 year IDP which can save quite a lot of hassles in the end. Ý

just drive, be careful not to kill anyone in an accident, and pay the "fine" when the police pull you over

Whats the consensus on what to pay for the fine? I get different advice from Thais vs. farangs - last time I handed a hundred neatly folded under my licence, no dramas, but that was upcountry.

FarangBha:
In BKK, the "going rate" is Bt 100 if you're a farang on a motorcycle, Bt 300 if you're in a car.
Upcountry, Bt 50 and 100 respectively.
Enjoy your drive!

what if i didnt have a IDP and only a canadian drivers licence and I randomly 'havin some bad luck' get pulled over on a small motorcycle in bkk or driving to pattaya or in pattaya etc.? would I always be able to 'pay the fine' if I was polite and spoke in formal thai? or could it sour very easily leading to searches and the works??

Fanta - I've found it depends on the cops attitude more than your own - I've only had a couple experience in the car - once the cop was real persistant in wanting the full fine, saying it was a government order that he couldnt take payment directly, but if I paid the full fine, he would pay it on my behalf. That was a prick out near the airport - no seatbelt, and some crap about changing lanes the wrong way!?!?!?
BTW - there's a new blue Fanta out here!

yah i figured that it was all a random thing just like anywhere anytime... i'd probably try taking my chances and just ride my bike with out licence/insurance and deal with the boys in black/brown as it comes. even know it would be hot I would try wearing a tinted full face shield helmet and maybe even gloves so no one could tell I was falang.
a blue Fanta?? is it a rasberry/blue berry type of flavour?

Haven't tested it yet- Fanta is too sweet for my buds, but I guess I could try it for you if you asked nicely...
