Pattaya police get tough on licences: Fines for tourists AND rental companies AND confiscation of vehicle
A word of warning to visitors to Pattaya and renting bikes there.
Pattaya police have said that from now on if tourists are driving rental vehicles without licences they will be fined up to 1000 baht. But in a decisive new move the vehicle will also be confiscated. The rental company must then go and pick it up and pay a fine of up to 2,000 baht.
Pol Maj Arut Saphanon said there were no ifs and buts in the future - it starts now. Tourists must now have an international licence, their passport and home country driving licence when renting a vehicle in Pattaya. They must carry their documents with them to show to the police if stopped. No licence and the vehicle will be taken away on the spot.
