Couple of months back I also kana for "driving too long in the right lane" WTF right? There was an "operation" and the police were taking bribes from the Thai drivers until he came to me... realize I wasn't Thai I think he wanted more until my tirak told him that BHT160, Bro ETC88 at least u got BHT60 discount, is more than enough. Driving away tirak then went on to rant on how these good for nothing lazy policemen can't do a decent day of work and must always go around extorting money from ordinary people. Her family when driving north to visit relatives must always prepare small change to bribe the police along the way. In Thailand the police have a bad reputation, hence aka the brown mafia, whilst the army is held in higher esteem.
