My Son returned from Phukett and had rented a scooter for his time there.
One day he returned to the scooter and found that his helmet had gone.
As he was going back to his training camp the Police pulled him over for not having a helmet, fine $50. to be payed at the police station, noticed that a lot of tourists were being fined.
Went to his training camp and ask the trainers what the locals do as the Police had his driving licence and he could only get it back when he payed the fine.
Told to go back to the policeman that had his licence and ask if there could be an be arrangement.
Told by the Officer to go to the station get some sort of pamphlet and return.
He then showed the officer that he only had $6 dollars in his wallet.
This then went into the pamphlet and given to the officer and he then got his licence back.
The locals told him that when the police had a blitz on helmets, those with out one, will take the helmets off the other scooters, so you just do the same.
