The law threatens to fine drivers between 5,000 and 10,000 baht and/or sentence them to up to three months in jail if they engage in racing, illegally modify their cars, or otherwise act suspiciously. Pick-up trucks can only carry a certain number of passengers in the rear bed and require the driver and front-seat passengers to use seat belts.

The new penalties under the amendment are as follows:


• Up to 4,000 Baht in fines for breaking the speed limit, running red lights, or failing to stop at zebra crossings.


• A punishment of up to 2,000 Baht may be imposed for driving against the flow of traffic, failing to wear a helmet, or failing to buckle up.


• If you drive carelessly, you could receive a fine of up to 20,000 baht or a sentence of up to a year in jail.


• For the first offense of drunk driving, a fine of between $5,000 and $20,000 or up to a year in jail.


• For repeated drunk driving offenses, a fine of 50,000–100,000 baht or up to 2 years in prison may be imposed.




Race organizers and sponsors could spend up to six months in jail or pay a fine between 10,000 and 20,000 baht.
