Go pay your fine at the police station over

Motorbike drivers beware as Pattaya police have erected even more
roadway checkpoints in the name of preventing crime.
Officers are waving over motorcyclists at five more locations in North
Pattaya, checking for legal license plates, registration, helmet use and
drivers’ licenses. Tickets also are being written for bikes carrying
more than two people.
Police say the effort is to eradicate drugs and
weapons from the city center. Crime rates spike during high season, they
claimed, requiring even more vigilance to protect tourists.
Officers also cited cases of foreigners stealing motorbikes or cars they
rented.
