On my way to Pai and back, I came across checkpoints where they checked vehicles. I rolled down my window and greeted them, and they let me through, remaining calm.

The Thai police are still very friendly. I was stopped and asked to show my driver's license on the way from Krabi Town to Lanta. After showing my driver's license, the police let me go politely and said thank you for your cooperation and have a good time.

When going to the checkpoint, I also encountered it. I waved and let foreigners pass when I saw them driving. I felt that it was not a police car check, but a military police or military checkpoint, checking people instead of licenses.

The translation of this and the driver's license are useful. On that day, I followed the navigation and drove into Walking Street in Pattaya. Then I was stopped by the police and asked to go to the police station to pay the fine. I asked him if he could take the money. He said that I was the caregiver here and that he would be fine if I gave him the money ? Thailand Q&A

From the time you mentioned, after landing, you need to first check the queue to see if it's too long. If it is, you should find an immigration officer and explain to them that you have limited time, offer to pay for expedited processing, and then proceed to the domestic flight entrance to get your boarding pass and go through security. Your time is very tight, so after landing, you can also check if there is a special channel for connecting flights. I don't remember seeing one, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist ? Thailand Q&A

I met a Thai police on my way to Pattaya last year. He stopped my car and asked me for 1600 baht without any reason. He initially asked for 4000 baht. After I negotiated, he finally agreed to take 1600 baht. He refused to give me a receipt for the handling fee (it's obvious that he's trying to extort money from us) ? Thailand Q&A

Is it necessary to rent a car in Bangkok? I see that many scenic spots are in Bangkok, unless you go to nearby places. It's a bit far to drive to Chiang Mai and Phuket. I wonder if there are any worthwhile places to rent a car around Bangkok. If they are all in Bangkok city, it's better to take a taxi or something. What do you think? Also, are there any plans to go on the 7th of next month? Hahaha, I'm going on the 7th of next month ? Thailand Q&A

My feeling of use is that Google is more accurate and also supports walking navigation. However, both navigation airports are not very good, which may be related to road repairs. It's impossible to know the airport gate. I drove around for two circles, then ignored the navigation and went in through a big gate with the word "welcome" on it. ? Thailand Q&A

It also depends on where you are from. When I came back to Hong Kong for a transit, the check-in staff did not allow me to check in because of my Hubei ID. After going around for a while, I said I was from Shenzhen, and the airline check-in staff confirmed several times and allowed me to buy a ticket from Bangkok to Shenzhen. Ultimately, I was not allowed to check in ? Thailand Q&A

I just went to the parking lot behind the Grand Palace. There are some parking lots near the Grand Palace that are not open to the public for government agencies. The police and security personnel will tell you where you can park. There is a public parking lot nearby, and there are many large shopping malls around the Four-Faced Buddha where you can park.
