If you’re a foreigner that’s ever been on the receiving end of a traffic ticket in Thailand and could not understand a word of it, you’ll be pleased with this news.
The newly re-launched and revamped Thai traffic tickets will include English language translations for each section as well as a section to appeal the charge within 15 days if you don’t agree with it, reported The Nation.
