My SIL researched the helmet law and sent it to me. Enforcement of the new helmet law is supposed to start in June, with a 2000 baht fine ( $62.05 USD) for each person not wearing a helmet on the motorcycle, scooter, or bicycle for each offense.

This could be catastrophic for a lot of people. I agree that wearing a helmet is very important, but a lot of people here cannot afford it. Some bring their whole family on the vehicle. Can you imagine the fine on that? People won’t be able to afford to buy a helmet OR pay the fine. They will go to jail and lose their jobs. I’m hoping there is a way around this.
