So as most foreigners obey traffic laws they should really rarely be stopped, Lets wait and see what happens.

Are you beig sarcastic? Most of the expats I know take the piss to the highest degree. No helmet, no license, do ownership documents, drunk as a skunk or hgh as a kite

I see you are missing the Kingdom so much, and why are you painting expats with the same brush as the people who you know, "sarcastically" that was a good question from the poster with genuine concern. In past years it was maybe so the expat was pulled by traffic police for a little tea monies, but now this is a entirely different game, I would imagine that there is very little bargaining in the official, or not so official proceeding when the law deal's with the situation of the expat.
I have up to now been waved on past four police stop points, here I put thanks too whom ever, even that it's been on the smaller bike. But I will not take the risk on the bigger bike because there is too much to debate if pulled over what would be the outcome. Too follow the law, helmets and licence, documents for the bike in your name! Acceptable owner (Khmer) being an expat can't put a previous registered bike in their own name. To me that alone is more than likely going to get you at least a fine.
Looks like this is here to stay, no more long journeys to distent places for me, it's just not worth the hassle anymore.

got to any expat bar and counthe drunks hopping on their bikes and going home, or the guys who have been sitting in certain place puffing wed all night. I do not, personally, know many expats as I tend not to loiter in expat dens because of this behaviour

I suppose they are also desperate for cash and trying to make up for it because they are missing all of the tourists they would normally cash in on.
