The cops are going to love that ... "no helmet, 200 baht" ... "have helmet, 200 baht".

Re: Motorcycle helmets to be banned in deep South
Not just Thailand. Just googled and there is a similar bill going through in the UK and the Phillipines. The one in the UK is to ban burkas described as a face covering and the aim is to ban 'face coverings' so people can be identified. That would also cover helmets.
The same for the Phillipines.

IF this is a security issue then it can be solved easily - Off with the hemet when you OFF the bike and ON with the helmet when you get back ON the bike - I can't see the problem?
Courage is grace under pressure and when circumstances change you change your mind.

Here's my briefing to my bombing partners:
"OKAY, GUYS. WE HAVE 3 TARGETS TONIGHT, A, B AND C. KHUN MANOP TAKE TWO GUYS AND DO THE BUSINESS AT TARGET A. KHUN SARAWUT, YOU WILL TAKE TWO GUYS TO TARGET B. THE REST OF YOU WILL SUPPORT KHUN TEERAPAT AT TARGET C.
NOW REMEMBER, GUYS, YOU MUST NOT WEAR MOTORCYCLE HELMETS AS THEY ARE NOW AGAINST THE LAW. IT APPEARS THEY SCREW UP IDENTIFICATION ON THE CCTV FOOTAGE AND WE WOULDN'T WANT THAT, WOULD WE.
GOOD LUCK, GUYS AND DRIVE SAFELY!"

Similar in Sicily during the 90's when tinted visors were banned for the same reason.
