But in specific places, not in the public areas where it disturbs people like a normal cigarette.

But in Thailand. Cars or taxis need to own a license to do that. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Since owning a license costs a lot of money, there are many people who use their cars without paying a fee to the government, and just that the police will not see them while working. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If you are in that illegal taxi and are caught by the police. Nothing you are responsible for, you just lose time being investigated, for instance, how you found that taxi, how much you paid and to find a new registered taxi.<\/span><\/p>\n\t<div id=\"gap-370751723\" class=\"gap-element clearfix\" style=\"display:block; height:auto;\">\n\t\t\n<style>\n#gap-370751723 {\n  padding-top: 30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-1731975011\">\n\n\n\t<div id=\"col-295852877\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\" style=\"background-color:rgb(142, 209, 252);\" >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Joined an excursion that the tour guide doesn\u2019t own a guide license<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-295852877 > .col-inner {\n  padding: 19px 6px 4px 20px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This is the same melody as the article above. The reason why people who want to be tour guides won\u2019t get their guide license is not because of fees like taxis but because of personal qualifications. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">To own a guide license you have to spend much time and skill (Knowledge, language) taking courses. The big problem is you have to be a Thai national. In Thailand, many foreign tour guides are doing illegal jobs every day. Of course, they cannot get the license because they are not Thai. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Tour guide job is conserved for Thai people. Because to transfer knowledge about Thailand to tourists should be done by Thai people, not by foreigners. So that the tourist will get the real info from real locals. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Now what happens if you join an illegal excursion and it is caught by a police? Of course, the tour will end and I am pretty sure I will not receive money back since the organization is illegal.<\/span><\/p>\n\t<div id=\"gap-337937169\" class=\"gap-element clearfix\" style=\"display:block; height:auto;\">\n\t\t\n<style>\n#gap-337937169 {\n  padding-top: 30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-477577703\">\n\n\n\t<div id=\"col-626353874\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\" style=\"background-color:rgb(142, 209, 252);\" >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Drive motorbike without helm<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-626353874 > .col-inner {\n  padding: 19px 6px 4px 20px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Interestingly many tourists even locals drive motorbikes without helm.
