For those not living in Thailand, a couple of weeks ago a new law came into force mandating the wearing of seat belts in taxis and other forms of transport. This applies to back seats in taxis as well as passenger seats. Before this, I could rarely find the buckles in the back seats of Bangkok taxis but miraculously they have now appeared in most of the vehicles I have taken recently. If stopped - and another Board has mentioned police checks - and you are not wearing a belt that is functional, you and the taxi driver can be fined.
