Thailand’s police chief has ordered traffic officers nationwide to uncover their faces, banning balaclavas under a sweeping crackdown on roadside enforcement. National Police Commissioner General Samran Nuanma has also ordered warnings before fines for minor offences and tougher restrictions on roadside payments. Officers must remove masks and sunglasses when checking motorists, while police commanders face strict supervision orders. The 25 October directive also introduces graduated fines, checks on previous violations and tighter checkpoint controls. However, dangerous driving remains subject to immediate penalties. Significantly, the crackdown revives a ban first imposed eight years ago against officers dubbed “ninja police”, raising fresh questions about why the original restrictions failed.

Thailand’s traffic police have been ordered to uncover their faces under a nationwide crackdown on roadside enforcement practices. Officers can no longer wear balaclavas or other coverings that conceal their identities from motorists.

The order follows direct instructions from National Police Commissioner General Samran Nuanma. Meanwhile, police must prioritise warnings over fines for minor offences and stop pressuring motorists for roadside payments.

The sweeping directive also tightens checkpoint supervision, introduces graduated penalties and requires checks on previous traffic violations. Significantly, it revives restrictions first imposed eight years ago, when officers wearing balaclavas became known as “ninja police”.

Nationwide police order bans balaclavas and requires traffic officers to reveal their faces to motorists

The written directive was issued on Sunday, 25 October, by Police Lieutenant General Nithithorn Chintakanont. He is Assistant Commissioner-General of the Royal Thai Police and deputy director of its Traffic Management Centre.

The order was circulated to Bangkok’s Metropolitan Police Bureau, Provincial Police Regions 1–9 and other relevant agencies. As a result, traffic officers across Thailand must comply with the new identification and enforcement requirements.

Under the instructions, officers must wear their uniforms correctly and remain recognisable while performing their duties. Balaclavas, full-face hoods and other coverings that conceal their identities are prohibited.

Likewise, officers cannot pull neck coverings over their faces when dealing with motorists. The restrictions extend to any equipment that prevents members of the public from identifying officers during ordinary traffic enforcement.

However, ordinary surgical masks and sunglasses remain permitted for protection against pollution, dust and sunlight. Officers may continue wearing them while carrying out their duties. Nevertheless, both must be temporarily removed when checking traffic violations or issuing tickets.

This requirement allows motorists to see the faces of officers exercising police powers. The Royal Thai Police says the measure is intended to strengthen transparency and public confidence.

Police chief’s October orders target concealed faces, roadside checkpoints and automatic traffic fines

The order follows an earlier announcement by General Samran on 9 October. During a meeting at a Royal Thai Police training and welfare facility, he addressed traffic enforcement and officers’ appearance.

In particular, the national police chief instructed officers to stop wearing balaclavas while dealing with the public. Instead, officers concerned about pollution could wear white surgical masks.

General Samran also ordered changes to roadside checkpoint operations. He instructed police to suspend checkpoints where excessively hot weather made their operation inappropriate. Furthermore, every checkpoint must have a clear operational purpose and an identifiable supervising officer.

The police chief also directed officers to demonstrate sincerity when dealing with motorists. His instructions placed greater emphasis on assistance and warnings rather than automatically imposing fines.

The policy was subsequently reinforced by a police spokesman on 17 October. Eight days later, the national police leadership issued its formal written directive. Consequently, the instructions were communicated throughout the metropolitan and provincial police command structure. Unit commanders were ordered to supervise compliance with uniform regulations and the new roadside enforcement procedures.

Motorcycle escorts retain face-covering exemptions as police introduce warnings for minor traffic offences

The face-covering restrictions contain exemptions for specialist police operations. Officers attached to the Royal Initiative traffic police programme may continue wearing protective equipment when necessary. Similarly, police officers performing official escort duties may use face coverings for operational safety.

These officers sometimes travel at considerable speeds on motorcycles, particularly along expressways. Police explained that strong wind pressure during high-speed riding can create safety risks.

Accordingly, protective face coverings remain permitted where specialist motorcycle duties require them. The exemptions do not generally extend to officers conducting ordinary roadside traffic enforcement.

Officers stopping vehicles, checking violations or issuing tickets must remain identifiable. Even when surgical masks are permitted, they must be removed during enforcement encounters. Sunglasses must also be temporarily removed so motorists can clearly identify the officers involved.

In parallel, the nationwide directive introduces a warning-first approach to minor traffic offences. Officers have been told to exercise discretion before imposing financial penalties. First-time offenders should generally receive warnings where the circumstances justify that response.

Police must also explain the relevant traffic regulations rather than automatically issuing tickets. The instructions therefore distinguish minor infringements from offences involving dangerous driving.

Traffic police ordered to check previous warnings before fines as dangerous driving remains an exception

The Royal Thai Police has introduced an additional requirement before citations are issued. Officers must consult the Police Ticket Management system, known as PTM. The system allows police to examine motorists’ previous warning records.

Consequently, officers can establish whether a driver has already received warnings for traffic violations. This information must be considered when deciding whether a fine is appropriate.

For repeat offenders, the directive provides for progressively higher penalties. Police describe the approach as graduated fines. The amount should reflect the nature and circumstances of the offence. Additionally, officers must consider previous warnings and the seriousness of the violation. The instructions require an appropriate response rather than automatic financial penalties for every minor breach.

The warning-first approach does not remove police authority to issue traffic citations. Officers may still impose fines where the circumstances justify enforcement. However, minor first-time violations should generally be handled through warnings and explanations. Repeat breaches can attract higher penalties under the graduated system. Serious offences remain subject to direct enforcement.

Notably, four categories of dangerous driving are specifically excluded from the warning-first policy. Driving against the flow of traffic and running red lights remain subject to immediate enforcement.

Drink-driving and racing on public roads are also excluded. Police identified these offences as behaviours capable of causing serious road accidents. Therefore, officers do not have to issue warnings before taking action against motorists committing these violations.

Roadside payment demands banned as officers must explain motorists’ rights and lawful fine procedures

On another front, the directive imposes explicit restrictions on the collection of roadside traffic fines. Officers are prohibited from coercing motorists into making immediate payments at checkpoints.

They must not threaten drivers or impose conditions requiring fines to be settled on the spot. Instead, officers must explain the lawful procedures for paying penalties, including the available authorised channels.

Motorists must also be informed about their rights and applicable payment deadlines. Furthermore, officers must explain the correct procedures for settling legitimate traffic citations. The instructions expressly prohibit police from soliciting or accepting money or other unlawful benefits. These restrictions apply alongside the requirements governing identification, checkpoint supervision and the issuing of fines.

The payment provisions do not prevent officers from issuing legitimate penalties. However, drivers cannot be pressured into immediate roadside settlements. Police must provide the correct legal information and follow the prescribed procedures. Similarly, officers cannot demand money or other benefits outside the lawful enforcement process. The restrictions form a central part of the nationwide instructions issued on 25 October.

Police commanders face renewed supervision orders eight years after the original ban on ‘ninja police’

Police commanders have been ordered to supervise compliance with the new requirements. The directive places responsibility on unit commanders throughout the national police structure. They must ensure officers wear the prescribed uniforms and remain identifiable during ordinary enforcement duties. Moreover, commanders must oversee the warning-first policy, graduated fines and restrictions on roadside payments.

The latest order follows an earlier controversy over Thai police officers concealing their faces. In August 2018, police authorities issued instructions against balaclavas among officers performing patrol and traffic duties. Officers were told to stop covering their faces while exercising police powers. At the time, some officers wearing balaclavas were described as “ninja police”.

The earlier restrictions were intended to ensure officers remained recognisable while dealing with the public. Yet the same practice has again become the subject of a nationwide directive. Eight years later, police leaders have returned to the requirement for officers to uncover their faces. The October instructions repeat that restriction while adding detailed rules governing traffic enforcement.

The latest official announcement does not explain why the earlier restrictions failed to eliminate the practice. Nor does it provide figures showing how many officers continued wearing balaclavas. No particular police units are identified as responsible for disregarding the previous instructions. Separately, the directive does not specify a new disciplinary penalty for officers who continue concealing their identities.

National police leadership tightens traffic enforcement rules following three October announcements

Instead, the Royal Thai Police has instructed commanders to supervise their personnel strictly. The order places responsibility on police management to ensure the requirements are followed.

This includes compliance with uniform regulations, checkpoint procedures and the handling of traffic offences. Commanders must also ensure officers observe the restrictions on unlawful roadside payments.

The current measures extend considerably beyond the earlier restrictions on officers’ appearance. They combine identification requirements with detailed instructions governing traffic stops, warnings and fines. Officers must remain recognisable, check previous warning records and follow the graduated penalty system. At the same time, they must explain motorists’ rights and the authorised procedures for paying fines.

The sequence began on 9 October, when General Samran announced his instructions on police appearance and roadside enforcement. His directions also addressed checkpoints, extreme heat and the treatment of motorists.

Subsequently, the policy was reinforced by a police spokesman on 17 October. The written directive issued on 25 October then communicated the requirements nationwide.

Royal Thai Police sets nationwide identification rules while retaining exemptions and graduated penalties

The Royal Thai Police has presented the measures as an effort to improve transparency and public confidence. They also establish common procedures for ordinary traffic enforcement.

Officers must wear their uniforms correctly, remain identifiable and follow the prescribed rules. Meanwhile, unit commanders must ensure their personnel comply with the national police leadership’s instructions.

Under the directive, ordinary traffic officers cannot conceal their faces behind balaclavas or similar coverings. Surgical masks and sunglasses remain permitted for environmental protection, subject to temporary removal during enforcement encounters. Specialist motorcycle escorts retain exemptions where protective equipment is necessary for safety. Otherwise, officers must show their faces when checking violations or issuing tickets.

For minor traffic offences, the instructions require warnings before fines where appropriate. Officers must consult the PTM system to examine previous warnings. Repeat offenders may face graduated penalties, depending on the circumstances. By contrast, dangerous driving, red-light violations, drink-driving and street racing remain outside the warning-first arrangements.

Roadside payment restrictions and nationwide supervision complete the new traffic police directive

The restrictions on roadside payments are equally explicit. Officers cannot force, threaten or pressure motorists into paying fines immediately at checkpoints. They must explain the correct legal procedures, payment deadlines and authorised channels. In addition, demands for unlawful money or other benefits are strictly prohibited.

The nationwide order covers Bangkok and Thailand’s nine provincial police regions, alongside other relevant agencies. Consequently, the instructions apply across the country’s traffic enforcement structure.

Police commanders must supervise compliance with the identification rules and the procedures governing warnings, fines and roadside payments.

The Royal Thai Police has therefore revived restrictions first imposed in 2018, alongside a wider enforcement directive. The latest instructions cover concealed faces, checkpoint supervision, traffic penalties and unlawful payment demands.

Officers conducting ordinary traffic enforcement must show their faces and follow the prescribed procedures. Their commanders have been ordered to ensure the requirements are enforced throughout Thailand.

在“犯罪”、“生活”、“媒体”、“泰国”类别下

泰国警察总长已下令全国交警摘下口罩，禁止佩戴巴拉克拉法帽，这是泰国警方对路边执法进行全面整顿的举措之一。国家警察总监萨姆兰·努安玛（Samran Nuanma）还下令，对轻微违章行为，在罚款前先进行警告，并加强对路边缴费的限制。警员在检查驾驶员时必须摘下口罩和太阳镜，而警队指挥官则面临严格的监管。10月25日发布的这项指令还引入了分级罚款制度，对以往违章记录进行核查，并加强了检查站的管控。然而，危险驾驶行为仍将受到立即处罚。值得注意的是，此次整顿行动恢复了八年前首次针对被称为“忍者警察”的警员实施的禁令，这引发了人们对最初禁令为何失败的质疑。

泰国全国范围内开展打击路边执法不规范行为的行动，已下令交警必须摘下面部。警员不得再佩戴巴拉克拉法帽或其他遮盖物，以免身份被驾驶员发现。

该命令是根据国家警察总监萨姆兰·努安马将军的直接指示下达的。同时，警方必须优先对轻微违章行为发出警告而非罚款，并停止向驾驶员施压，要求其在路边缴纳罚款。

这项影响深远的指令还加强了检查站的监管，引入了分级处罚制度，并要求对以往的交通违章记录进行核查。值得注意的是，它恢复了八年前首次实施的限制措施，当时戴着巴拉克拉法帽的警察被称为“忍者警察”。

全国警方下令禁止佩戴巴拉克拉瓦帽，并要求交警向驾驶员露出面部。

该书面指令由泰国皇家警察助理总监兼交通管理中心副主任尼提通·钦塔卡农中将于10月25日星期日发布。

该命令已下发至曼谷大都会警察局、第一至第九省警察局及其他相关机构。因此，泰国各地的交通执法人员必须遵守新的身份识别和执法要求。

根据规定，警员在执行公务时必须正确穿着制服，并保持身份可辨识。禁止佩戴巴拉克拉法帽、全脸兜帽或其他遮盖身份的物品。

同样，警员在处理交通违章案件时，不得用颈部遮盖物遮住面部。这项限制也适用于任何可能妨碍公众在日常交通执法过程中识别警员身份的装备。

然而，普通医用口罩和太阳镜仍可用于防护污染、灰尘和阳光。警员在执行公务时可以继续佩戴。但是，在检查交通违章或开具罚单时，必须暂时摘下口罩和太阳镜。

这项规定允许驾车者看清行使警权的警员的面孔。泰国皇家警察表示，此举旨在加强透明度和公众信任。

警察局长10月份的命令针对的是蒙面执法、路边检查站和自动交通罚款制度。

此前，萨姆兰将军于10月9日宣布了这项命令。在泰国皇家警察训练和福利中心的一次会议上，他谈到了交通执法和警员仪容仪表问题。

特别是，国家警察总长指示警员在与公众接触时停止佩戴头套。取而代之的是，担心污染的警员可以佩戴白色医用口罩。

萨姆兰将军还下令调整路边检查站的运作方式。他指示警方暂停在酷热天气不适宜运作的检查站。此外，每个检查站都必须有明确的运作目的和一名可识别的负责人。

警长还指示警员在与驾车者打交道时要表现出诚意。他的指示强调更多地提供帮助和警告，而不是自动处以罚款。

10月17日，警方发言人再次强调了这项政策。八天后，国家警察领导层发布了正式的书面指令。随后，这些指令传达至各都会区和省级警察指挥系统。各单位指挥官奉命监督制服规定和新的路边执法程序的执行情况。

摩托车护送人员仍可豁免佩戴口罩，警方对轻微交通违章行为实行警告制度

口罩佩戴限制规定对特殊警务行动有所豁免。参与皇家交通警察计划的警员在必要时可继续佩戴防护装备。同样，执行公务护送任务的警员也可出于行动安全考虑佩戴口罩。

这些警员有时骑摩托车高速行驶，尤其是在高速公路上。警方解释说，高速行驶时强劲的风压会造成安全隐患。

因此，在执行特定摩托车执勤任务时，仍允许佩戴防护面罩。但这项豁免通常不适用于执行普通路边交通执法的警员。

执法人员在拦截车辆、检查违章行为或开具罚单时，必须保持身份识别。即使允许佩戴医用口罩，在执法过程中也必须摘下。太阳镜也必须暂时摘下，以便驾驶员能够清楚地识别执法人员。

与此同时，这项全国性指令对轻微交通违章行为采取了先警告后处罚的方式。执法人员已被告知在处以罚款前应酌情处理。对于初犯，如果情况允许，通常应给予警告。

警方还必须解释相关的交通法规，而不是随意开罚单。因此，相关指示区分了轻微违章和危险驾驶等违法行为。

交警部门奉命在开罚单前查阅之前的警告记录，因为危险驾驶仍然是例外情况。

泰国皇家警察在开具罚单前新增了一项要求。警员必须查阅警方罚单管理系统（PTM）。该系统允许警方查看驾驶员之前的警告记录。

因此，执法人员可以查明驾驶员是否曾因违反交通规则而收到警告。在决定是否处以罚款时，必须考虑这一信息。

对于屡犯者，该指令规定了逐步加重的处罚。警方将这种方法称为分级罚款。罚款金额应反映违法行为的性质和情节。此外，执法人员还必须考虑之前的警告以及违规行为的严重程度。该指令要求采取适当的应对措施，而不是对每一项轻微违规行为都自动处以罚款。

先警告后处罚的做法并不意味着警方丧失开具交通罚单的权力。在情况需要执法时，警员仍然可以处以罚款。但是，对于轻微的初犯，通常应通过警告和解释来处理。根据分级处罚制度，屡犯者可能会面临更严厉的处罚。严重违法行为仍将受到直接执法。

值得注意的是，有四类危险驾驶行为被明确排除在“先警告后处罚”政策之外。逆向行驶和闯红灯仍将立即受到处罚。

酒后驾驶和在公共道路上飙车也不在处罚范围之内。警方认定这些行为可能导致严重的交通事故。因此，对于违反这些规定的驾驶员，警方无需事先发出警告即可采取行动。

禁止路边索要罚款，执法人员必须向驾驶员解释其权利和合法的罚款程序。

另一方面，该指令对路边交通罚款的收取做出了明确的限制。执法人员不得强迫驾驶员在检查站立即缴纳罚款。

他们不得威胁司机或强加要求当场缴纳罚款的条件。相反，执法人员必须解释缴纳罚款的合法程序，包括可用的授权渠道。

驾驶员必须了解自身权利和适用的缴款期限。此外，执法人员必须解释处理合法交通罚单的正确程序。相关规定明确禁止警察索取或接受金钱或其他非法利益。这些限制与有关身份识别、检查站监管和罚款开具的要求一并适用。

支付条款并不妨碍执法人员开具合法罚单。但是，不能强迫司机立即在路边达成和解。警方必须提供正确的法律信息并遵循既定程序。同样，执法人员不得在合法执法程序之外索要金钱或其他利益。这些限制是10月25日发布的全国性指令的核心内容。

在最初禁止“忍者警察”八年后，警方指挥官面临新的监管令。

警方指挥官已被命令监督新规的执行情况。该指令将责任落实到全国警察系统各单位指挥官身上。他们必须确保警员在执行日常执法任务时穿着规定的制服并保持身份识别。此外，指挥官还必须监督“先警告后缴费”政策、阶梯式罚款制度以及对路边缴费的限制。

这项最新命令源于此前泰国警察蒙面执法引发的争议。2018年8月，警方发布指令，禁止巡逻和交通执勤的警员佩戴巴拉克拉瓦帽。警员被要求在行使警权时停止遮盖面部。当时，一些佩戴巴拉克拉瓦帽的警员被形容为“忍者警察”。

此前的限制旨在确保警员在与公众接触时保持身份可辨识。然而，同样的规定如今再次成为全国性指令的主题。八年后，警方领导层恢复了要求警员摘下口罩的规定。十月份发布的指令重申了这一限制，并增加了关于交通执法方面的详细规定。

最新的官方公​​告并未解释为何之前的限制措施未能杜绝这种做法，也没有提供数据说明有多少警员继续佩戴巴拉克拉法帽。公告中没有指明是哪个警队无视了之前的指令。此外，该指令也没有明确规定对继续隐瞒身份的警员应采取何种新的纪律处分。

继10月份的三项公告之后，国家警察领导层收紧了交通执法规则。

相反，泰国皇家警察已指示各级指挥官严格监督警员。该命令明确规定，警务管理层有责任确保各项要求得到落实。

这包括遵守统一的规章制度、检查站程序以及处理交通违章行为。指挥官还必须确保警员遵守有关非法路边付款的限制。

目前的措施远超以往对警员着装的限制。它们将身份识别要求与关于交通拦截、警告和罚款的详细规定相结合。警员必须保持身份可辨识，查阅以往的警告记录，并遵循分级处罚制度。同时，他们还必须向驾驶员解释其权利以及缴纳罚款的合法途径。

这一系列行动始于10月9日，当时萨姆兰将军宣布了关于警力部署和路边执法的指示。他的指示还涉及检查站的设置、极端高温天气以及对待驾车者的方式。

随后，警方发言人于10月17日重申了该政策。10月25日发布的书面指令则将相关要求传达至全国。

泰国皇家警察制定全国统一的身份识别规则，同时保留豁免条款和分级处罚措施。

泰国皇家警察表示，这些措施旨在提高透明度和公众信任度，并制定了日常交通执法通用程序。

警员必须正确穿着制服，保持身份识别清晰，并遵守既定规则。同时，各单位指挥官必须确保其下属人员服从国家警察领导层的指示。

根据该指令，普通交警不得用巴拉克拉法帽或其他类似面罩遮盖面部。出于环境保护目的，仍允许佩戴医用口罩和太阳镜，但在执法过程中需暂时摘下。专业摩托车护送人员在出于安全考虑必须佩戴防护装备时，可获得豁免。除此以外，交警在检查违章行为或开具罚单时必须露出面部。

对于轻微交通违章，相关规定要求在适当情况下先发出警告，再处以罚款。执法人员必须查阅违章者管理系统（PTM）以确认之前的警告记录。屡犯者可能面临分级处罚，具体视情况而定。相比之下，危险驾驶、闯红灯、酒后驾驶和街头赛车等违章行为则不适用先警告后罚款的规定。

路边缴费限制和全国范围的监管完善了新的交通警察指令。

对路边缴费的限制同样明确。执法人员不得强迫、威胁或施压驾驶员在检查站立即缴纳罚款。他们必须向驾驶员解释正确的法律程序、缴费期限和授权渠道。此外，严禁索要非法金钱或其他利益。

这项全国性命令涵盖曼谷和泰国九个府级警区以及其他相关机构。因此，该指令适用于全国所有交通执法部门。

警务指挥官必须监督身份识别规则的遵守情况以及有关警告、罚款和路边缴费的程序。

因此，泰国皇家警察恢复了2018年首次实施的限制措施，并发布了一项范围更广的执法指令。最新指令涵盖遮盖面部、检查站监管、交通违章处罚和非法索要钱财等内容。

执行日常交通执法的警员必须露面并遵守既定程序。他们的指挥官已接到命令，确保这些要求在泰国全国范围内得到执行。
