The Royal Gazette has published a full list of traffic fines:

A complete list of fines issued by the Royal Thai Police for violations of the Land Traffic Act of 1979 was published in the Royal Gazette yesterday.
The fines are in the amounts of 200, 400, 500 and 1,000 baht and cover all vehicle types.
Violations include failure to comply with the law regarding vehicle condition, use of headlights and horns, compliance with traffic signs and signals, speed limits and other rules.
Vehicles subjected to the heaviest fines of 1,000 baht are those emitting excessive noise and fumes, and vehicles loaded with explosives or hazardous objects but failing to display warning signs.

Taxi drivers failing to take passengers by the quickest route to a destination, or failing to take them all the way, will also face 1,000-baht fines.
The fines for other traffic offences include:
– Driving without a driving licence or unable to show one when asked (200 baht)
– Reckless driving or obstructing traffic (400 baht)
