If there were charges against a foreigner of stealing a car then why wasnt it posted here
1. They don't shackle people in the police cells only for transfer to the courts.
2. Water is freely available.
3. Stealing a car usually is a 5 year prison sentence.
4. Police cells don't flood and the police would not attack him unless provoked. They would then get other prisoners to do the job for them
5 it does not cost £5000 for a return ticket and a one way ticket to the UK. It could be closer to £2000.
I think the guy is a liar and loser.
The money he has paid out would be in compensation to the car owner, and money to get the charges dropped.

I can tell you i have seen the holding cells over there,nothing degrading or in humane there.
Very basic but it is not a hotel.
The story about flooding and having to drink his own urine imo is totally bs.
Maybe all in his head because according to his own words he was hallucinating and had no idea what was going on?
Holding cells are not prison cells.
It's a total pack of lies and his mother has gone for it hook, line and sinker.
Bloody cheeky trying to ' recoup ' losses by asking a GoFundMe.
He deserves nothing, except to grow a pair, instead of Mummy and Daddy.

Very possibly that was compensation for the car he allegedly damaged
Yeah,
Well we know, don't we?
Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story, as it will spoil it.

Some sentence is better than nothing I suppose...though I wonder if the owner will be out in less.
Yes,
He'll get good behaviour reductions and substantial reductions on such celebrations like the King's birthday etc, as it was a non-violent crime, as in not a murder etc, and the case is not related to drugs.
He'll probably also qualify for home detention and ankle tag at a later date, not too far in the future.

Muslims aready have their own Sharia courts. This nonsense must stop.
These shariah courts should be shut and outlawed.
We cannot pander to Muslims and allow them to operate a dual legal system to suit them.
Would they allow us to do it in any Muslim country?

Totally unnecessary, we already have the laws in place and do not need a special one for Muslims.
Strange how she never focuses on anti-semitism given it's meteroric rise in the UK. Oh actually, she's Labour so that isn't strange at all.
Absolutely right.
You only need to go to a Labour conference or gathering and see the Palestinian flags getting waved.
Do the Muslims want to give special status to gays? Not on your life!
A despicable religion which only goes in one direction - Theirs!

I used "stamp transfer" as descriptive term.
When he attends immigration for "stamp transfer" the first thing that is entered in new pp is a stamp that the officer fills in.
The replaced passport # , type of visa etc.
After that is done i can't see requirement to carry both passports.
Just the new one and print out of e-Visa should be sufficient.
Perhaps someone that has obtained new pp and has a DTV can post first hand experience.
OP, you may find this thread useful.
https://aseannow.com/topic/1335168-what-happens-when-i-renew-my-passport-before-my-dtv-expires/
I fully understand your point now.
Thanks.

There is, if you follow that suggestion and obtain a new passport while in Thailand. In that scenario, (at least) the entry stamp is always transferred from the old passport to the new passport.
I carry two UK passports.
They transferred my retirement extensions from one passport to the new one, very easily at Kalasin immigration.
I will have the same issue in a couple or three years, when my passport for the 5-year visa will expire, and I want to move passports same as the OP.
It all makes perfect sense what both you and Dr Jack are saying, what I mean is I hope the Immigration see it the same way.
We know they are a law unto themselves, as even different offices interpret the rules and regulations as they wish.

Transferring the entry stamp from the old to the new passport is done at an immigration office inside Thailand, right?
Yes,
It's a very simple process.

There will never be a 5-year DTV visa stamp in any shape or form, as it's an eVisa.
What an entry stamp transfer as suggested by @DrJack54 accomplishes is that (1) the old and the new passport are linked in immigration's system and (2) a stamp referencing your old passport number is put into your new passport. That should make using the eVisa (which has the old passport number printed on it) with the new passport hassle-free.
I think that's preferable to the OP's plan, although it should work as well.
Well,
it sounds like a good idea.
Let's hope immigration have a common sense approach, and it's as simple as you say above.

Yes.
It would work on your passport but we are talking about the DTV VISA side of things
Because as yet there isn't a 5 year DTV VISA stamp

What you outline should be fine however is there an urgency in obtaining a new pp?
True that immigration will see that current pp has pp # that matches the e-Visa print out.
Given a choice, I would enter on existing pp and obtain new pp in Thailand and then at some point attend immigration for stamp transfer. The reference to pp replaced (number etc) will be entered into new pp.
There isn't a stamp transfer per se.
You show the piece of A4 which contains your photo and passport number, and they stamp you in for 180 days.
There isn't a 5-year visa stamp entered into your passport.
He needs to carry two passports for a while and check with immigration if they will move it over in the computer, or else he must continue carrying the new and the expired passport for which the DTV visa applies.
Ideally, there should be a 5-year visa inserted into the passport as a stamp which can be transferred.

My family have just gone back after a chilled out trip up in Isaarn.
I took them a 2 1/2-hour drive from my home, and we stayed overnight in Nakhon Phanom.
It was a good trip, and I am pleased that we went.
We visited the Mekong underwater world, which focusses on the marine life which inhabits the Mekong, featuring all types of freshwater fish, including endangered species.
500 metres away was a Royal project showing the history of the Chakri dynasty and the history of the tribes and cultures of Isaarn, which was also a good experience.
An interesting day out.
In the evening we went to one of the best walking streets I have ever been to in Thailand, a real walking street.
On show were fire-eaters, live street musicians, many various food outlets, Vietnamese food sellers and breads etc, restaurants, a craft beer pub, a good night out, and a huge walking street.
We stayed at probably the best hotel there, and it was very reasonable, see link below.
After this we visited various sites in Isaarn, Kalasin dinosaur museum, Mukdahan and the friendship bridge, etc It was a chilled, inexpensive and friendly trip.
Next, we went in my car via the Chong Chom border to Siem Reap.
I parked in the military car park at Chong Chom, and then we had a large, comfortable private van to collect us after they had obtained visas for Cambodia. The van was $80 each way for four of us.
They scammed my family (slightly) as they didn't have USD and had to pay 1400 THB for the visa. The USD rate is $30 (1200 THB) I believe.
We stayed at Koulen central hotel, see link below. This hotel has a swimming pool on the roof, a kid's pool and another small pool, three in total. It features a great Gym, sauna and steam room, plunge pools, spotlessly clean and large rooms.
There wasn't much to do except enjoy the town, as we have seen all there is to see on multiple occasions down there.
I stocked up on good value cheeses, wines and whisky which you pay a great deal less than Thailand, for a lot more.
Siem Reap had the vibe and was buzzing, but tourists were thin on the ground and the locals and tuk tuk drivers told me business was tough at the moment.

The problem with Angkor Wat is that once you've been there, there is no reason to ever go back. Cambodia would be better off focusing on improving access to their beach destinations which could attract repeat visitors.
Their main beach destination has been Sihanoukville which was overrun b y Chinese Mafia and is now a slum with multi unfinished building projects. The resort is a complete mess.
Yes, once you've done Angkor Wat, that is it. I often go as I like the town, and it's a break from Thailand.
There are, of course, Koh Rong, Kampot and Kep, but Cambodia doesn't offer enough to hold tourists for long stays.
There are long stay foreigners who can't afford Thailand with the costs required for retirement extensions etc down there,

Hun Sen certainly seems to have gone all in with the Chinese...
I am fairly confident they won't screw it up like Sihanoukeville.
Sihanoukville is ruined for the foreseeable future as a result of allowing the Chinese unfettered access.

Maybe Cambodia should start avoiding charging people heavy fees in US$ and should allow land ownership to foreigners.
What heavy fees??
Land ownership seems to be a bug bear for foreigners in all SE Asia.

I just come back and know a lot of people down there.
I was unaware of the luggage checks as we drove to the border, then took a taxi from Chong Chom / O Smach.
My hotel was busy, but the town itself was not.
I stayed at Koulen Central hotel
The tuk tuk drivers told me trade was abysmal.

British Tourist's Thai Jail Ordeal: Forced to Drink Urine for Survival
in Hua Hin and Cha-Am News
Posted
Don't believe all you read and these feckless idiots are visited often by Embassy represtatives or volunteers.
The police know this and are very careful.
Foreigners get taken care of better than Thais .
He is making it up to garner sympathy for his Go fund me cause.
The Thai police and prison holding cells are a damn sight better than they were 25 years ago, and treatment of prisoners has come a long way to the benefit of those incarcerated.
I know, I have been there.
He is lying.
