how in the world would this work?  Somebody, tourist or expat have their own Iphone or other device some of which have SIMs and data plans, etc. that you can't just swap out.  Anybody have any experience with what they keep allegedly saying Malaysia has done?

Hobbles and then lock them up in concentration (Tourist sanktuaries) Camps.

Why don't they get the Thai school kids and therefore the next beach generation out there and make them clean THEIR beaches. I observed this procedere while being in Greece. School kids cleaned beaches and access roads before the tourist season started. I thought it was a smart idea and a lesson to be learned.

Education does not seem to be equally spread among and throughout readers.

THB 10.500 was the total fine.....for three "students".

Where those girls blond ? Ignorant...or just stupid? Then they should not have left their country and travel.

and here is the calculation:

7 days VISA overstay fine is THB 500/day equals THB 3.500.- per person

3 person x 3.500 equals THB 10.500.- total

Got it ???

Of course Surat Thani airport (they service Malaysia) has got an immigration office with well trained immigration officers.

Do not try to take advantage of any thing, nor the Thai hospitality.

And those three "students" did....by ignoring the law.

What would have happened in Ireland with a FARANG performing the same violation....

SAME SAME...but different ??? Travel there and find out..
