Sir Lanka has the same problem but not for long, they are cancelling Ruskies visas giving them 2 weeks to leave, there was reported 300000 effected dodgers.
One step ahead of the Thais.
Hardly major crimes arrest's, and one being on the run for half a decade err is that not 5 years.
May be Thailand should take a lead from Sri Lanka who are deporting 300 000 Ruskies as they had enough of there hospitality being abused by opening illegal business and racist attitudes to the locals.
They nearly did, had ticket's in 2003ish, cancelled due to technical problems on second aircraft from a gig in India, Mick was in the first.
Off to BKK next day for refunds.
I blame Dunkin Doughnuts, every time I buy 2 they ask if I want 3 and they will give me 6 for the same price, always decline the offer.
Just sell them cheaper.
Plenty of Thais seem to accept this deal.
Yes, even so it's still an alleged crime, until/if he has been found guilty he's photos and name should not have been published.
Seems guilty to found innocent prevails.
