OP:

 

Are you living in the family homestead which your girlfriend along with every other member of her immediate family has an unstated right to stay at whenever the need arises? My experience is that that right is pretty much inalienable. Adult relatives return to the family homestead after divorces, between employments, to recuperate from accidents and injuries, basically whenever they have no place better to go, and no one has the power to deny them this right.

 

If this is the case, just move out, and rent an apartment somewhere, maybe well away from Sisaket. The welfare of your family should be your highest priority, and letting someone who is smoking yaa baa stay in the house is obviously not a healthy situation. Moving in there just to save a few bucks on rent was probably kind of a retarded move in the first place. 

I didn't move in to save a few bucks ...Im  here because I actually want to be with my new born and my GF.  I just can't get my head around this p**ck stealing from someone who has been more than good to him and all his family.  And for them to do nothing apart from talk to him and him to do the same again is frustrating to say the least ... 

Just throwing this out for some different opinions as I'm not 100% familiar with "The thai way " of problem solving .

My TGF of 4 years has recently (3 months ) had her 21 yr old nephew move in with us as he packed in work in Bangkok to come back to sisaket . 

At first I didn't mind as I thought this would be only for a while til he found work and moved out. I come from the UK to LOS for 3-6 months of the year so I don't see everything that goes on here . 

It's her family home and so I don't interfere on most things .. 

She has an eight yr old son from a previous relationship and a recently new born son to me . 

Recently she has asked me did I take any money from her purse (500b ) which I replied no ... she had observed this in her purse the night before and was 100% it was there before we slept . Money Gone next morning and the only one in the house apart from is is her nephew . 1 week later I leave my wallet on the kitchen table with 3000b and next morning I'm missing 1000b . Same again the nephew is the only one in the house .

He sleeps all day and eats when we sleep at night . He drinks my beer and smokes my cigarettes without asking . I've tried talking with my GF and she's really upset but says she can do nothing as nobody has seen him take anything .

I know he smokes ja ba and cannabis .. this explains his sleeping pattern and un willingness to speak or acknowledge me in the house ... this along with the money going missing makes me feel so uncomfortable and now has caused problems with my GF And myself . 

I said to my GF he needs to go before as I feel this is not normal for a 21 yr old to be staying rent free food free All Free with his aunt . She has many family living nearby but he prefers staying with us ( surprise surprise). His father and mother have left him years ago and haven't kept in regular contact with the rest of the family , apparently the split years ago and left him to fend for himself . My GF has asked him to go to work in Bangkok on numerous occasions to no avail . I have been more than generous to him but he doesn't give me the time of day and comes and goes in the middle of the night . I understand my GF does not want to lose face with her family by throwing him out but this has got to stop ...and the only way I see it stopping is if he goes or I go .  ... Any thoughts from the more experienced expats would be appreciated .

I think your better being safe than sorry and get a replacement British with more pages .IMO I  Can't see them being able to check your retirement visa validity on your British and transfer it to your Irish even though u have dual citizenship ,

A friend tried exiting on a British PP  to Cambodia and entering on an Irish because his British was packed with stamps and was refused entry but this was a 30 day free visa.  

Maybe someone here was in the same situation and can give better advise but personally I wouldn't take the chance . 

Good luck

so if you arent sure why posting " answers " ???????

 

I posted a extract from a legal website claiming they knew about the current rules and regulations . The op  has the option of taking the advise and asking where it came from or disregarding . And it wasnt an "Answer " it was friendly advise , There's no big deal , other people are too quick to jump and get their knickers in a twist at every oportunity here .

If you are a cut and paste merchant, it's good practice to say where you obtained your information from:

 

http://www.thaiembassy.com/thailand/overstay-visa-thailand.php

Yes I was that" cut and paste merchant " just trying to help . People don't have to take all advise here as gospel , it's always a good idea to look elsewhere 

Sanctions

It is illegal to overstay your visa as it is a violation of immigration rules. Needless to say, you are also breaking the thai law. Overstaying is sanctioned under thai immigration procedures. Even if you overstay for just one day, legal actions could be taken up against your person. Usually though when you overstay for one day, it doesn’t carry a fine with it. The fine of 500 baht per day of overstay only begins after the second day, so if your stay expired on the 15th of March and you only reported to the immigration by the 20th, your fine will only be 4 days of overstay or 2,000 baht.

However, just avoid getting yourself caught by the immigration police at all means. If by any reason they will stop you in a random check-up on your way to the airport, they will imprison you regardless of the length of time you overstayed, even if it’s just one day! You’ll be confined in a jail until you can secure your flight outside Thailand or you can provide the money in payment for the fine. It remains a question though about you fixing things up when you’re actually inside the jail, in that case just keep hoping that some friend or lawyer might assist you through the ordeal. Amnesty International observed that thai jails are “cruel and degrading”, so as much as you can do not attempt to overstay in the first place.

Looks like you will be held in custody until all monies and exit flight is paid.

Yes you are correct on both and thanks for the advise , cheers

Does anyone think this would be the same if flying into myanmar? I've booked a (token) flight to myanmar (from bkk)  to show customs I'm not planing overstaying in thailand this September on a 30 day free visa ,,, would I be required to show a visa for myanmar at bkk customs or would they be happy enough with the outward flight , any suggestions appreciated in advance 

I think it's basically pot luck who u get on the day and what mood they're in .... I have always travelled one way without buying a visa .... but now I ask myself is it really worth pushing my luck ....so I bought a cheap ticket £20....IMO it's crazy but so are a lot of the rules and regulations in Thailand

Thanks for the advice .. I've bought a cheap ticket to myanmar to be on the safe side

Cheers ...

If planning on booking a 1 way ticket the airline will not allow you to board the plane without a return flight to any country in the world.

I'm planning on travelling this September on a 1 way ticket ... do you think I would have a problem ??

I've done this 2 or 3 times before without any problem .. just wondering has any laws changed in this area ?
