Yes it does have to Bangkok, it can take several weeks.

So was the Judge paid off?

Good question. It seems that whenever anything happens, especially something involving a foreigner the press are there? If you dont want the press, the police can be paid off so as not to invite them!

Wouldn't this be called Vehicular Manslaughter? Should get jail time and banned for life, but in Thailand he has money and influence, so we'll let him off? Thailand Justice system SUCKS!

Immigration may well ask what were you doing in Thailand for so long, where did you get your funds. May depend on your age, if you are under 50 say?

And I used to collect stamps!????

Isn't that just the Chinese?????

Maybe?????

If "foreigners" weren't in the post it wouldn't be newsworthy?

Right, how many tourists who go to Thailand for a good time carry their passports with them all the time? It would be the last thing on their mind. The cops dont even have a remote fingerprint scanner with them, which would help with this problem? Maybe they are just after money?????

Love the sarcasm.????

Quite so, over the past week there must have been half a dozen reports about Chinese criminals.

Slow day at the office, obviously?

Yes, maybe a Trichologist could help?

I am pretty sure there are reports, maybe in local TV etc, but they dont want to advertise it, they only want to advertise how bad the dirty foreigners are?????

Totally agree, but he is not a foreigner?

Its not just one country!

Both the UK and USA have a completely porous Southern border?????

You would think so, they take your pic every time you enter and leave the country.

Its fair enough they give you 24 hrs to produce your passport. Most tourists going out would only have their passport as ID, not a local DL or ID card. As many have commented taking your original passport out with you if you were going out for a night drinking is a crazy thing to do. If the police raid a venue looking for over-stayers surely they would have a portable fingerprint scanner to check people IDs as other countries have. Having said that if you carry a picture of your passport and visa,on your phone that should suffice.?

Certainly possible knowing Thailand, they started in Feb 2018 , but were supposed to finished in 6 months, I haven't seen any update.

Thailand seems to attract a lot of criminals, like this guy, I wonder why?

It was supposed to happen in 2018, when they started putting in those fingerprint scanners. Now whether is has been done, is anyone's guess

Right, understood, but surely if they are looking for over stayers they would have immigration cops that do have access, they must be able access it remotely. Checking ID by looking at passports is just a lot easier.

Right On! Otherwise why have immigration officers?
