Sorry to be a pedant but a trial would only happen if he plead not guilty.

The table in post 59 shows the number of days prison time based on the number of times the offender has been caught.

That's detection times, I assume how long you can detect it in your system.  Nothing to do with prison unless I'm missing something.

So if it is bail it is refundable, right?

Koh Tao isn't expensive for a foreigner; hostels from 200 baht a night and rice dishes from 50 baht.

There is no court on Tao.  If you remember when the two British kids were murdered, their supposed murderers were tried in Samui.

As an aside Koh Tao seems pretty hot on drugs.  I was on the island way out near Mango Bay, the road is basically deserted, miles from Sairee beach and I was offered 'weed' by a random Thai guy.  The only other time I've been openly offered drugs in Thailand was at Railay in Krabi at a bar.  The people selling it really seem to have no worries that they might be caught, and you can probably assume from that they have some sort of protection and/or are in on it with the police.

Drugs checks on Tao are common as well, coming out of Sairee, also some of the quieter roads, I was with a Thai both times and they had no interest in searching the Thai; only searching me, the foreigner.  Always no interest in helmets or licenses, just drugs.

That's correct, I'm not playing pigeon chess tonight.

So I can assume from that reply that you now realise it isn't possible to track down a person on an entire island without knowing anything about them other than that they are foreign, and you're just not willing to admit you said something stupid.

Are you not going to answer my question about how it is possible to know who the person is just by the name of the island that they are on?

So, you want him to give you basic instruction in stalking - which digging for personal information would be - on a public forum?

How do you suppose you would stalk somebody when all you have to go on is the name of an island?  It's not even a bike shop, it's just a couple renting out their spare bike on the side?  So how many thousands of people are you going to have to stalk before you find the right one?  Some really bizarre responses on this thread...

Come on!

So can you answer the question?

We will then also work out his company and where he lives etc etc....... not good for anyone yet,..

How would we possibly do that?

I would advise against giving too much info about your location. This guy is clearly unpredictable/unstable and appears to have already made (veiled?) threats .

Not sure why the OP can't say which island they are on?  Unless you're suggesting the guy could be reading this in which case enough info has already been given for him to know this thread is about him.

Who should be paying for them, then?

10k to walk away and never rent from the guy again. I'd take it

People giving in to unreasonable demands is why these scams keep happening.

OP, which island are you on?

I'm also not a fan of the Red Cross place.  It is great for HIV but nothing else.  I get the general impression that if you go in there for anything other than HIV testing, they don't really want your business.  They don't have a doctor there all the time and anything other than the HIV tests requires a doctor - but they don't tell you there is no doctor there until after you've been sat queuing for 30 minutes.  I think 90+% of people go there for HIV tests, that's what it specialises in.  It's not meant to be used as a general STI place, although it can be, but there are better places for that.

Yes, well, baby steps.

You make it sound as if being respectful of societal norms is somehow wrong.  It's pretty darn easy to just do what one feels like doing.  But being respectful and considerate of others require a bit more social awareness and intelligence. 

It's not wrong, just a bit odd that we should all copy each other and chasten those who don't for being 'disrespectful'.  You've obviously bought into the idea of a traditional society being a good thing.  Maybe it is or maybe it isn't, but it's not the only way and the people who choose to think outside the box shouldn't be dismissed just because they are different.  Most of the worlds most prominent revolutionaries/progressives/inventors decided to do something that other people didn't do.  Where would we be without their logical thought processes?

So you're saying the 99.9999% of the world's population that wear clothes are just doing so because they're sheep and that there's no logical reason for wearing them?  Bizarre.

No I wasn't talking about wearing clothes.  But if I was I would just be talking about shirts, right?  Since that's what the thread is about.  Only logical reason for wearing a shirt is to protect from the sun really.  Since most people run in the evening or early morning, no need for a shirt.

A bit dangerous to label everybody who isn't a sheep a 'chav'.  If there's sound reasoning behind something that society does, then sure, copy it.  If there's not, then it's not being a chav to use the logical side of your brain.

Benchasiri park has both a gym area and a volleyball court. Walk around there virtually anytime of day when they are in use and you will see Thai men with their shirts off. 

Yes at this park it seems quite common at the gym area.  But only once or twice have I seen anybody jogging shirtless there.

I run marathons/half marathons etc and occasionally there'll be one guy out of a field of 1000 or so that takes their shirt off.  I can see the benefits... cooler, slightly less weight.

One large Chang is almost 3.5 units, so .three is over 10 units. Anyone who drinks in a bar regularly will know at least one person who does this at least five days a week, I know several. That is a lot of alcohol but it does not seem to cause any problems and I know they have been drinking like this for many years. Even when the Chang was 6.4 abv. My body could not cope with that level of drinking, but to them it is "normal".

Of course it will cause them problems, drinking excessively is something that catches up with you later in life.  Same as smoking.

She should have checked out the fines long ago before she overstayed.  Then at least she could have made a decision re whether it was financially viable for her to stay there.

Getting a boat to another country is 007 sort of talk and would it help her case anyway?  Then she'd be looking at charges of illegal entry wherever she ended up and I doubt they'd be any more lenient?  Nearest country is Japan.  Are there any boats running between the two?  If there are they're likely to be official ferries, not fishing boats or whatever, so how is she going to get through immigration onto the boat?  A mask and snorkel and suction cups to climb up the hull?

She's going to have to find the money or check out how long she'd have to spend in detention if she didn't pay.  Then weigh up which option is easier/better for her.
