scorecard

All meaning that such subjects should be taught by visiting well trained teachers who teach the lesson then leave the school. In some states there's mixed classes (for this subject) then there's separated classes and most of the lesson is on video with the teacher answering very specific questions with facts but the teacher not allowed to give opinions. I'm vote my kids/grandkids being properly educated in these subjects. Thailand still has a big teen pregnancy problem, plenty of evidence that teenage kids involved are totally uninformed about where babies come from or have been told stupid mythical/totally wrong stories which leave them thinking that having sex on 'tuesdays' or somehting equally as dumb is where babies come from. Properly informed must be the way to do this. And yes that means well trained teachers with good videos and handouts, and special teacher leaves the school until next visit maybe 6 months/12months later. And 'normal' teachers not allowed in the room and not allowed to comment.

Both 45 and 47 are too short for jail numbers.

... or conman.

He's already mentioned his/family circumstances have changed and they need to move on. Maybe he/they have an even better opportunity to move to! If so, good luck to them. Who knows, and they don't need to explain.

Well that's a big assumption on your part and you're way off the truth.

Comments seem to show opposite views; left <> right .... right <> left, confusing.

Prefer a specific answer to my question.

Why do you mention left wing in this case?

Very true. It's also true the police were doing their job and the person involved not cooperating and has some history. The police cannot ignore the overstay, they were doing their job.

Was it ever published in the Royal Gazzette? Or was it another attempt by property developers? Is anybody surprised it got a very luke warm reception?

Maybe he's from the 'nobody tells me what to do' group.

"This happened in Thailand." ...where overstay is serious, there's been many thousands of cases in Thailand where foreigners have been searched out / or picked up through other circumstances and it's taken seriously. They pretty much all get fined (not cheap) and go into immigration detention and quickly deported. Most cannot return to Thailand for quite a few years up to cannot return for decades. As said 'in Thailand overstay is serious'. The government keeps control, in terms of foreigners being in Thailand with appropriate permission to be in Thailand.

Probably same as in most countries, the press hang out around police stations / police haunts etc., and tag alon when there's something that might provide good photos, copy etc.

Where is/was the 35 year old German Wife? and can she speak Thai or English? Bottom line: Would she be able to help him?

... and their main focus... 'don't touch my beer and keep it coming'. ... went to an expat bar a couple of time near my hotel in Vung Tau VN. Same as Thailand, 99% of the foreigners are oil rig workers, been dead drunk for days, still drinking, rough as guts, I wouldn't want any one of them to enter my house. Girls coming continuously to the bar, cuddling up and lots of I love you mister. Several times I heard 'do I know you'. Twenty minutes later girl leaves the bar with enough cash to buy 3 BMWs. Same, same...

Maybe he follows US politics, and speciically the boebert lady and MTG?

Yawn. Can you read the comments.

So what should the police / immigration officers do if he's not cooperating, just walk away? Overstay is a serious problem in any country. Go over in Australia and the search to find you starts immediately and is very serious and they find 99% of overstayers very quickly. There's no 'if it's not convenient now, when should we come back?'

6 to 12 weeks? Mine didn't, in my letter box in CM within 5 working days. I discovered they are transported in bulk on a very fast courier to Bkk then very promptly lodged for EMS domestic delivery.

Need to also do something structured re land travel to/from the airport and Pattaya. Three years back I flew CM to Utapao. We departed CM very early so had to wait quite a while for my son to come and pick me up. During the 30 minutes I sat there continuous strong harrassment from local transport operators and other traders. Plus they had a rule if you step outside of the main building you cannot come back inside. Had to sit all the time in the very hot sun. Unpleasant, no need for such situation, can be different. Also how many times have they announced 'big expansion at Utapao' in the last 10 years?

Why would anybody propose him as a contendor for PM? He achieved nothing, rarely seen/rarely made comment in his time s RTP chief.

Thank you Dr. Sheryl.

Ours failed, son called the technician, he came said battery dead & he would go buy new battery and come back to fit it. Never returned about 5 years ago. Son waited 48 hrs and called another technician, he had spare new batteries in his kit, all fixed less than 5 minutes, very low cost.

But he possibly thinks you're ungrateful; he gave you lots of free music, your response was complaints and no gratitude.

Agreed.
