Was he so dumb or a fortune teller told him that today is his lucky day to not worry about X ray scan?
Send him to Zoo...he is such a specimen.
Possibly to be fair to him he is so used to putting live ducks, chickens and geese into the overhead locker on his previous internal Indian flights he never gave much thought to what he shouldn't do here ????

1 minute ago, Silencer said:Many illegal charters work from US coastal tourist cities. Tourists are warned to avoid them and what to verify before signing up. Passengers can be fined for violations but almost always its the boat Captain and owner that take the hit. We know things work a bit differently here. However, the focus in the US is always on those illegal charters and the laws and fines are most severe (brutal in fact, amounting to millions of baht in most cases) and directed at the boat owner/operator. They would be the story, not anyone onboard. I'm not giving this guy a pass, he screwed up and was stupid posting about it (which led to all his trouble) and deserves a fine/deportation, but as usual, its the foreigner that is the main story, not that spear guns are available for rent and boats available to take you to a marine park to fish. That is the main problem IF protecting marine wildlife is really what is desired.
This is not the US, it is Thailand so yarns from other countries are neither here or there. It is about illegal fishing in a Thai national park.

Good shot by one of the RTP anyway. Best way for any drug dealer to be dealt with in my opinion

So if the parrot fish Tik Twater gets 5 years? how much this M. <deleted>!??
Well the tik tocker has not got 5 years, or even sentenced yet. And I guess as the Indian didn't kill anything, unlike the tik tocker, it could well be a substantial fine, deported and black listed perhaps. We shall just have to wait and see.

Guess logic suggests the latter but what would prompt it is if a coalition of PT and Move forward resulted in some of the policies of the latter being enacted, or at least proposed. That really may upset certain people and hence the thugs will be let loose against civilians again.

Interesting. I know many with a master's degree and never heard of them offering services...
Woody Allen's "The Whore of Mensa" maybe worth a read.
You possibly wouldn't because what they could charge indicates that their customers are way above your league maybe so you would be of no interest to them..????

It seems to me from reading these threads that they find out you are breaking the rules either by somebody informing on you, or yourself telling them, and hardly ever from them investigating you as a routine check by looking at your bank details or travel history. It is also apparent that when they do find out they can impose a fine and make you pay back over payment, that's clear from the letters posted.
That would seem to sum it up exactly. However it would also appear to be the case that the £ 50 penalty was simply imposed because @Pumpuynarak knowingly filled the form in wrongly by his own admission and hence seems to be more of a fine for doing so. Hence of course he had to pay back that monies to which he was not entitled. If he had actually been in the UK when he completed that form then no fine could have been levied and if he had left the UK sometime after then they, either be by somebody informing, or yourself telling them, and hardly ever from them investigating you as a routine check for which it was noted by others elsewhere, there is no documented evidence supporting that theory.
If anybody wishes to check exactly what information the DWP holds on you then you can make a request to;
other useful info

Just now, Pumpuynarak said:I informed them by letter that i was resident in Thailand but i did'nt do this until some time later after completing the online claim for the state pension. I elected to do the claim online using my UK address as it was much easier than completing the forms and posting them back to the UK.
It was never my intention to claim the increases i was not entitled to as i was living in Thailand and knew the rules but i was somewhat dilatory in informing them.
My eventual honesty came back to haunt me as the DWP then seized upon the opportunity to treat me as the UK's worst criminal lol
The money i had received illegally was no big deal to repay it was peanuts but i was somewhat surprised to be sanctioned with a 50GBP penalty for my honesty.
So it's good to note your honesty but to clarify and to put all that other misleading garbage written by others to bed, It was not that the DWP did any research etc etc to discover that you were not resident in the UK , as some on here misleadingly claim, but rather, only due to your honesty as you informed them that you were UK non resident.

The letter is not required if:
The new passport contains the replacement information.
The new passport is issued outside Thailand and is used to enter Thailand and the entry stamp is in the new passport.
This question specifically relates to not needing a letter from the embassy, whatever that is. So assuming one leaves on the old passport which contains an extension of stay valid say until 3 months time. Renew passport in the UK and return to Thailand, how will that new passport get the entry stamp as it has been said elsewhere that you will not receive a VE stamp (new passport has not got extension of stay in it) if you still have a valid extension of stay, in the old passport ( assuming of course you got the re-entry permit). Or will immigration look at the old passport and see you have an extension so automatically put the entry stamp in your new passport ? Seems a bit unclear to me what they will do, perhaps @ubonjoe could clarify this please

Well if it is the same number simply block it. If it is different numbers but same subject etc undoubtably it is a scam. You can keep blocking them, but their auto dialing facility will probably last longer than your patience.

It will unfortunately be like 2010, and 2014, all over again. I am sure the major areas in BKK will see the sand bagged checkpoints set-up and the State of Emergency kept in place to deter political unrest and return happiness to the people.
Well you may have a point although I fear this time it will not just be BKK nor will it be the same numbers of people involved. In 2010 it was the "Red shirts" whose numbers were only into thousands. Since then, due to the ultra corrupt policies of a junta leader/PM, he has successfully brought almost destitution to around 70% of the population. Poverty has grown significantly as statistics show. So tell me exactly what has around 70% of the population now got to lose further by demonstrating and taking action for major change, when this utter corruption has already deprived so many of a meaningful lifestyle ?

Just now, darksidedog said:Interesting that we are still in a state of emergency over Covid, which has prevented many a political protest from taking place, yet now, in the name of money, the doctors warnings will be ignored to get that cash rolling in. Be tough to see how they can allow and encourage teeming night life without declaring an end to the state of emergency though, and I suspect when they do, we will see millions of Thais on the streets, and I am not sure how good that will be for tourism.
Yes I guess TAT will have their work cut out to generate more or even maintain the current level of tourism if massive protests break out as no doubt the puppeteer will order his assassins to live fire into the crowd. That may be a pre-curser to major national disruption and change perhaps, but prior to that will those high spending, high end tourists really want to visit Thailand when their lives could be endangered by the marauding "special ones" with their Stryker vehicles whilst going to queue outside the Louis Vuitton store to snap up that 120,000 baht ghastly looking handbag ?

1 minute ago, Gecko123 said:You would think that someone who describes himself as a "professional spear fisherman" would have a greater awareness of what species and areas were off-limits, but I agree the boat owner/guide ought to bear some responsibility as well.
My only advice to this guy at this point is to lose the tank top, shorts, and sandals, and to take off his headgear indoors when interacting with the police, the courts, or the media. He may also want to pay more attention to his sitting posture and avoid fiddling with a smart phone in the presence of authorities.
As justifiably proud as he may be of his physique, his wardrobe and posture are conveying a level of machoism that is working against efforts he has made to express contrition about what he has done. Instead his wardrobe and posture are conveying a lack of awareness about the seriousness of the laws he has broken, and is probably helping fuel public perceptions that punishment is warranted.
Exactly, poseurs like this who commit a crime against a protected specie should most definitely be made an example of. I'm sure even 7 days in a Thai prison for his crimes will sort him out and guess after that he won't be arsed to try illegal fishing again

Dutch tourist arrested and facing jail time after killing endangered fish on an island excursion
in Thailand News
Posted
This thread is not about any type of comparisons. It is about someone killing a protected animal in a Thai national park. Perhaps you should start a separate thread on "Endangered species, their protection and penalties from around the world". if you wish to contribute relevant info on that specific subject matter.
