A foreigner can own a barbershop but cannot act as a barber.  

Especially so if he's cutting Coke and not hair.

They were both. 

No, they did not work at that establishment.

There is a big difference where there is conflict between customers and staff where staff asked someone to be quiet and conflict between two sets of customers where one group told another group to be quiet.

I'm not taking sides on this.

They were customers, not waitresses.

That being the case all the authorities have to do present their evidence, 'in camera' if necessary, and job done.

A letter from a Doctor should be all that is required if needed.

Shameful the way the vultures are hounding this poor man. He has dragged himself from his sick bed to work tirelessly for the good of the nation.

Quite a lot. You're in Thailand, so you should greet people in Thai, not some Chinese, Korean or Japanese. Your work colleagues probably think you're a bit of a dick behind your back.

 

Imagine if you greeted your British work colleagues with "Guten Tag", that would get you fired in some City offices.

 

it's not about "heritage issues", it's about respecting the country you live in.

Thai's have no problem being greeted with 'Hello'. In fact Thai's always answer their phone with 'Hello' and not in Thai.

Seems to me that the agrieved person is just another member of the "Forever Offended" group

??? I have never had anyone pack a case for me or know anyone that has had someone pack one for them . Why 🧐 

Why was he also uncooperative when contacted ?

If going from Udon to BKK, then that might suggest he lives up country. This may also suggest that he has a Thai wife or Gf, who may have packed his suitcase.

I just filled it within 10 minutes. Really easy.

Are you the original Hungarian Hobbit or just a copy?

I hope you don't end up in a long Q at immigration, "Waiting for the wonder"

Cannon fodder to work in areas that Israelis will not.

"The secluded, unlit location made it a hotspot for unlawful dumping."

Yep, it's the Darkside. I thought so

Sounds a little harsh for a few days overstay. Maybe the old squeeze has contacts in the BIB and contrived to do him in.

His Thai adventure began with hope and ambition in April of the previous year, as he planned to settle and start a business. However, his dreams crumbled in November"

Maybe an overstay of 18/19 months if his adventure started early in the previous year.

I suspect that his diving quals may have been exaggerated by a bit.  If he was already a certified Master Diver (50 dives), I don't know of any additional diving quals that someone could get so quickly, let alone 2.   As a certified Master Diver, the next step would have been pursuing his DiveMaster cert, which would have required at least 10 more dives and a lot of time & training.

I think he very likely rushed his ocean dives before he was ready and got himself killed, perhaps even a heart attack.

Maybe he had already gained his Experience in Ireland and did the tests in Thailand. Probably cheaper. You suggest he may have rushed his Ocean dives before he was ready. The Article advises that he was from Quilty which is on the West coast of Ireland. He would have lived 1 to 10 mins walk from the Atlantic ocean. All of his diving would have been in the Ocean.

Suspicious bank details aroused suspicion!

A "Foreign Leader" looking for donations did not.

Always follow the money. My guess is that this group represent employers who do not want to pay the same mimimum wage to these currently illegal workers, that they need to pay to Thai citizens.

I am disappointed in humanity sometimes.

 

How do you get to Thailand?  Walk, Swim ?

The big question (amongst many) is why could the doors not be opened ?

I think emergency exits on busses open from the inside, not the outside.

It will be interesting to find out if the teachers on the inside were unable to open them.

Is English the spoken language on domestic routes? 

 

I'd say there would be a lot of Thai language spoken on domestic routes by airports ground staff and air crew. 

 

Pilots and air traffic controllers would not be able to communicate effectively. 

 

Any time I have flown domestically I am always seated in the emergency row. When you read the card it says anyone in those seats need to be able to speak english. I have never been asked if I can speak english. They just assume I can.

this whole story is BS.

 

approx 150k thai are in SK illegally. this is why you are being treated in such a manner. customs are more than right to rigorously question these women. i am willing to bet they are ordered to scrutinize single thai women even more. they have every right to. don't like it. then don't come.

 

i don't believe for 1 minute that she is telling the whole story. customs asking those kinds of questions is illogical and irrelevant to the situation. i don't believe those were the questions asked of her either. a certain line of questioning may of led to similar questions like she is saying but i call BS. more than likely she was denied for a number of red flags. without all the information its all speculation on my behalf. but as a trained customs and immigration officer myself.... it doesn't add up.

 

a video would be great of these situations. the frustrations are coming from those who want to skirt the system. 

Immigration, not Customs.
