    But how do the cops find out which people are on overstay, surely they don't just stop random folks and check their passports? Do the check in staff have a hand in this?
  2. Smokey and the Bandit
    Yes, you are correct. normally 500 baht per day, overstay , up to a maximum of 20,000 baht? However it seems strange things happen at 'Phuket Airport' for some reason?

    He may have mental health issues and needs to be evaluated by a shrink? Whatever happens he has a very large fine and potential compensation to pay?
  4. Smokey and the Bandit
    Quite right, the question remains just what can be done? The country seems to be in the hands of these crooks who wield all the power?

    Unless this guy Wong is mentally impaired someway, he need to be punished to the fullest extent of the law! Having said that: "Section 17: taking control of an aircraft by using force or threatening to harm the aircraft. The penalty will be death punishment, life imprisonment, or imprisonment from 10 to 20 years." I think the death penalty is taking it a bit too far?🙄
  6. Smokey and the Bandit
    Its still deadly, road deaths are way too high!
  7. Smokey and the Bandit
    Yes, definitely tell them why! Double pricing for everything now? 🤭
  8. Smokey and the Bandit
    I'm hoping that was sarcasm??
  9. Smokey and the Bandit
    Surely you not suggesting that people can be bought in Thailand?
  10. Smokey and the Bandit
    Well, lets hope so?
  11. Smokey and the Bandit
    So telling the truth is illegal now??

    I can understand asking for the boarding pass for the flight into Thailand, I have been asked before when entering, but previous boarding passes, doesn't make any sense. Most people, including Myself do not keep a bunch pf boarding passes with them, once you have entered the respective country you discard it!

    "He revealed that during the questioning, the police discussed a sum of 50,000 baht to clear the case without proceeding with the charges." That sentence from the article, means they are not asking for 'bail money', but BRIBE MONEY!

    The RTP say there is no prostitution in Pattaya, there is a subtle difference!

    "This legal action goes beyond the ordinary, as it raises questions about the potential impact on the influx of social media influencers and tourists who frequently visit Thailand and document their experiences on platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube."
  16. Smokey and the Bandit
    "A Chinese social media influencer who came to Thailand to do a hatchet job on the kingdom’s foreign tourism industry, particularly Bangkok’s Nana nightlife district, has found herself summoned, charged, fined and warned off by Immigration Bureau police who informed her she could be facing potential deportation for breaching the kingdom’s strict labour laws."
  17. Smokey and the Bandit
    This is Thailand, anything can happen?
  18. Smokey and the Bandit
    Correct. obviously they knew and turned a blind eye for a few brown envelopes, so will the local cops get reprimanded for 'breaking the law'?
  19. Smokey and the Bandit
    Some do, ask Bill Britt, sadly he has passed away, but he made a lot!
  20. Smokey and the Bandit
    You are correct it is NOT a pyramid scheme and the products do what they say and are good quality!
  21. Smokey and the Bandit
    Tomatoes are botanically fruits because they form from flowers and have seeds, but they are usually considered vegetables in cooking
  22. Smokey and the Bandit
    You said 'clowns' and that is being euphemistic!
  23. Smokey and the Bandit
    Yes agreed, she was what Thailand wants, Rich Quality tourists. So Thailand gets one, a quality tourist, and look what happens to her? They detain her and find an excuse to potentially deport and blacklist her? Its hard to fathom exactly what planet the RTP are on?
  24. Smokey and the Bandit
    " Its like she killed somebody?? Was sarcasm! From the attached article: "The legal action against Ms Wang has stirred controversy, especially as it appears to signal a departure from the typical response to negative portrayals of the country. Senior police officials explicitly stated that the cause for the legal action was the production and distribution of content deemed harmful to Thailand’s image abroad."
  25. Smokey and the Bandit
    Yes agreed or 90 day reports in person etc, but why on Earth did they revert back to this and why is it only at some immigration offices?
