Kinda hard to accidentally fall over the retaining wall and rails.

Yes, he may have taken his own life.

Rather strange.

I'm sure I read somewhere that the price of a ticket on the Green Line must not exceed 62 baht. If that's the case, the line between Mor Chit and Ku Khot shouldn't be more than 15 baht.

Still excellent value for money I reckon.

Without a shadow of a doubt, the BTS is one of the best things to happen to Bangkok.

Yes, my friend does that.

Some places do allow it yes but many will not, and if you are a foreigner, they will assume you have money and probably not allow it. Depends on what type of bar it is really.

They can still raise it for stops in the BMA not sure about Samut Prakan but there is only 1 stop in Pathum thani at Khu Kot.  

I'm pretty sure that's Rangsit not Prathum Thani.

A good day for him.

The longer he leaves this the more he is in danger of getting caught out and jailed. Then the big misery begins in detention, which apparently is not a bundle of fun according to quite a few stories on here ! He could be kept for god knows how long, and the cost of getting out , the stress  , the flight etc would be huge. I seriously doubt going the illegal way as some have reported is a good idea. Probably costs a lot, and if he got caught out then what ?
i suppose only serious criminals go down that road . 

Yes I think you are right.

Don't go to bed the night before you fly, then you will sleep on the flight and you should be fine. 

Oh dear, off to the clink it is for them then. Was it really all worth it I wonder?

Oh boy.

Game over for him.

Only in Thailand.

I know that road. Many drive fast on it. 

Not the first time that's happened.

I bet earlier in the day she smoked drugs.

Yes helmetless riders put others at risk. Yes I agree, I've always thought girls who ride bikes are more of a danger than men. And as we know, every man has a helmet!

why do you care, is  that your problem? Better for health to not put your nose in others...

We've known each other for almost 20 years and worked together a few times. It's the first time I've seen him lose control of his own situation before and he seems to think it's no big issue. It helps if I know how things stand myself in case this comes up in conversation again.

How would he be able to sneak out with fake stamps? You don't get a exit stamp until you leave the country

 

Immigration will soon see his entry stamp from 3 years ago and see he is on overstay 

15-20 years ago there were even makeshift offices in Aranyaprathet that offered such services. Many did it back then, I am not so sure now though. It used to be on the Khmer side they would just check for exit stamp before stamping you in, it was a lot more open than it is now.

If he means he can come back in immediately then he is wrong. The penalties for overstaying by as long as he has involve at least a 3 year ban, possibly 5. Which of those it is, depends on whether it's less than three years, or more.

 

 

Overstaying in Thailand

Yeah thanks, it was my feeling that he is in much more trouble than he thinks. I can put all this to him but whether he will listen I don't know. I don't really know what's going on inside his head tbh.

I stopped renewing my MC registration during COVID and have not done so yet. The MC is a used one I bought five years ago for 18K. I only run it in Jomtien's back alleys for going to 7-11 or to the beach. 

Yeah but that's a different story. They can't prove you use it or even have it still.

Never mind fingerprints, they will know when he last entered the country based on his name and date of birth - that's all they need to know.

I've told him already he may be able to sneak out with fake stamps and whatnot but won't be able to sneak back in. I thought that was the case all along but never really said anything until he started telling me all he has to do is pay a 20k fine and that's it

He could get it overseas (it's easy to get out unnoticed) so the entry stamp point is moot, but he would almost certainly not get back in, even with a new passport.

I suspect that is the case yes.
