Deserted

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.

Biometrics and personal data.

Oh yes, fingerprints, forgot that. Oh dear, he is in trouble then.

Nice to see they got caught.

So where are they going then?

They smoke it?

 

As it was tablets I have been working on the assumption that they just swallow them, like all other tablets?

In broad terms, the thais see this as a teenage thing. That's what they do when they start out, often in their teens or when at school even. They usually move into smoking because its more controllable and you don't stay high for as long. It's less intense you could say. But as it so happens, ice has taken over from yaba anyway, and most do ice now. 

Or possibly manslaughter.

How many of these things does the average 'addict' take each day?

If they smoke it between 5-10 I would say. They are sold in packets of ten usually.

Someone has taken it or someone has given it to the wrong person. Since ID and codes are required, I suspect the latter. If so you should report it because that is theft.
