I assume his mate would be a suspect, vanishing and all.

I hardly think he should be called his mate.

Was the officer in uniform? Did the tourist know that he was the Police? Was there alcohol involved? For sure!! This is not a shooting this is murder.

Great labor Law attorneys, The Kingdom Law Group in Bangkok. Check out their website. A friend of mine had a very similar situation and under Thai labor Laws they were able to get him six months severance plus legal fee(s).

These types of shakedowns have been common place for the 20 years I have been coming here. They need to prosecute the officers involved, fire them and send them to prison for a few years. If they don't. this stuff will never end.

Go to the Police Station of jurisdiction with a Thai attorney. File a Police report with the details, dates etc. Same thing happened to a good friend and The Kingdom law Group resolved the problem very quickly. Good luck. Np doubt the woman fell deeply in love with you after six hours together.(joking)

Strange that the article on two dead detainees is on the same page as an invitation to come to Thailand. Maybe they could use the catch phrase “A great place die”

What that has to do with renting of property goes completely over my head.

 

What I do understand is that many members in this thread, as usual when it concerns their 40 year younger spouse, live in denial.

 

Until the day that they have to sign up under a new username with a first thread : my friend..........." 55555555555555555555555

Sounds like you have the wrong Thai wife. Join the club.

Maybe she should take some time and read the loan agreement. Always good to do before signing.

This enforcement is sure to send a scare to a lot of farang teachers

I must have missed the part that said anything about being a foreign teacher.

Thank you for your replies, gentlemen.

To help clarify, I have been living technically legally in Thailand when I am there. I also travel around the world, return to the U.S. as desired, followed the prescribed law which falls into 'tourist' activities, do not work illegally, am 61 (don't want retirement visa yet). and am single. Previous visa apps have been overseen by my attorney and visa immigration in Mae Said with approval. They  know us - for many years. So, I am legal. As for now, I am attempting to obtain a tourist visa, and according to THAI LAW as prescribed to visa applicants online (which may not mean much to some), I meet the criteria of obtaining a tourist visa, i.e. exit flight, accommodations, monthly income, not working in Thailand, guarantor, cash in the Thai bank, cash in another Thai bank, and cash in an American bank. There is nothing that says you can not have unlimited tourist visas in a year. There is a new law that says you can only do a visa on arrival twice in 12 months (which I've already done of course).  Thanks for your comments.

You don't want a retirement visa? That alone shows that you are not thinking right. You would rather have these visa difficulties? Something is just not right.

Hire an attorney to go with you to the Police immediately to make sure that you are on record relative to the overstay. Great people with immigration issues are The Kingdom Law group co.Ltd., they did a great job for me and my wife.

Does the word "Eviction"ring a bell to you genius. What part of "No Pets" don't you understand? DUH!

Transportation in Thailand is very economical and affordable to even the poorest of Thais. Yet, these backpackers want to travel for free. Get rid every last one of them, they do little if nothing for the economy or image of the country. Nothing but beggars in foreign clothes. 

Hire a licensed attorney.

Mr. Prime Minister with all due respect sir, allow me to give you the definition of Ego:

I know a couple of Thai families living quite well on 10k/month (and paying rent and uni fees for their kids out of that).

As for health care, some of us aren't constantly ill, my last visit to a doctor was 4 years back for a few stitches after a crash (about 1,000bht). I live well on 20k/month + house loan repayments.

I've not had any health insurance since I left the UK.

You cannot live "WELL" on 10K per month with two kids in school anywhere. Don't worry, no health care will certainly catch up with you.

Be very careful. It sounds like you are playing with fire.The child being legally adopted by a Thai woman would give her the same parental rights as the biological father. In the event of divorce, custody issues, child support, living arrangements. Think this through before you do something you may regret. What is the purpose of a lergal adoption? Do you really need it to live together as a family? Speak with a qualified attorney before entering into any agreement for your child's adoption. Be smart and think with your brain.

Being an ass$%le comes naturally to some people. In this case it is the driver, risking peoples lives.

A drunk Irishman.  Shocking!!!!

I have had AIS for 15 years with no complaints. Competitive rates and no hassles.

First: Pattaya is not a great food destination. Second: Whose idea was it to even suggest that Pattaya is a great food destination?

As far as food goes, Pattaya is at best a 2 on a  scale of one to 10  with 10 being the best. Pattaya is not a food destination at all.
