It seems their MO is to check those who have kept their paperwork in order just hoping to get lucky. Had two visits in the last two months by immigration. What a wonderfully effective approach.

Clearly they are not referring to local Asians.

I do not agree with you about the Phitsanulok office, one officer there accused me of having a 25 day overstay, it took someone from higher up to sort it out, that same officer even asked me if my wife was working, and I was only there to do a 90 day report on my retirement extension. 

This happened a few years ago and ever since then I have been frightened to do any 90 day reports personally. 

Are you less intimidated by the new Phichit Immigration office when doing 90 day reports? People in there seem pleasant enough.

I will send you a PM soon.  Johnny.

Offensive Nazi hyperbole posts and replies have been removed. 

I doubt any smearing they could do would  match that of the Thais themselves.
So now any overstayers  wil also lose  all their  money regardless!!

Yes! Money in Thai bank accounts or cash , and rightly so...criminals !

Just got stopped at the airport for overstaying by one day.
My visa was 90 days not 3 months as I thought.
Guy I got passed on to was really friendly and understanding. He just
explained the propper time limit, stamped my passport and wished me a pleasant journey.

It doesn't say 8,000 farang, it says - "Those illegal aliens, mostly of who came from Asia, Africa and Europe",

Exactly!
So are Burmese now included or not in those 8000?
Guess not...

Roll another one...

will not only be arrested but have all their wealth confiscated by the authorities, he said.

Looks like the government is going to miss out big time here with the farang, in many cases the wife / GF has already collected the lions share of the wealth.

Issan is a terrible place to hide if you are on overstay. Immigration checks on foreigners are rampant there.

True..

 

But you are more than likely going to get dobbed in by one of your pension obsessed,European, stasified, mates.They have nothing to do up there all day other than to poke their lugubrious noses into everyone else's business.

Not sure how did they get to that figure,  how do they know who's of the overstays engaged in criminal

and who's not, I'm thinking that this is maybe a ballpark figure and that in reality there are many more

than 8,000 out there.....

Surely they know who has come in and who has exited, it isn't rocket science!
