A news conference video from Sophon Cable TV showed Pattaya station chief Pol Col Apichai Krobpetch present the latest bunch of arrests of illegals and over-stayers.

 

Speaking on behalf of the Pattaya and tourist police Apichai said that 19 were in custody including nationals from Britain, the US, India, Canada and Cambodia. 

 

Some had entered Thailand illegally while others were on overstay. He also mentioned that some were taking jobs reserved for Thais.

 

When pressed on what jobs he told a reporter that further investigation was needed to ascertain that. 

 

Several of the foreigners looked as though they had spent a considerable time on beaches or perhaps had been auditioning for the part of Robinson Crusoe.

That's not a restricted occupation. However, being Man Friday is definitely prohibited for foreigners.

So if the USA guy is broke, or claims to be, and offers no money or means or willingness to buy a ticket back to the USA, what happens?  Thailand locks him up?  If he gets the deportation order, who buys the ticket, and to where?

He can set up a crowd funding page. There are loads of extremely rich Americans on this forum; I should imagine he will be able to fly home in first class.

Maybe the US guy was scammed by a thai woman. Its common here in LOS to see foreigners losing everything for issan women. A little sympathy will be welcomed on this forum.

Is that a surfer dude with the blonde dreads?  He came for the waves, but was misinformed?

I believe he would be deported to his home country, in this case the USA.      I'm wondering too who would pay if he is broke.

Of course. So, you just said that it´s the blame of isaan women that US guys and other guys loose all their money, enter the country illegally or overstay? Have you ever been thinking about the lack of common sense and the possibility to live in reality, that is totally missing regarding theese guys that you think we should have so much sympathy for.

Same as saying that you should have sympathy for a bag of rice, just because it went empty.

Standard procedure is that he will relax in IDC until he can find a way to buy his own ticket home. If his embassy contacts family that would be one way to do it.

The US will let him stay in prison for up to 50 days,  then within a week of hitting the deportation center they will repatriate him with all costs paid in order to do this.  This is their standard policy.

I wonder if any of them will be allowed to fly to Bangladesh now they've been arrested, as Premchai did.

I'm with you there capt. Round 'em up and send them on their way . I had to spend nearly 2 hours yesterday at Maesai Imm. for my marriage visa , more paper work then ever , why ?  Because of illegals and overstayers in part.

Let him stay in prison for 50 days. The US Enbassy is all heart.

Why are they wearing a mask ? is it smelly at the police station?

Meanwhile the other motley crew in brown continue to collect protection money whilst ignoring the meterless taximeters.

It's obvious that they have been given the masks to hide their faces.

There was a clear reminder some time age that it's forbidden to parade suspects full face to the public.

 

I guess that about 11 of the 19 are Cambodian fresh from a construction site or the like. All properly dressed compared to the western looking tramps.

Happened to a Dutch guy I knew, you stay in prison until you have the funds to buy a ticket, he was inside for 9 months before he received the money for a ticket.

Sorry, you are just all wrong. I didn´t clear anything up. I stated my opinon. That is also something you are entitled to, due to that is what people do in a news forum.

I have a question, though. You sign that you stupidly thought the same thing about scammers galore? What are you meaning, and which category of people are you refering to as beeing scammers?

As a third fact. I have no intention or wish to be a voice to the people. Reason for that is in the explaination above regarding what we usually do in a forum.

That's consistent with some reports I have seen.

I learnt from an early age at school not to gamble, walking 3 miles home in the snow, loosing 2 penny bus fare on a gamble with marbles. Loving and marrying a Thai lady here is a big big gamble, read the books first, listen to the locals, then  make a decision, only gamble with what you can afford to lose.

He'll pay the fine by way of detention in IDC, so much per day towards his fine until it is paid off.  If he can't buy a ticket he'll stay there until he can find someone who can.

The title of the article used the words Motley Crew to describe the arrested persons, perhaps that is Vince Neil?
