Now he has to find ramshackle accommodation in Mansfield for the next 10 years! Won't be an easy life without heating over there.... Bad boy!!

Let's not forget the snowy nights and days.

The fella overstayed so is getting blacklisted, fair enough.

But it's not enough! I think he needs his face and passport details shared on Thai news because I am sure the people of Thailand give a shit about such a heinous crime and just to round it off a good bashing from all the fine upstanding perfect TVF angels.

That'll teach the monster ????

As the Africans say - In the UK there are 2 kind of winters - the green one is the coldest as they do not put the heating on....

Maybe I'm naive or stupid, both are possibilities.

 

But I totally get why someone would want to move to Thailand, if they feel they can better use their cash to achieve a better lifestyle than they could at home.

 

But to move to live in a tin shack, versus some project housing at home.

 

I just don't get that....well of course, there is always the sex!

It may also be that the only option is a shackle home - home or away....

 

If so, its not difficult to understand that a Thai shackle home is the preferred one...

Going back to Mansfield from Koh Phangan sure will be a reality check...lol.

If they don't like it they can go back to Africa....

Thailand is telling us that they want to clean up their act.

The problem that I see is; what will they do when they have eventually kicked everyone out.

The wannabe hippies and the old fart brigade and the wannabe intelligence services groupies. The sex tourists and the gunjah afficionados.  

Just what will they do for a dollar then?

Get a job like normal ppl !

Geez,.. what a way of living when on overstay,. Constantly looking over you shoulder and freeze whenever police is around,.. small steps and life could be so much better,.. well well,.. 

Can be pretty tough being on the run.  No real job, no real money.  I fully understand wanting to stay and hang out in Thailand. I sure wanted to after my first few trips.  But I had the sense to realize I could not afford to stay there at that time.  And I actually had some decent engineering work back in the states to return to which actually interested me.  Now at 61 I can afford to do whatever I want.  Sure could have been different if I had punched out and just started spending my assets and money instead of working and saving and investing.  Can be hard to make the smart choice sometimes.

Good but you should fine him as well and if he cant pay then jail time. I obey thailands rules so should he. No sympathy from me

It's just an overstay. 

[Burma Bill]

Currently looks so different from his passport photo. A typical dosser living in a doss house - good riddance.

Is there any reason why the picture of his documents are published? Yes, he should not have overstayed, but that is no reason to publish these documents. Someone at Thai Visa should read and learn about GDPR.

Since when have the EU GDPR regulations applied to Thailand?  Perhaps you should read and learn about GDPR.

Who would want to live in Mansfield he will most probably end up going to one of Thailand’s neighbouring countries once he has raised enough cash to do so for every person kicked out it’s less money in the economy I reckon that over the last two weeks more than 1,000 people have been arrested and that’s in just two weeks.

Yes, and T/l is just keeping it's head above water on currency exchange. Whether someone is here legally or not they still have to exchange money. That is if their not working here illegally

Other news pictures showed ramshackle living accommodation at the property that had no house number. 

Won a genetic lottery by being born in a wealthy nation and belonging to the privileged majority ethnicity, this guy could not make it in his home country and came to Thailand to assert his privilege by overstaying in a ramshackle accommodation.

Jail time? hes no threat to anyone and he hasnt broken any laws so to speak, to take away a mans freedom simply for not sorting his visa is way too far. Fine him, ban him for a few years too, not 10. He has probably made a life here, why he didnt get it sorted actually probably means hes broke. he can go home, get a job, save hard and come back. I still think 10 years is too much considering he hasnt actually broken any laws.

Unless working illegally, he should at least be bringing 300 USD to Thailand for his maintenance. I could see the living standard on a 300 USD for a person who had won a genetic lottery by being born in a high wage country amongst the majority privileged ethnicity.

They need to try being in Lesotho or parts of South. Africa in winter.

his choice and his consequences...I do not have a problem with it that

he did not have a current visa and I always have
like many here who consider themselves holier than the Pope
... strange cases of Popes from Pattaya

 

I agree with you,  marqus.    I don't understand why so many posters seem to take personal offense if an expat has overstayed.      After all, it's not like he emptied someone's bank account, or stole their car.

 

The lad looks decent enough to me.

"Holier than the pope"? Any particular pope in mind? I think most in Pattaya would fit this description.

They could withdraw Thai Baht from their UK account using  a ATM machine in Thailand

Meaby it is because normal people there live here find it  more and more difficult to obtain our visa. check and check again in immigration ask meny questions 

As. Do you work, why are you here long time, where do you get money from 

Just because people as him so no sympathy from me
