No matter what country of origin, you adhere to the country's laws. If not, then you will be subject to scrutiny.

Trouble is ....no one can make any sense as to how flexible Thai laws are.

Ten Indian men, 24 Thai women arrested over fake-marriage scam.

 

Salutations to the Royal Thai Police for getting this one right - well done!

With all of the hurdles and hoops that we LEGIT falangs have to jump over and through for the purpose of satisfying the Thai authorities that we are bone fide, it pi$$es me off that a few ... (maybe a lot more than just a few!?) can circumvent the Thai Immigration rules and live\work here without the fuss of complying with Thai Immigration rules & regs' - like what we have to do! I do enjoy a curry now and again and have often wondered if the waiter could produce a bank passbook showing a balance of ฿800.000 in it? Me thinks the odds are zero - or even a valid Passport, come to that. Just sayin' - that's all.

surely if you're going to break the law like that you'd be just as well on overstay than going through the 'hoops' of obtaining an illegal permission to stay.

But i suppose they never thought it would catch up with them. They never do til it does 

 

People from all walks of life will always attempt to cicurmvent the law. A matter of "when" you will get caught.

5000 Baht? Id want more than that to marry a Thai woman it's obvious these guys dont know what their letting themselves in for

But the docs were forged.... no 'real' consequences, on the marriage, at least.

..ten little..nine little..eight little..seven little Indian boys.

You want to move to Thailand? Then make sure you're in agreement with the criteria to be considered "legal". As opposed to those "special" businesses where they seem immune from prosecution or scrutiny, then the certain Thais who seem to be in bed with the authorities, no haggling anymore.....you're screwed!

India has their own <deleted> up repression due to religious BS. And then when they visit outside of their country, it seems to be a free-for-all.......like a child in a candy store. Still, people can exert restraint.....at least that's how I was brought up.

500 baht was enough to get some women to do this?  5000 max.  Crazy.  

fake marriages and false documents were used to extend the men’s stay in Thailand

 

 In Europe there will soon be no more immigrants and no foreigners living illegally thanks to the charter that will be signed in Marrakech on September 10th.

not sign by every country and not by Thailand

Probably a hint of Vindaloo in the area.. expect more complaints from Phuket as T.A.T shifts it's priorities form Chinese to Indians..

If one was to take notice of all the "Thai knockers" on here, one would be forgiven for thinking "Who in their right mind would ever want to go there"...yet, we see time after time just how far people are actually willing to go, breaking immigration laws....in order to do just that?

Does this same sentiment apply to all of those horribly "racist" Western countries so many are trying to illegally enter?

So did they consummate their marriage?

Consummation is NOT a requirement in Thailand for a marriage to be legal

I think consummation would be a good idea just to be on the safe side....

Hang out in the mall toilets just to enjoy the luxury. Go home and tell stories of the most amazing dump of their lives.

Not at all, I did read the post. These are the numbers apprehended. The rest they may or may not be caught!

These men have the charm and know how to curry favour with Thai women.

And TAT estimates millions more Indians going to Thailand . Along with the Chinese scammers there’s a lot of competition ! Of course not a lot of news about arresting Thai scamming of foreigners.... probably because they don’t get arrested!

Pity they were busted....some new fine indian cuisine restaurants were about to open and these boys would have done a fine job !

I thought Indians normally worked on the ratio of 4 or 5 guys to 1 beer and 1 lady - poppadom bloody lovely
