[connda]

Wasn't "there are only 500 overstays left in Thailand" about 10,000 overstays ago?

Just yesterday you have a general saying that foreigners commit all the crimes here against Thais, and he means it.

He didnt say that though , he stated that on-line romance scams are done by foreigners to Thais .

New motto: Bad guys out, good guys out, foreigners out.  Leave your money and just go.

According to Region One chief Pol Gen Amphon Buarapporn  "he had never seen a case of a Thai ripping off a fellow Thai. It was always foreigners who were responsible."

I recall Big Joke saying that there were none left. Where have they found another 537 from?

Just go to long gluea market backside and watch the stream of illegals enter around 5:30am daily. They pay 1500 baht. Its a business. Take their money but catch and send them back so they pay again. It just a revolving door border.

208 with staying or working in the Kingdom without informing the authorities of their residential addresses or work places.

I may be mistaken but is this the first mention of this offence in the Operation Outlaw Xray or whatever it's called. This could be more of a concern to foreigners who travel out of the country or even out of province and don't report their addresses immediatel upon return.

He is living up to his name, that's all:)

So far 5,978 foreigners have been arrested as a result of 6,013 searches nationwide in 41 operations.

So each of these expensive, man power-hungry searches netted less than one illegal foreigner on average? Not very efficient, are we?

I think they just aren't coming much now. Was in Hua Hin last weekend and the locals were complaining at the lack of (western) tourists. It makes me wonder how these crackdowns, tightening of immigration and business laws, making it harder for western teachers to remain and teach here, etc, have a flow-on effect in reducing the number of western tourists.

The same place that the taxi drivers are finding all the money.

[jaiyen]

I bet most of the so called "Foreigners" who have over stayed are poor Burmese and Cambodian people like in the previous raids. Only a couple of black drug dealers

[Gandtee]

Why does Super Hero keep bombarding us with his bull s**t. " There are now no overstayers." ? It seems that the mouth starts working before the brain is engaged. Is it him or just bad reporting?????

[Jim walker]

flushing out the rats no one will complain

[alexlm]

Can anyone explain what is he called Big Joke and his real name? Is he the new immigration chief? Top 1 Boss? For how long?

[Cranky]

How does one 'sneak in' without a visa? Crawl through the jungle I assume

And BJ to the ladies???? 

[Ulic]

I don't think people understand. These are new overstayers. They should not be confused with the old overstayers that were all removed already as Big Joke has reported.  

[Wake Up]

All I hear on this TF forum is criticism of a group of men doing their jobs. We should be happy these guys are gone.

These searches were earlier named “Operation Black Eagles” because they focused on those from Africa, Nigeria, but have since been given the less provocative title of “Operation X-Ray Outlaw Foreigner”.

Yeah, right! ????

While I know Thai border posts where I could just walk through and no-one would give a rat's ass, I have still to see a border post in the neighbouring countries where this is possible. So yes, you'd get stamped out there, then just walked past the Thai border post...

and when we get off the plane, the condo, hotel or house owner also needs to report that we are staying at the address we wrote when obtaining the visa and on the plane. That's what I call acting in a sinergy

Thailand 4.0 with seamless connectivity or paranoia and pointless activity?

Agreed.  How many family members and friends come to visit people living in the Kingdom.  Now all those people have moved on (seems like we are going through a mass extinction event here) to somewhere else, those people will go there instead.  You make your bed......

[ChipButty]

Zero the other week wasn't it? Unless the guys have found another way to make money smuggling people across the boarders I guess local people would know which route to take

Thats why he's called a big joke.

[soistalker]

Can we get this in California?

Why is it that the United States lets everyone come inside like a girl from Udon Thani off the bus and in pattaya for the first time?

[randy723]

Big Joke is nothing but a real joke. If he was a real cop he would have arrested Boss the cop killer. But I guess him and the other cops like the money from His grandfather more than catching a killer that kill one of their brother cop.

I have NO respect for any cop that can not catch a person who kills another cop, May all the cops involved rot in hell.

This is very good-just like the 1,017 other topics on Thai razzias..

 

I show them to my colleagues-none of whom evince the slightest desire to visit Big Joke's paradise..

 

..but two have been before and one,at least,was contemplating it!

 

I also show them photos of Thailand's construction sites-commonly referred to as tourist attractions,resorts, and exotic locations-but that is off topic..

reality hurts but some appear to enjoy it

So why do we have to tell the embassy where we're gonna stay and again write it on that paper in the plane to Thailand?

and checking in at any place they still have to report you as well..... paper work + paper work + paper work = control freak

[roadrunner32]

But no mentioned about the nationality of these illegal guys.
