Balls of brass to have overstayed that long.

 

Probably shot his mouth off to too many customers about his overstay situation....

Then clearly Chinese Whispers move REALLY slowly in HH ....

Like many of us, I accept we are just temporary guests (who could at any minute) be deported without any good reason by immigration. We choose to come to Thailand voluntarily, and then fool ourselves in thinking we have improved our status in Thailand by marrying and having children and investing. The facts couldn't be further from the truth. Doesn't matter what footprint you have, it makes no difference, nor does the Thai system care about foreigners. You are a Farang, that's it ! so if you slip or break the law, out you go .. and before that happens the country will seize all your assets, and leave you with just a shirt on your back ! (if your lucky)

Agreed the old fools who come here and breed....Stupid old men having kids...no sympathy for them.. Where is your evidence that the country will seize your assets? Absolute nonsense!!

Total idiots passing this down the line until yet another one buys into that mantra and then starts crowing about. Its cringeworthy to read

There's a guy in Hua Hin who built a condo with the bttm two floors a hotel. Somebody dies in one the rooms and when the police go through the paperwork, no hotel license, business shut down. When you live on the edge legally, sometimes all it takes is an unrelated domino of events. 

As many have said before you can't fix stupid. Suddenly someone retires and they become experienced property developers or financial whizz kids? Astute International Investors

They don't.

They are still Fred the Plumber (and son) who is on the pension or even possibly Nigel the retiree Post Master from Kent who is in the same boat but has now fathered two kids who MUST go to international school in the misguided belief it will make the kids more intelligent.

Worrying about the exchange rate of the pound to the Baht.

That's the reality for a lot retirees in Thailand. Over extended based on past exchange rates and now trapped like rats.

according to a poster on here he was caught when Thais called police for a welfare check, sounds more likely than others saying he was informed on...

Highly likely but I wouldn't put it past the farang brotherhood to have some involvement somewhere. They seem to be the most jealous and obnoxious types anywhere.

What assets most falangs own here? Most own nothing. They have their worthless usufruct, yellow book and pink cards to cuddle and make them feel good about their unwise financial decisions.

Live and let live and don't care about any rules. That's why you moved to Thailand?

Is his brothel fronting as a bar will be shut down and will he be charged with pimping  Thai girls exclusively without giving any opportunities to African ladies?

Yes he should - The bar was for sure in his wife's name and she employed thai's. He stayed without visa, he worked without permit and when his wife died he didn't care about the bar neither the employees sitting and drinking feeling sorry for himself so no reson to glorify a helpless wretch who never cared about the rules in the country he choosed to live in and finally must pay the price for it … 

From photos in the earlier post, he had work permit before his passport expired. So, I don't understand why he doesn't renew his passport in the first place.

I would but they are leaving for they can not legally meet the visa financial requirements.

Thank buddha for the agents falsifying documents for the majority of long term falangs.

Its unlikely he will spend any time in a Thai prison, he will be put through the system and deported, Same as every one else unless they are charged with a criminal offense. Same as most countries. Unless you claim to be a refugee. 

Why do you think that? I have been told that if no one pays up the overstay fine, foreigners serve it out in a Thai prison. Is it the lack of a criminal conviction?

 

Not to be unsympathetic, but have to believe he failed to renew his passport as he was on the run.

 

Does anyone know what happened to Mr. Doyle over the last six weeks?

[Aussieroaming]

probably a good outcome. A trip back to the UK, time to get his mental health back on track and re-evaluate his life. We all make errors of judgement and he'll pay his dues. Good luck to him.

This is my dad he left me in 2009 to Thailand. He hasn’t bothered to stay in contact with me or his family in the last 10 years so I am not sure why I’m here however he is my dad in the end of the day. So I want to try to help him. Has anybody got anyway of me speaking to him? He is almost unrecognisable to the man that left he has obviously tried to drink himself to death.

Contact your embassy to see if and when he got deported, If he got fined and didn't have the money to pay he could still be in jail, IDC center

Plan on buying it cheap?

I might as well ask -  What the name of the bar?
