Mr Kroka was unable to show police the correct permits for operating a spa business in Thailand. When police asked to see his passport he was found  to have overstayed in Thailand by 28 days.

 

77 Jowo reported that he has been charged with operating a business without permission, overstay and engaging in work outside of what is permitted.

 

He is being held at Koh Phangan Police Station.

 

Police said they raided the spa after receiving a tip off it was being run illegally.

The police relying on tip offs again.

 

I would have thought immigration's all-new-all-singing-all-dancing database would have allowed them to 'pounce' as soon as he went into one day overstay, never mind twenty-eight days.

The tip off was regarding an illegally run business, not an overstaying 'two-legs-bad' foreigner.

Just another loser.

L.O.S.  Land of Snitches!  I wonder if they get paid, like those snitching on the motorcycles parked on the pavement in Bangkok. 

 

Must be easy to get into the police force here; it's not like a degree in common sense will be a requirement.

Not too easy, they'll need to put up a chunk of money, whatever degree you have.

You're quite right.  I didn't mention the money because it's common knowledge.  However, the big money is for the sought-after posts; a bit like local elections - the winner is the biggest contributor to the government coffers.  I have an in-law who used to be a local councillor in her home town, and she is seriously minted.

   Bad foreigner out, good foreigner in. 

   Bad Thai in, good Thai out.

Depends on what Rank you would like to start

If you work – or do anything else that might be illegal – keep extremely low profile under the radar, and never interfere with some business that Thais already do.

From experience, and purely as a comparison, the UK authorities don't seem capable of pouncing as a result of their data bases. Nor do they seem to bother with tip offs to their report line!

 

At least the authorities here are making an effort to catch illegal immigrants or those working illegally.

The psuedo "mafia" has nothing whatsoever to do with it. Immigration and tourist police are checking for work permits, illegal businesses, and visa overstays. GOOD for them! These leeches just make things more difficult for those of us who follow the rules by putting everyone under increased government scrutiny.

well, good for you if you see it that way. enjoy the weekend

UK is behind the times when compared to Thailand's effective response in nabbing illegal immigrants. ID card helps, sadly UK is still embracing the square wheel, where the country has become a criminals paradise. Hell, they can't even afford a proper police force, and they call it a 1st world country?

Why isn't a simple daily or weekly data base query run that outputs all foreigners that at least according to the data in the data base have now exceeded their stays?  I mean it is just about as simple a thing any database, even a simple excel worksheet could produce.  Then the officials would have a list, probably fairly large and in any given day could much more efficiently go and find the over stayers.  Now, no doubt some may not be at their reported addresses, but I think it would be better than just randomly checking and taking pot shots

The most important thing you've missed: We're in Thailand.

UK does check work places routinely for illegal workers. The problem in the UK is if they nab you, they will ask for your passport and if you cannot provide  a passport, they cant deport you. They cant detain you also for the first offense. Many illegals will throw their passport as soon as they successfully enter UK.

Well it must have been some time since 1993. At least before then it would have been easier to Czech if she was a Slovak.
