rooster59 Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Australian man arrested for stalking compatriot - more Thais fined for not reporting foreigners at their addresses Image: Naew Na Naew Na reported the arrest of an Australian man who has been stalking an Australian woman in Petchabun in Thailand's north east. The Australian woman had called 191 on July 22nd, 26th and 30th to say that she was being harassed by Mikhail Gladyshev a 39 year old Australian man. Even though he had been warned by police on a previous occasion he continued to pester the woman at her place of employment. To avoid arrest he was moving around the town seeking out places where they would not bother to check his passport and not officially register him within the stipulated 24 hour period. He was finally tracked down to The Luxe hotel in Muang Petchabun and taken into custody. The hotel manager was fined 10,000 baht for not reporting him as staying there. In separate cases three other people were fined 2,000 baht each for not reporting foreigners at their addresses. Pol Lt-Col Nawiphat Thetsayaem of Petchaburi immigration reminded people about the enforcement of Article 38 and said that the 1178 hotline could be used to report infractions.

Interesting. anti immigrant because the state feed them with tax money, that is not the case in thailand, we bring our own money and feed our self. as for the 'thai xenophobic' meme, that is an effect of senility i think and quite possibly related to tvf, never heard it outside tvf Edited August 3, 2019 by brokenbone 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That must have been some impressive defective detective work to track someone without the aid of the all-singing-all-dancing TM30. They must have used the services of a fortune teller. Probably the midget one who's now on the run after the unwanted publicity. I saw the news article about it: Small medium still at large. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is ok, but they shouldn't let people stay on temporary permit for years, it's just dishonest. And manages to fool some who think they are permanent residents in Thailand when it's crystal clear they are just temps on back to back permits. The result is anxiety which could have been avoided altogether if people hadn't been allowed to move here for long term based on temp permits. Thai greed is the cause.

The immigrant route is a possibility, though not easy to get, not impossible either. High net worth individuals and those with connections who have exceeded the basic criteria needed to apply can apply for citizenship (a much better choice than permanent residency). However, most of the expats here I've spoken to have expressed reluctance to apply for citizenship, for some bizarre reason. I see no reason not to go for it, if you're eligible and choose to stay here long-term given Thailand allows (or at least tolerates) dual citizenship. For me it's a non-brainer.

Some countries won't allow dual citizenship and Thai passport means applying visas for most destinations outside Asia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thais will just cease letting to foreigners because the whole TM30 reporting and the risks of being checked by authorities and fined has become a great pain in the neck to them. It's way easier for them to let to Thais, they get the same rent without all these hassles that come with foreign tenants. I even suspect that the increased frequency of fining Thai landlords, plus the increasing amounts of these fines, is a deliberate step by Immigration towards making life impossible for foreigners.

TM30 usage is a large drain on resources for the benefit of a few. Most undesirables are not reporting anyway and criminals on overstay will definitely not do TM30. Neighboring country like Malaysia did not even insist on such TM30 and I don’t see any significant increase in crimes. As for catching criminals, isn’t that the job of the CID of the country? Stopping undesirables at the first stop like border control would reduce many from committing crimes in the country in the first place. Putting the effort of TM30 squarely upon the shoulders of the foreigners and owners is not a good idea. Poor usage of resources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only that. I think the police are too lazy to chase after criminals. They are hoping to just key in some criminal’s name into their TM30 database and out pop the latest residence of the criminal delivered on the platter. Perhaps the police can even call up the owner of the place to ask him to bring the tenant to present himself at the police station ? So TM30 is just a procedure to make the CID police life easier.
