With a big breakout like that - if they just hopped in a van and did a beeline to the Cambodian border - they would be caught fairly easily.  They will have checkpoints actively looking for the escapees on the most likely routes right away.  You want to get out of the immediate area without being seen (the immediate area has too many people that may recognize them), but you don't want to be out in the open for too long as the search area makes it more likely to be caught... you want to hide out for a while with no contact with anyone that can out you and let the search area widen and quiet down a bit before you try to move out.  If I were him, I would have run to Bangkok where there are so many farang that you might be able to blend in and lie low while the heat is on...

Agree with first part of your logic.  In Bangkok he would probably be spotted by the many farangs there and reported; it's always useful to curry favour with the authorities.  Don't forget, almost every farang is a brilliant detective from what we read on Thaivisa.

Think all can agree it must suck big time being on the run. Glad I’m safe relaxing in my home in HH.

When I did my last runner, It took me about 2 hours to get rid of my leg irons and another 8 to get a change of clothes. Being XXL is a real issue here!

Well, don't get married then!

50,000 reward!!!

Great incentive to dob someone in.

I think not....

Attempted murder. 

 

You can share a much safer reward for grassing on someone smoking on the beach..

 

Surely they can't be serious. 

And dont call me Shurley..55

 

This is Thailand...

So I take it you have not seen her pic prior to arrest? Or were you under the impression mug shots were glamor shots ?

I can read between the lines. I can even identify a diamond in the rough. There ain't no diamond here.

That's what food sellers and Thai massage shops have tried to tell me when I've complained they were trying to charge me more than Thais.

So size matters?  That's what I've been doing wrong all these years in believing them saying that it was 12".  You just cut my 'fun' expenditure in half.

 a greater chance of not be detected travelling in a group of three plus minders, problem is it involves more minders, so greater chance of being sold out for a reward.

Cue the usual litany of disparaging posts directed at RTP and even worse for the perp given

She is a woman

She is thai

Ain't life grand being an expat eh?

Yeah! True that! Why they just don't check his TM30 report. I think his address can be found there, as he shouldn't be so dumb to get into troubles for non-reporting ????????

Enough with the TM 30, ridiculous let it ho

The man has been arrested, charged with a crime, and you are advocating and supporting him after a serious crime against an officer of the court. I think you should re-evaluate you values

50,000 pretty cheap they are. 

Actually a generous reward as you can be killed for less ...
