your being very nasty again....lanky lad !!!

It's sad to see what Thailand have become with theses stories of 'raids, busts and swooping' on people whose crimes are being overstayers, we're not talking about aprehanding arch criminals or knows terrorists operatives here, and it's disheartening to see that this good country with nice people has become and behave like a police state...

Confused. Immigration does the raid , gets him for overstay But hands him over to police for processing ?

This is actually standard procedure worldwide but in other countries authorities would not waste that much money and manpower on 1 person

Good morning vietnam.

If the 'government' is to keep up the nationalistic rhetoric, then they need a bogey man

Perhaps immigration has now perfected their PC systems to track naughty over stayers in very short order...????

It is very easy to find them with their computer. No exit information, no valid visa. They have all the passport and visa data in their system. The only problem is to find the hiding place of such people because normally they will avoid places with TM30 reporting. 

26 days, just an armature 

I've said this forever, they want whitey out so that the west doesn't invade to protect its citizens when the military clamp down. Now I'm in vietnam and it seems better here. 

26 days? A "swoop". Is that like a SWAT team assault? Geeez. 26 days... Yes it's wrong... But... 26 days and a "swoop" 5555.

It does show how authorities have progressed. Whereas they merely "rushed" they now "swoop". It puts a more "majestic" spin on it, dont you think?

They don't want the 'whitey's poisoning the minds of the Thais with the TRUTH about what is really going on here

 

The Indians and Chinese don't give a fig about such matters

At what stage does it become reasonable for a law breaker to be apprehended?  When they come to notice, or, 26 days, 56 days, 126 days, 1026 days? 

Would the howls of indignation be quite so strident if the transgressor was Nigerian?

 

Thais hunt in packs, I'm always surprised that people here are so surprised when they once again overdo a simple police action.
