And gets banned for 5 years!

Before you jump to the keyboard please check the rules. The guy was on one day overstay and it is not a 5 year Ban. Facts that can be easily ascertained with search of the forum or google.

 

Overstay more than 90 days –   1 year ban from Thailand

Overstay more than  1 year  –    3 year ban from Thailand

Overstay more than  3 years –   5 year ban from Thailand

Overstay more than  5 years – 10 year ban from Thailand

He wasn't arrested because of overstay. He paid 2000 baht and everybody was happy. No ban what so ever.

Deported, or allowed to extend, retrospectively?

Read what I wrote. The guy lives in Thailand. Don't believe anything you read in The Thaiger, or even in The Nation.

I gather he was arrested for not paying the bill, not for overstay.  He fixed up the bill with 2000 baht, but police discovered at the time he was a 1 day overstay.

 

So, did police release him after they collected the debt, and do nothing about the overstay?  If so, it shows where their priorities lay.

 

Debt collectors in uniform.   ????

Cone on one day, Yes arrest and fine him for his transgressions but overstay one day just taking him to the airport and make him pay his 500baht and leave. 

Try your luck... if you are found overstaying by immigration officers "in the wild" before you "surrender" at airport, even for one day or less, they drop you at the immigration prison (which has the same number of stars as the central prison: sleep on the floor in overcrowded hot cell with barely enough room to extend legs and with toilets in the corner, crappy bone soup for meal), waiting for a judgment, then if you cannot pay the fine and buy a very expensive plane ticket at the prison "travel agency", you stay here... (the good side is that you do not need visa anymore) ...

You seem a bit paranoid. Don't believe everything you read online, especially in The Thaiger and even in The Nation. Posters here blows everything out of proportion.

The warrant issued on December 9th said that William W. had stayed, eaten and consumed beverages in a hotel knowing that he did not have the  ability to pay. The warrant also stated that he was on overstay. 

Go home farang! No soup for you!

Check your facts before jumping in..... you just listed the ban for someone surrendering. For anyone arrested the minimum is 5 years. Yes I was fear mongering somewhat, but check out the 5th word in the OP headline!

The unpaid bill was just a misunderstanding.  The 1 day overstay, well, that was just a misunderstanding as well.  2000 baht fixed up these misunderstandings.  ????

Unless you don't have the money, then a misunderstand becomes a criminal offense, and you are charged.  Then, the money magically appears.  ????
