Inspiring confidence! French man nabbed on 1,935 day overstay

 

Picture: Naew Na

 

Naew Na reported that a patrol of Samut Prakan immigration and local police went to a condominium in Bang Kaew, Bang Plee where they found a French man on overstay. 

 

Philipp H., aged 40, had overstayed his welcome in the kingdom by 1,935 days - well over five years. 

 

The media said this was part of Thai immigration's measures to rid the country of illegal foreigners and inspire confidence among Thais, foreigners and tourists. 

 

Pol Col Parinya Klinkaysorn chief of Samut Prakan immigration "revealed" this was all part of immigration chief Lt-Gen Sompong Chingduang's masterplan. 

 

The public were asked to continue to call 1178 to report transgressions. 

 

Thaivisa notes that the Naew Na report reads like a template with only the names and dates changed from previous stories of this nature.

No, I think he is the sole remaining Khmer Rouge holdout.

The fact that this chap managed to overstay for 1,935 days doesn't really inspire me with much confidence.

Really find the use of the word "rid" distasteful. Suggests action taken is against vermin or pest. Very dehumanizing language.

" 1,935 day overstay "

 

Another one, 20,000 baht fine but the cheapest visa ever.

[tonray]

I guess he's not gonna get his condo deposit back now

[Matzzon]

Only 1935 days. Not much. Happy stay in IDC! At the same time he will not have any travel issues with Thailand in the near future. Good Job!

How do you figure that? On the way to 6 years. With a price for 1 year extension at 1900 baht, that would only be 6 x 1 900. Not even 12 000 baht.

I don’t hear you protesting when other posters scream maniacally about getting “rid” of the Chinese and Indian tourists. Double standards no doubt.

1935 days? Seriously? He deserves whatever happens to him.

 

People on that long an overstay should get a month at the famous Bangkok Hilton for a couple years prior to being sent home for good. That's if they survive that long.

No ! He's named Philipp H

Considering market catering to foreigners is in deep doodoo, perhaps immigration should back off rounding up people who spend money (I assume), over staying or not.... send them back to Issan for a month?

[legend49]

so what was the secret; bio metrics or smart car as they have to be paid for ask Big Joke.

[sirocco]

It looks like a Palestinian scarf.
He has a French first name, but he can come from Arab / French parents or Arab parents who really wanted to integrate into French or from grandkids of harkis.
In the French government, there are many French / Arabs or Arabs / French.

Exactly! what a heinous, vile, sickening crime ......... overstaying.

 

Murderers, rapists, drunk drivers, kiddie fiddlers drug dealers just pale into insignificance compared to this willful criminal, here for over six years spending money in the economy but without a correct visa stamp in his passport.

 

Lucky immigration got him!

 

God knows what fate would have awaited him, if he had fallen into the clutches of an angry mob of the self righteous, indignant, holier than thou pitchfork wielding THAI VISA members.

Yes indeed. I thought it was Yasser Arafat.

1178 - the "snitch" or grass-up" free call number. Do not upset anyone. 

[Aussieroaming]

Are they wearing masks because of the virus or his garlic breath I wonder.

If he wish to stay that long in Thailand, then he will need to have an extension. I just guess he have to wait until he reach age for retirement or marry himself to an extension. Overstaying was probably not a good idea. 

You, know! I was playing with the thought of following the rules in my calculation. Something that seems to be an alien concept to you.

Being deported is one of his problems. But perhaps he has a bank account with money on it, owns a car or motorcycle, bought a lot of personal stuff - not easy (or impossible) to sell it/get the money back.

Oh! Yes, of course. With that you said you are trying to calculate which step on the ladder of stupidity this guy is going to be placed on? ????

No, only that it has more consequences than "only" a deportation.

Yes, but all is created by a stupid mind, so he only have himself and the malfunctioning brain on top of his shoulders to blame.

[kensawadee]

Check his ATM Card first. He may have been spending a lot of money in Thailand. The Gov't may want to keep this guy now since tourists have dissappeared.

[Caldera]

Confidence? He has evaded capture for many years! Even Big Joke's big crackdown. Looks more like they finally got lucky this time.
