They should be ashamed for their mercenary work and for the procedures of their office hitting the low, harmless and poor targets instead of the real ones. They are not doing a good service to their country. They are useless - but proud? OMG Edited February 15, 2020 by sweatalot 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustAnotherHun Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 (edited) I feel sorry for the poor man. But the duty of IOs is to catch foreigners breaking the visa rules. They are not to blame. Hopefully the Belgian has enough funds to buy his ticket out of this country without rotting in the IDC hell hole too long.

Popular Post CharlieH Posted February 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 15, 2020 These "admin" crimes and the fanfair they make with these photo ops is sickening. Whats next cruising hospitals and the terminally ill, sorry, but they should put their resources and efforts into real criminals and those that impact society NOT someone whose paperwork is wrong etc. Thats all it is, an admin crime and there we have 3 officers for an admin issue, pathetic. 12 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not aware of any country in the world where immigration officers proudly stand for a photo shoot with their arrested elderly victim along with his walker. This practice should be an embarrassment to the Thai government but apparently they encourage it. ???? Probably something passed down from the Japanese to the Thais in World War II. Humiliate the Whites and show them who is on top, now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to say, but low hanging fruit like this guy is their level. Catching proper criminals is beyond them, especially when they most of them are either on the payroll to look the other way or are the actual criminals themselves. We are plumbing new depths daily in this country, all endorsed and encouraged by those running the circus. 6 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are castegating them for being a bunch of cretins that have to report this nonsense and brag about... and further suggest we are happier and safer because of it. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is part of the "Brave New World" 4.0. Promotion and self promotion through Facebook et al. Especially prevalent in govt. institutions. My (unanswered) question is where does this approach take society. No debate, no questions, no opinions; only checkboxes and affirmative replies. Even the lemmings are smart enough to stop before they reach the cliff edge. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

talahtnut Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 85 overstay is a flagrant flouting of the rules. However I suspect the photo op is their way of advertising the fact in the media that the rules have to be followed. Scary news travels. My mate is bedridden but managed to follow the rules. No rules and there would be chaos. At the moment we have no idea of how he is, lets hope he is given fair treatment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mango Bob Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 I wonder if they had a hard time arresting him. Looks like the very dangerous type. Must have needed at least 10 officers to take him down The look like a proud bunch of troopers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemonltr Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 China has stopped organised tours but many Chinese with funds are still coming to Thailand on VOR, keen to escape the virus. They probably will want extensions. Will they be granted if over the limit? Will we be seeing the smart car targeting Chinese? Maybe not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveK Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 (edited) 85 days overstay for this guy. He must be spending at least 1200 baht a day on accommodation, food, drinks, transport, medicines, doctors/hospital visits etc - that's 102,000 baht that Thailand is better off.

Even when caught I am sure that much funds at his fingertips could have greased the wheels of justice. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I qualify... and yet my monthly expenses don't exceed 20,000 baht / month (keeps accumulating in bank)... that includes a 3 bedroom house in a gated community, electricity for AC, food... no I do not go dumpster diving... I just don't have anything I need or want to spend money on right now. Edited February 15, 2020 by bkkcanuck8 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
