Burma Bill Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 I have met "Big Oud" whilst working as a volunteer with the Tourist Police, and believe me he is not "big", being a rather short gentleman! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sead Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Irony in its purest form. How about cleaning up yourself before saying others are damaging Thailands reputation. You can say that you want to throw out bad guys. But the damaging thailand reputation thing you are doing is on your own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ratcatcher Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Judging by the number of high ranking officials and police special squad, you would think they had arrested the most dangerous criminal in S.E.Asia instead of a third world citizen on overstay. Maybe he was a ringleader in providing illegal substances? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When and how? Presumably they'll do what they always do, court, IDC and out of the country when flights are available. The "when" will be his problem that he's had five years to ponder about!

They can't just keep him in the chokey forever & a day. Why not? He's (apparently) a crook on a five-year overstay, IDC will look after him until Cameroon opens it's borders again and he can be deported, I'm sure.

The effect on improving Thailand's image might be much bigger Bear in mind that what is stated in the OP is written by Naew Na, which has a mocking tone to every article that it produces, not necessarily the police or the government.

Send him back to Cameroon? When and how? Exactly, totally bl@#dy pointless. Surely the bloody point is that a chronic over-stayer and suspected member of a criminal gang has been arrested and will face a court? Are you suggesting that criminals, foreign or not, should have their crimes ignored and be left to carry on as they like just because there are Covid-19 restrictions? If so, where would you draw the line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know Thailand won't pay for his flight & I can't see his government paying so does the fellow deserve life in a Thai jail just for over-staying & being too poor to buy a flight or bribe his way out? How many stories have we heard of rich Europeans, Americans not to mention local sons of the connected slip away after being arrested for murder, the most heinous of crimes?

clarky cat Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 They were working as english teachers at one of the smaller schools when I lived in Ban Phai, I used to see them in 7-eleven mostly. I always wondered why they were allowed to live there so long without immigration onto them, possibly the school was protecting them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
