Since the majority of police are on the take, you might be the one that ends up in jail. LOL. I personally think anyone that turns someone into the police for working is a complete ass.

The OP has not stated what the guy has done,only that he is a farang,if it is something regarding visa,overstay etc,and not harming anyone,then he should keep his nose out of it,or he could be found in the bottom of a Khlong with a pair of concrete boots,if he is a scoundrel,then the BIB are probably receiving an annuity from him...In Conclusion...Dont bite the hand thats feeding the BIB.........TIT.

I have very good reasons and it's not just my personal concern. Not about online workers or a poor man feeding his children or a 30k baht teacher or anything like that don't worry..

Ask yourself:

1. Do you like living in Thailand?

2. Do you want to live the rest if your life looking over your shoulder?

TIT.

PS: Its hard enough for Farangs living in Thailand with all the Bureaucracy,it takes a special kind of A$$ole to grass up his own in a foreign country.

My advice....ZIP IT ????????????

True, but I'm not sure they would accept a report of an illegal foreigner in Thailand, unless of course he was wanted on a serious rap in the UK. 

There is no mention from the OP of the guy's nationality!!!

Nobody likes a grass, and your name WILL get out unless even if you tip off the plod anonymously or via a Thai proxy.

 

Personally, unless I'm directly affected I'm just keeping schtum.

 

If you really feel that strongly head off to the cop-shop with the relevant details and file a report, if they act on it or not is then up to them.

But be prepared to move House.

Yes, true. In fact I believe the guy might be registered here that's why I'm not disclosing the circumstances.

You may be better off just writing a bad review on his business...oh wait, maybe not.

Nothing to do with 'grassing'... in these dangerous times dose Thailand need unchecked and undocumented people running around putting the county under siege not knowing who they are or where they come from while others have to endure weeks of quarantine?...

 

And just who would you ' hazard a guess at '  in these dangerous times is letting them and allowing entry to unchecked and undocumented people running around the country?

 

Why try to be ' holier than thou? ' There is plenty of anti foreigner sentiment running around the country already without his sixpence worth.

 

If, as a foreigner, you know anything going on regards economic migrants or illegal foreigner activity, I will guarantee the Thais know already and if they know, it won't be long before the keystone cops that parade as a police force, know as well.

 

All their so called police "intelligence" comes from informants.

The immigration police are always very interested in information on foreigners working illegally and will take action and investigate . Go directly to immigration.

[KhunFred]

I am more likely to HELP them, rather than report them. Local restaurant owners hire Laotians and Cambodians at sub-minimum wage and pay for their visa. As long as this situation exists, you will always have "illegal" workers.

Unless you end up reporting the culprit to the same immigration police that turned a blind eye and let them in in the first place, in which case the immigration police will be looking at the person that did the informing and removing them the first chance they get for being a troublemaker!

 

This is Thailand!

That's why I opened the topic, thanks for the answer. I wanted to know if it's worth going to Police and the answer seems like no. They won't care. But immigration will.

 

I already said this, but : I'm not concerned about a Thai business, some poor Burmese, an online worker, a poor Falang teacher or doing it for personal revenge, so don't worry good people of the TVF.

I know a packaging company at Samut Prakan that employs mostly Cambodians and organizes their work permits and actually pays a good wage for ' Cambodian labour ' but sure, their hours are long shifts and unsociable and the work is hard graft. The Cambodian lads save money by all living together and sharing food and rent but all are earning around 15K a month.

 

The Thai owner even took them to Pattaya for New Year in times gone by and is a reasonable boss by Thai standards, and the reason he does this, is he cannot get many reliable Thais who are prepared to do the work.

Why? I'm directly affected by his illegal activity. That's exactly what I would call "my business". So many scared people here.

Why? Because I'm not a snitch who's spying on what other foreigners are doing.
There's already so much hate coming from locals that we don't need to blackmail each other. 

 

You wrote that he's working, not dealing drugs.

 

We live in difficult times and I don't care if somebody has a farm, sells chicken,  teaches kids, or anything else that can be considered as work. 

 

It's not my business and it shouldn't be yours. My 2 baht.

Most farangs in Thailand would "grass up" their own. I have personally been extorted by a fellow farang. Most of the expats I have met here are trash.

There is one near me, has an illegal working for him, A; he has no work permit B; he is in cohorts with a cop,   the only person to end up in trouble would be the girl working for him. Leave it alone as the cops could be on his pay roll too, not a good idea trying to cut off their income.

[brianthainess]

Just a suggestion; If it is the spread of covid that is your concern, find your local health volunteer, and tell them of your concerns, they would probably go and check them, without involving the cops.

Any more issues on this topic and it will be closed.

I agree with @Crossy, i.e. unless you're directly affected, and will add what my lawyer always say: "It's best if it's a Thai reporting to the police".

Instead of riddles, why don't you just say what the person is doing illegal?

 

Go ahead, I can feel the vibe, you are dying to tell us all.

 

Stop keeping us all in suspense. What was he doing? Going maskless in a shopping mall? Buying beer in Buddhist lent?
