We, the normative people sweat our blood every year to arrange the money and the documents to extend our visas but it was not touching her.

Wow... and that's normal...

Why did immigration suddenly notice her after all these years?

  Does someone want her "out the way" ?

How did her Husband die ?

What will happen to their business ?

Who will inherit it ?

15 years in business so probably profitable.

A case that I am familiar with, in Europe, had vulture asset strippers flying in already same day.

They stand to attention as if it the crime of the century. I can understand she is a danger to the innocent public NOT. i hope she ok and treat her well. Who knows why she did not get a visa i would think it would be complicated for her.  

I guess she is more important than the drunk driver who killed a police sergeant…..was his name Johnny Walker, or maybe Red Bull….it’s been so long it’s hard to remember. Feel sorry for the lady. Something fishy about the story being picked up on the beach. But I’m sure Interpol is tracking him down as we speak…..now there is a real threat to the Thai police driving around drunk mowing down cops and blaming the butler.

Absolutely, tragically, unbelievably inhuman: this is a real endorsement of the regard with which very many Thais (particularly those in positions of authority) see foreigners - no compassion or sympathy at all.

 

I'm 100% certain that no Thai official would publicly humiliate an elder Thai person who's just been bereaved like this. and who is obviously grieving, lost and confused.

Bet she would jump if she heard the rustle of a plastic bag behind her.

Someone said something to the powers to be for sure.maybe they want the business the husband had.Anyway a long overstayer found and now bye bye thailand forever

Good luck to her. As for the snitches...well that's one less foreigner who will be spending money and generating jobs and business in the kingdom, so well done.

The Immigration Boss should be hanging his head in shame not plastering this all over the news.

The system is obviously broken or was never fixed in the first place.

Do they really have any idea of just how many overstayers there are?

Dob in the wrong person & get a bounty on your head,,,,,,no thanks

How the heck can anyone end up on 4,165 days of overstay? 

She obviously never caused a problem to raise attention so please show some compassion.

I wonder what her mental state is I have a neighbor who lost her husband within the last six months we had to call the police and have a wellness check at least three or four times maybe someone was just helping her out if she wasn’t acting right

That picture doesn't look right to me. Where is the obligatory big poster showing all the details of the arrest?

and why is there no pointing in the picture ?    Are these  genuine police officers ?

 

These guys deserve a bonus for nabbing her. Who knows what she is? She could be a Mexican drug lord. She could be a Hungarian weapons dealer. She could be a Chinese child trafficker. Maybe she's an Italian mobster. One thing we do know is that she ain't some innocent old lady. Look at how her hands clutch her purse. She's a hardened criminal through and through. Book her Dan-O!! Cue the music and credits.

I'm sure Thailand will do the right thing by her. I wonder if anyone contacted her family in Hungry

I understand that Immigration will contact her Embassy here in Thailand with a request for her Department of Interior to contact any Family she may have in her home Country, who will then ask the relatives if they will pay for her repatriation.  If the answer is no, then the Thai Government will pay the bill.  In the mean time, she will languish in jail on Koh Samui.

It is a good indication of the hassle to get your "stay" documents in orders..

90 days reporting, the hassle with money in the bank, running to immigration every year..  always documents and always fees. 

 

things were different in 2009... and especially staying in a small island. quite difficult to keep up the documents up to date.

 

if I recall, the penalty of overstay was Bht20k maximum.. but now , they put you on a black list.

 

the woman is probably running her husband business. Keep the economy going.

 

I guess they will hit her with a large tax bill too.

 

 

 

Sad.  This is very telling to anyone who has questions/thoughts about what to expect if they were to come to Thailand.  This may be the perfect ad of caution, and goes directly in opposition to what the media says Thai citizens want (eg. more visitors).  However as one post mentioned… it is very much in line with the “perpetual scam” culture the Govt naturally breads here as I have witnessed.  None the less, to even mention it is reflective of their Charecter, which IMPO is sad.

so 11 years and 7 months without the proper documents, doesn't say much for those guys on such a small island, hopefully they will take it easy on her...

Maybe they don’t allow cars so Agent BMW couldn’t do its duties ... 555

Because she has deliberately broken the rules. Do you really think there should be no laws at all for immigration?

I suspect that the rule-braking was due to her depressed state  rather than a deliberate illegal act

Naew Na urged the public to continue to call 1178 to report foreigners so that Thailand's security could be maintained. 

 

What is the number to call when a foreigner wants to report a Thai?

A real and present threat to security - the job security of immigration officers

Naturally taking the heat away from Anutin and Prayut for the failed Covid vaccination fiasco whereas there have been in excess of 13,000 deaths since April 1 2021.

 

The above said, I would have thought that those two clowns have been the biggest threat to national security with all those deceased due to their mismanagement. 

For catching this Hungarian woman the Thai police needs 3 officers. 

For asking the Thai military leader, where his billion/s of Baht come from, they cannot find anyone.

They don't have enough pampers for this job.

No, not right here. Big joke said that he had rid Thailand of overstayers.
