Blueberries are cheap though. I tend to agree. Finland(and finns, no disrespect) seems, despite the benefits of the social system, painfully to live in. It gives me a laugh, always, when I hear reports about happiest countries & people in the world, like Denmark and Finland, which, of course, and please pardon my french, is a complete BS. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The women made it bearable for me in Scandinavian countries, especially when wearing a kilt. Danish women are certainly more beautiful than British, or Thai ones. Probably as the Vikings stole all the quality women and left the ugly ones behind. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all due respect, even german women look better than british, I dare to say, even some of my childhood mates looked better than a british gal. As for the danish women. They are ok, but swedish are far prettier. But cannot compare with Central and Eastern Europe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she was a victim of human trafficking she shouldn't be sent to prison for a month or banned from the Schengen countries for 5 years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StayinThailand2much Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 If she were Danish, and overstayed like this in Thailand, and caught, she'd be thrown into a dirty cell together with 30-40 other people, and blacklisted, before being sent back. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess in first world countries, however, the cost of detaining somebody for any length of time would probably be greater than the cost of purchasing a flight for them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't think that might have come up in the court hearing, if that was the situation? Also how does losing ones passport causes you to get stranded in a country for years? It complicates things, you have to visit an embassy, but it doesn't prevent you from leaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, you are a first world guy! Dear Sir, nice to meet you. It was a pleasure. Just two things more. How can you be in or have an interest in such a low culture and lesser class of a country like Thailand? Isn´t that below you as a first world citizen? (The cost is greater to keep people detained for Thailand too, but they are doing the right thing! People that do not care about the rules and laws in a foreign country they come to, should feel the punishment of incarceration and digging for freedom in their own wallets.)

People on this forum really like to argue about anything, huh? I personally don't believe it wise to cut off your own nose just to spite your face, nor do I believe in the practice of trying to extract blood from a stone. Detaining somebody in the country, who you want out of the country, at cost to the taxpayer makes little logical sense in my view. 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you propose? Life. or the death penalty? In Thailand the fine for overstay is 500 Baht per day, reaching a maximum fine of 20,000 Baht It's just a visa infraction, a fine should be more than enough and then send her on her way. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the later then no wonder she is happy to return home. If the first then well hopefully she made some serious cash to return with. My wife's niece went to Denmark (and South Korea) for a massage company a couple of years ago. They send them with tourist visas that usually last for six months. They seem to be quite well organised for an illegal activity and the girls go willingly. They get a proportion of the money they earn but I am told that most of them do it more for the "extras". Apart from the usual tips they often get gifts and potential husbands. The niece said that if twelve girls went then there were always some that don't return, finding a mug..... I mean lover to take care of them. She had several proposals of marriage and came back from South Korea with three different diamond engagement rings. It doesn't work for all of them and girls have been known to disappear. The niece was given a hard time when the family found out what she had been doing and won't be off again any time soon! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the latest World Happyness Report : Denmark is ranked second, after Finland.South Korea is way down, 61st in the world.Thailand holds an honorable 54th place on the list...so, using an aristotelian syllogism, we might say, if she does not want to return to Thailand, obviously the gal is considering Denmark. Perhaps Finland, depending her relation to blueberries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a thai, is very difficult to adapt in a cold, unfriendly and dark country as Denmark. Even worse, if she was living in a Jutland.That place is a <deleted>hole. Many years ago I paid the airfare for my fiance's mother to return to Thailand from Hungary. Basically she wasn't being paid, had her passport taken off her etc. I think she had gone over there to work as a cook/chef. Thai (and Indian etc) people's experiences overseas can be way less enjoyable than ours are in Thailand! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of our newer prisons here in Denmark are crazy good when it comes to the "cells" Try and scroll down a little to see one of the cells in one of the new prisons. https://www.bt.dk/politik/rystet-over-forhold-i-nyt-faengsel-det-er-dybt-stoedende Personally I'm not a fan of inmates having such cells. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not everyone is welcomed in the world's happiest nation. Daneland has an army? When did this happen? That’s one of them Belgium-esque non-countries that hasn’t really done much for the world, innit? ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
