shackleton Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Will this be a record of overstay or will a new record breaker come forward In due time ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunpa Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Pretty amazing overstay. I don’t understand how he could manage. Find myself in constant situations were I have to show my passport and visa (like hotels, flights etc.) Guess you need either a fake visa/passport or not move around too much during an overstay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker88 Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Such a dichotomy for TAT...at 42 million baht, he kind of qualifies as a "Quality Tourist", but the excessive overstay means he will likely be banned until Hell freezes over + 1 day.

KCM3 Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 These stories never fail to amaze, especially given the constant worries over annual renewals and 90 reporting and TM30 etc on this site. One wonders why we bother…. Oh yea, we are not criminals. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not so sure. It makes foreigners feel unwelcome and reassures Thais that we are being treated harshly. That's quite likely the main aim. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These stodgy vinyl board displays have gotten really old. How about weekly episodes of “Catch the Overstay”? It would make for great reality TV with evil foreigners intent on harming the good name of Thailand..... outwitted by brave, patriotic, incorruptible Thai cops.

Stargeezr Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I bet that this guy did not do the 90 day reporting and maybe his stolen money was finally running out, or he bragged too much to the wrong person who told the police to check if this guy was wanted anywhere. I hope Hungary has a nice jail cell waiting for his return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
