Yes, but extradition requests have to be very specific and countries receiving them do not have to agree to extradition to Thailand.  Just that he may have been spotted somewhere isn't enough.

Just how much do you actually know about the extradition process? You make a lot of statements as if you were an experienced criminal lawyer. You seem to be intent on shooting down any possibility of bringing him to account . What's your suggestion for so doing?

Vorayuth did not skip bail, the warrant for his arrest hadn't been presented at the time that he left Thailand.

 

"If Thailand has made a request regarding his presence in a foreign country then that foreign country is obliged to comply".

That's not correct.  If you're referring to an Interpol Red Notice being issued, they are advisory notices, nothing more.   There is no obligation on any Interpol member police force to act on them.

If you're suggesting that any country is obliged to arrest and deport/extradite any individual just at the request of another country, you're wrong there also.

My research says he was charged and released on a $16,000 bail bond. He then skipped.

 

"While Vorayuth later admitted to police that he had hit the policeman, he told investigators the man had abruptly cut in front of him. He was charged with reckless driving and failing to stop or inform authorities – a potential 10-year jail sentence – and released on 500,000-baht [£10,100] bail. It was unclear what the results of his blood alcohol test were."

Thanks for that, I may stand corrected but bear in mind that the article is from The Guardian!

I know enough about it to counter incorrect assertions made by people who don't know anything about it (not necessarily referring to you, of course).  Anyone who disputes my comments is free to query them and show that I'm wrong if they've got evidence that I am wrong. 

 

I'm not shooting down any possibility of his being brought to account, I'm just stating facts, how you interpret them is up to you.

Twice zero is still zero so suggest when you are proven wrong you man up and admit it, but still, guess that does not bring the clicks in does it ????

Doesn't matter, you were still wrong as clearly you didn't understand that he had skipped bail as @bradiston proved to you.

Expand  

Yes, and in my response to him I accepted that maybe I was wrong on that point!   By the way, I'm not taking anything away from him but he didn't prove anything, he quoted a Guardian (!) article.   Never has been the most reliable source!

Criminal convictions should be on a persons record so that it can be seen at immigration.... as far as I am concerned, they can be sent straight home. 

Expand  

It will be on their record,in the country they were convicted /home country. Are you saying you want Thailand (any countries) to have unfettered access to a foreign country’s police database ?

No, simply when a persons passport is scanned information about criminal convictions (say in the last decade) are flagged. Whether it comes with the passport or limited access to criminal records is a technical issue. You added 'unfettered' why exactly?

Perhaps revoking or suspending passports at country of issue is an alternative.

quality criminals (those who qualify for Long Term Visas) are quality tourists...criminals without money to invest are not quality tourists

I think you’ll find that contravenes data protection laws -access to sensitive information,especially of foreign governments is rightly tightly controlled. Revoking of passports for petty offences ??

Lived in Brazil for a while, they're known for lack of extradition treaties.  Every other week, or so it seemed, an extradition story would make the news, like this one.  Definitely judged on a case-by-case basis, most of the time it came down to "we don't want you either."  So, if you have some rascality in mind don't count on it, anywhere. 

Even 20+ years ago I would see some pretty scary characters around Soi Buakhao.

Which "made up scooter rules" are those?

Expand  

If you go to Phuket you will find out. No matter what documents you have on you, they will often ask for something else that carries an on the spot fine.

I was responding to your claim made on this forum, there's no need for me to got to Phuket to find out when, if it is true, you could just detail a couple of specific "made up scooter rules" that you have personally experienced.    I won't hold my breath.

There's been scary characters both Thai and foreigners in Pattaya since the Vietnam war. It is part of the charm.

Yes, they have enough of their own running the Thai government and police forces. Who needs the competition.
