Russian/French tourists among three arrested for overstay/immigration offences on Koh Phangan

[orchidfan]

Col. Superprick.

Certainly livng up to his name!

Isn't it just sheer laziness not to renew your visa? 

[HandsomeTallFarang]

What is with the weird, staged posing like that in that photo? ???? Do they want extra praise or something for doing their job? They look like they are standing by, waiting to receive the Medal of Honor.

 

Also, how humiliating for anyone who gets caught on an overstay. Just making you sit there while they all pose around you, like you are some prized trophy fish just caught out of the water. 

 

That said, no sympathy for the pillocks and begpackers getting deported. Come back after the blacklist expires with a real visa ????

Visas cannot be renewed.

Knowing how spectacularly corrupt many immigration officials are, somehow this does not seem to have much to do with "keeping Thailand safe". 

 

You really are concerning yourselves with safety? Go after those involved in human and sex trafficking, slavery, drug smuggling, and the fairly useless highway patrol who refuse to patrol the highways.

"Colonel Suphraprik said this was all part of keeping Thailand safe and both Thais and foreign lawbreakers were on his radar."

 

How's about having a blitz on people with guns without a licence? Oh, sorry  - too dangerous - better stick to tourists on overstay enjoying themselves - that'll "keep Thailand safe"!

[Formaleins]

Just waiting for them to pull out a machete and hack his head off!

 

 

[sambum]

Oh, yes, I feel much safer now that this despicable and dangerous criminal mastermind has been apprehended! ???? Surprised that the "pointing finger" hasn't been used to show which is the "bad guy"!

Read this forum.... all the questions asking for agents etc

 

So many forum members themselves are also doing the same thing and ‘buying themselves’ a way around the immigration rules... 

 

And... IF Thai Elite is not ‘exactly buying our way around immigration rules’ then... 

 

 

Don’t hate the player, hate the game !!!  - Immigration, want things exactly this way - its how they make some money !!... 

Richard, you are so smart! Have you also found a solution?

[Call]

Good guys in, bad guys out! 

That´s how it works here ????

Well at least Alexander didn't miss any meals while on overstay.

 

 

He found the Thai cuisine much better than a cold bowl of borscht.

It would have been a better photo if the four cops held AK47s across their chests. I wonder where they found the nice blue table cloth.

He asked for people with tips to call Surat Thani immigration on 07 738 0881/2 or contact the local immigration website. 

So not on his radar exactly?

Of course, that's the way I did it. I paid the 5 year entrance fee a couple of times so far and no hassles at all.

An IDC will need to be built especially for the Russians soon.

They are not in a rush to go home.

Asylum is normally based on humanitarian principles. Does the Thai government honor anything like that? They sure sent alot of Burmese refugees back, who were fleeing their serial killing, madman army.

Samui and Koh Pha Ngan are full of foreigners on overstay or incorrect visas - many are operating shonky massage or healing operations. some are working gyms - all think they are above the law and most serve no benefit except their own

I don't know for sure but I suspect the number of Russians that are here illegally to avoid getting drafted into the Army will be a significant problem.

A Russian named Alexander M. had overstayed by 29 days.

Thank goodness this dangerous criminal has been taken off the streets.

What is your problems with that?

Do you want innocent Russian citizens to participate in a war that they do not want?

 

When USA attacked Iraq and whatsoever, you talked like that about US people living here as well? 

 

Stop dividing people even more. People like you are the reason why this world is such a mess in the first place. 

Just another sanctimonious bigot practicing his favorite sport - denigrating others who are not like him.

Probably a factor. But the visa less and undocumented extend well beyond Russians. Lots of Brits working without permits  some are teaching, others claim to be "digital nomads" others are in the diving business and in gyms. Many are just arrogant enough to think they don't need to obey the laws in Thailand.
