You make yourself look very silly some times immigration. So, what is more silly, just because it´s 5 or 2 500 days? You still know you need a valid visa in Thailand, right? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydebolle Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 OK, once you brought him to the gallows for the public to spit and throw manure at random, you might want to continue the good work by nailing down all those rich kids murdering police officers on duty - the Red Bull darling springs to mind! What a farçe, five officers in full gear .......... throw him out of the country and, if it pleases their semi-divine ego, ban him for life but - for heaven's sake - stop pretending that anyone is doing a job in the interest of people and country! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soi3eddie Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 There are quite a few travellers who just are not the full ticket and should stay at home. Fair play to this guy but he's learnt the hard way that there rules and they must be followed. No mention in the op or full story as to whether he was entitled to an extension or if he had used all easy options already. Guess he won't be back in Thailand for a while. Sod going back to the UK winter right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more likely that it didn't "take five" to catch him, much more likely that they were all doing their job patrolling when they bumped into him appearing furtive.

None of those offences that you specify have "gone unnoticed", nor not dealt with, they are reported frequently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
