The link says he entered Thailand 3 times and his 'Visa' expired early January.... he was on overstay. Not sure when he first ran from Europe or came to Thailand but no mention of an ED Visa.

NotReallyHere Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 (edited) If he really wanted to disappear, was it smart to go to Pattaya? I suspect Pattaya is where the police start any search for Farang criminals. Edited February 23, 2023 by NotReallyHere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purdey Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Am puzzled, why do people think they can hide in Thailand? Is it possible when hotels update the police who is staying, overstay or not? Passports are needed for so many things here. Renting a room without identity must be hard. I really don't understand how they expect to stay anonymous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it appears criminals can enter quite easily, and despite the odd news articles of them being caught, I suspect there are many more simply getting on with living. The other factor, is often when they are caught, it is not by police efforts, more often somebody reports them, and there are many years of overstay on their record. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
