The operation focused on the popular tourist destinations of Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, and Koh Tao, reported Siam Rath. As the operation continued across all three islands, authorities captured several foreign nationals illegally residing in the kingdom, with expired visas or without any legal permissions. In total, three foreigners were apprehended for overstaying their visas, including: Mr. Martin E., a 48-year-old German national, overstayed by 34 days and resided in Koh Samui, Surat Thani. Ms. Basak K., a 37-year-old Turkish national, overstayed by 36 days and resided in Koh Phangan, Surat Thani. Mr. Matthias S., a 46-year-old German national, overstayed by 58 days and resided in Koh Tao, Koh Phangan, Surat Thani.

After case processing, they will be deported to their home countries and blacklisted from entering the kingdom again.

Smokey and the Bandit Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Whilst obviously these three people did overstay and commit a crime, why do they insist on parading them in front of the camera? The woman sitting down with 4 officers behind her is just absurd and a waste of time! If it was a drugs bust and they showed the perp with the all drugs etc, then that would be different! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if you read the article, it's to raise public awareness, overstay and you are plastered all over the news, name, age, gender, country of origin, and any other sordid details they have on you. It is to discourage overstay init. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
