Interesting, so that is what you do? You report once a year and pay  a fine? (2000/4000 baht) - how often have you done that?

Last 2 years 

 

I should add 3 years ago I also did not report and left Thailand at the last month of my extension expiry. When i returned and did new extension no one noticed I did not report.

Twice. After being stupid for 8 years.

I am not sure about only 8 years. Stupidity can have a long shelf life.

I only go to Samui immigration once a year (for the annual photo - 10 minutes) and I pay no fines.

so what's the process - is this on Samui?

You go in after a year to exrtend your visa (O or B?) and then they say "OK give us 4000 baht"?

Yes, but he's dim, you're not.

and one day they say:

'you keep ignoring the rules and disrespecting our law, so off back from whence you came, after a brief but uncomfortable stay in our detention center'. 

 

It's an incredibly stupid and irresponsible  way for him to conduct himself here, especially as reporting online is so easy, but perhaps its too difficult for this mate to understand.
