This suggests that immigration was immediately aware of his outstanding arrest warrant as soon as he contacted immigration.

A hint that our data are all right there in their system. But we still have to regularly write them down, or send them to Immigration again and again...

Good for you. I do the same.

Unlike some on these forums, I liken dressing down for an immigration visit to poking snakes with a stick. It's really not worth the risk.

If this creep is guilty of what they say, I doubt he even has a collared shirt to wear to immigration.

Myself being British, I would think that no British chap would be seen dead in those shorts, and the leg art does point towards the USA....????

Indeed.

He was going to immigration in Bangkok dressed like that?

The mind boggles. Never should be allowed entrance then maybe the cops could not find him that day. I would not wear that ensemble to the beach maybe to take out the garbage before sunrise

The real reason for his arrest. John Doe violates dress code. At least he should have washed his legs.

The American guy needs some lessons in body language etiquette when under arrest. His hand on his drink when charges are being explained to him as well as his hands in his pockets while being photographed do not convey respect, contrition, or an appreciation of the charges he is facing.

I don’t think he cares about etiquette

It's always good to hear if a criminal got caught! ????

If a foreigner is wanted for a crime , wouldn't immigration be informed and told to apprehend him if he tries to leave the Country ?

It is a criminal matter from the report he committed criminal property vandalism.

Just another loser who gives Falang a bad reputation.  Hope they deport him.

 

Maybe he was stressed by his property being taken over by the ex, and not a leg to stand on

Or to his trial. The court will be impressed.

Why didn’t the police simply go his place of residence to arrest him?  They should have that information on his TM 30, I ask sarcastically ????

He had left his place of residence and moved to BKK

And the picture taken for the hall of fame board at the police station?

I assume from your amazement that you don't visit Immigration, the modes of dress are often weird and wonderful, which is why Immigration Jomtien at one time issued a dress code, don't know if it's still valid. Will admit that I tend to wear more formal attire (long pants/trousers and polo shirt) when I visit Immigration.

Pattaya, Phuket and Samui I know are more relaxed, but Bangkok is renowned for a dress code

Probably wont need to extend his visa then.

John seems to have made some very poor sartorial decisions throughout his life.

 

There are several indicators in the mug shots.

 

I just wish we had a closeup photo of his tattoos.

I once saw a guy that I knew get turfed away from Jomtien for wearing a "wifebeater" vest. He was a body building type and liked to show off his muscles. He cam back 15 minutes later in a white shirt which he bought up on Beach Rd. Don't know if they still have the same policy, but I too always wear longs and a smart shirt with collar. Doesn't hurt to do it once a year to get something from them that they have and I really want.

There are well cut branded bermudas shorts too. With a polo or long-sleeved linen shirt

"American"

 

In reality is a squat, little brown man of Guatamalan descent. 

 

 

He is the exact image of a person when I think "American" and he definitely is not just Hispanic, and a major loser covered in ugly tattoos. Having an American passport means nothing, he is technically American but looks more like an MS-13 gang member from El Salvador. You know, just the typical American.

[RT555]

The tattoos tell all......ban him for life from Thailand.

He is American, but could be  British or even French... About time they remove the visa exempt admissions and require a criminal & employment record before issuing visas. 

Never. They allow builders, lawyers, and business owners into the country even with felony convictions and having served time for murder!  The baht talks.

When you’re born or raised in America, you’re encouraged to be or do ANYTHING you want anywhere you want. Poor guy was probably just exercising his “rights” as an American to wreak havoc and cause damage.

B.S.  Only for Frat boys....regular Americans have parents who beat the crap out of us if we acted stupid.  Trust me.

More like Bermudas. That's why his triage was so difficult.
