vinci Posted November 3, 2023 Author Share Posted November 3, 2023 Quote if he has a ticket out at the airport they kind of know what to do and what the procedure is. don't say anything at the airport, just act like you don't know anything about it and do what they tell you. slim chance, but possible some busy officer just waves you through. good suggestion, I will keep that in mind when the time comes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's already been established by Tom Daniels some 15 hours ago so I don't know why you're still confused. All you need to do now is wait for the money transfer from the brother to clear and you're good to go. I hope you're adding on a nice little service fee for yourself instead of messing around with lawyers who are very unlikely to be able to overturn a ban. ฿20k would swing it for me.

There are no lawyers who will be able to help and no large brown envelopes. Your so called friend has and is acting like a child. He needs to man up and take his ban by leaving via the airport immediately. Then after his ban is served and he grows up a bit, maybe he can come back. 2 1 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If possible then you'll need to find a connect that has the juice with the right people, not some rando that's going to string you along for a couple hundred K. If homie was paying for it himself I'd say have at it just for laughs but if you or big bro have to stump for it then you're both crazy to even think about it. Sometimes tough love is the best kind of love. This is one of those times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bench at bus station. Mama noodles for brekkie. Visa waiver into Thailand Bus to Bangkok. At most a couple thousand baht. Or.........take the overstay, get buddy to fork over 20k for the fine and another 30k for flight home. That frees up 50k for hookers and blow. I have done the Malaysian border thing as many as 100 times over the years. It was my typical visa extension thing til 2004 when they restricted it. You can only do 2 runs per year these days. Also .a bribe is expected when back in Thailand. I repeat..the guy is broke and using whatever little money he has for food etc Visa runs are a luxury if you are in such a predicament 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say, if you had a child here at school who was born in Thailand to a non Thai mother and the child couldn't get Thai citizenship and you were unable to take your Child out of Thailand . The Mother then moved on and didn't want to take care of the child , so you were unable to get a long term visa or stay in Thailand . So you would have the option of either overstaying or putting your Child in a orphanage and then leaving Thailand . I would overstay in that situation 2 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
