I'm going to start claiming back some of the money from the fines.

[Chris Daley]

I recently got a 10,000 baht visa fine and I'm always looking for new ways to claim the money back.  Maybe eat at restaurant and walk away without paying?  Fill up the tank and drive off?  Drop the GPA by 1 of 200+ students.  Steal the toilet paper in public toilets?  Or just littering more.  Anything to even out the balance.

 

How do you deal with being fined and scammed on almost a monthly basis?

What was the visa fine for?

Like a man by accepting I broke the rules, not like some churlish child by penalising any Thai that I can.

What is a visa fine? Possibly working without the proper documentation? Are we supposed to understand your post. 

[freeworld]

What was the 10000 baht fine and if other fines for?

 

Some of your suggested recovery options are not legal and you may find yourself in more trouble than a fine.

 

How to deal with fines? make oneself aware of the rules and follow the rules and laws of the land.

[stoner]

yes i too would like to know how one incurs a 10 000 visa fine. whatever the f that may be.

If I ever had that feeling, I'd leave Thailand. It really is that easy, I'm in Thailand by choice.

 

Without telling us more, we can only speculate why you ended up being fined 10,000 baht. So I'll speculate. Sounds like an overstay fine; either you failed to leave on time (your responsibility) or to get the paperwork for your extension on time (could be your responsibility, or that of your employer). Please explain who scammed you.

If I would be you......I would see a doctor 😂🎄

Sell covered calls on COIN.

 

Or how about avoiding what you got fined for to start with.

Don't break the rules🤔

[ChaiyaTH]

I consider these the 'social taxes' I pay, those are also the only taxes I will pay.

[roo860]

And still no reply from the OP.

Change your attitude maybe

[Gottfrid]

Just another topic, that has been left after the OP can answer what the fine was for. There is no visa fine that can amount to even 10k baht, more then overstaying 50 days. In that case you would have been shown the door.

Moreover, if you are being fined every month, you will never reach the amount of 10k baht.

I just break down and cry. 

[Thailand]

I would guess that as there was no answer to questions about the original post this is just another one of those  multiple troll posts from the usual suspects that is only good for click bait.

[Wuvu2]

I agree, I too am sending a clear message to Immigration. I liter often, urinate in public, and rip off the cart vendors as often as possible

The one thing I do not do is punish innocent people who have nothing to do with immigration's policies and actions.

I don't (get scammed monthly), certainly not by immigration. Sure, been overcharged here and there and it is annoying when it happens, Thais regularly get shafted too, but it is what it is and I wouldn't try to recoup losses by targeting random people.

I know a guy who once got a 10,000 baht (cash) fine for being under the influence, which he wasn't, he paid up after being threatened to be put in jail.

 

I asked him if he was pi$$ed and off, of course and his reply was, I will just put it down to being in the wrong place at the wrong time and he had already let it go.

 

He said once in 7 years was ok, taking a wrong turn wasn't supposed to happen, but giving into them was better than taking them head on, game over, he won as he said, a fine back in his country was about the same amount for speeding, which he wasn't, but he speeds on many occasions and hasn't been caught, so given them some charity money (tea money) meant that he got to move on, no point in crying over spilt milk, especially when in a country that has had this system for a while, so why challenge it, life's too short.

 

Wise friend he is.

[BenStark]

Just look at the OP's topics and posts for the past few months, then realize he is a teacher somewhere in a Thai school, where your child may be a student

Do the right thing and you won't get fined.

Can't really remember last time I got scammed.  After the first few times, I'm a quick learner.  Those simply vendors, overcharging, all folks or farang price.  Easily & quickly sorted to avoid reoccurring.

 

Do things correct & legal, usually keeps you free from being scammed, from 'officials', if that was the case.

 

All you suggestions of 'getting back' simply makes you a scammer of the innocents.  Pretty sad state actually.  

 

Might want to check you morality gauge, as running a bit low I think.

Learn by any mistakes as any adult would... 

Not respond in juvenile and immature manner suggested in the Op, as any normal intelligent adult would...

A 20 day overstay would be 10,000 baht (20x 500 baht).

 

 

Now the Op clearly is rather unintelligent & with his lack of clarity its impossible to know for sure what his 'visa fine' is for... 

Perhaps he meant 'overstay' but lacks the simple vocabulary to state this.

He's probably 'working' without a correct work permit, they will come and shake him down every now and again.

 

I've seen this kind of thing before involving someone I know - they are out to get you, working undercover and attempting to catch you out doing the most mundane things which might not be 100% described on your work permit but in the same place of work, etc.

 

For example if you're a chef and you accept someones payment which is a cashiers job - they will wait until there's no staff around and then ask to pay, all undercover looking like a regular customer, then the badge comes out and the money changes hands.

 

They hate us all and will go to extreme lengths to make problems. Best to remember that.
