10/10  well done that man!!

[dingdongrb]

I'm guessing his 'disruptive' behavior is what got him caught. I wonder what he did to gain the unwanted attention?

Nice run Monsieur, too bad you got caught because those Canadienne winters are really going to hurt after that long in the tropics.

 

I suppose he'll try Cambodge next, if they'll let him in with his 10-year ban from Thailand.

could be something very petty, Ive found local villagers like to complain about almost everything they perceive ive done, from planting a  bush on a  bend saying its dangerous to stop people driving into my  wall ( twice) when the whole road is  overgrown to the point its almost single  track to cutting down of  trees  "illegally" and the forestry dept  coming out and finding  nothing except wasting their time + a  few other nonsense things.

The Thais have taken down the Foot Volley ball net in our Government Housing Village which the Myanmar workers played on. How petty.

Translation from Siam Rath article:
"MR.CHRISTIAN VEILLEUX likes to drink alcohol, act violently. He regularly quarrels and hits the woman he lives with. There has been physical harm to each other."

 

41 year old loser. With a 10 year ban from Thailand there's still time to try and get his act together back home. But I doubt he will.

"Tabernacle" would be more appropriate, as it is French Canadian.

The French part explains most of the behavior I guess lol. There is a lot French here that seem to live on a shoe string, I sometimes also wonder how many of them are X years on overstay already.

Yes, I was just going to comment that in 8 years the 90 day report worked exceptionally well.

[brianthainess]

I wonder how he funded his 8 yr stay? 

[ryandb]

You can tell from the blurred pic the dude has an alcohol issue, but how exactly was he funding his stay if he's been here 8 years and is 41 unless he got in early on BTC.

 

Anyways sure he will somehow find his way back to Vietnam, Cambodia, PH etc.

If you want to over stay, keep your head down and mouth shut...

In the second photo do I see a little effort at pointing?

It looks like a one legged immigration officer was very pleased with himself 🤔

I am thinking some do it due to no other option, eg you miss your 90 day for what  ever reason, then you can't do your annual extension etc etc etc 

[transam]

Dump the shorts, mon ami, those days are over..........🥶

[stoner]

Low intelligence. 

[TheFishman1]

How do you over upstairs live here like eight years and I go to my bank and ask my passport etc. etc.

[balo]

Loser is the only word I can describe him.    Bye for good. 
 

[NativeBob]

There are more and more overstayers IMHO this days than say 10-15 years ago: draconian visa regulations, 500thb/day fines and long bans leave no option than just say "sc*ew it all, I'll stay over!" 
Plus corruption of course. 

8 years? How about one huge brit who came to LOS in 2005? and in 2016 his son arrived works as a teacher in BKK? Not  a single complain though

Yes, I thought Canadians were like the north American version of Kiwis: quiet, sweet, law-abiding.
