Lets lock up the company that rented the vans to him as well.  And the cops that took the bribes while certifying his company.

Renting out vans is not an offence, and since when do police "certify companies"?

yea right coz everyone arriving on a boat goes that route !   I think u need to think a little more out of the box ...... like crims do 

the life in the UK test is a piece of piss for anyone you can remember a few historical facts ..... as for the English test .... its beyond easy , and the institutions that the test is farmed out to have a vested interest in candidates passing .....  And I'm not basing this on hearsay but lived experience 

 

 

I am assuming you are talking about the very small tiny percentage that claim aslyum by arriving on boats. The UK had 600,000 legal immigrants last year (alot from Hong Kong and Ukraine, and alot of students that pay through the roof to study there). Around 3% came on boats to claim Asylum. 

 

Provided they are even succesful with their asylum application - they still have to go through the full process and long term path to get British citizenship. And yes that includes taking a life in the UK test, British language test, savings, and job earnings. Colonial links to the UK, from a time when the UK laundered those countries wealth, then needed that population to help them in two world wars is probably a reason why they have links to the UK. France also has a similar issue with many from Africa wanting to settle there. 

 

If you think the life in the UK test is easy, with such questions like what is the distance from the bottom of England to the top of Scotland, or who was the 10th century king of England then you are a well versed men. Most i know who do that test have studied very hard for it. No thick planks will pass it, and i doubt the vast majority of the UK population would even pass it without some form of revision. 

 

But let's not get in the way of your issue here. Every modern metropolsis in the world, from USA, Canada, Australia all require some forms of immigration. All these shiny buildings you see popping in Bangkok - i'll give you a clue they aren't built by the indigenous population.

When their finished with him they need to pass him over to the British Embassy to check out his so-called British passport.

Why?

A clear racist comment, that would get you in trouble in the UK.

** removed**  an idiom is not a racist comment.

 

Perhaps, but this is a news thread, not the pub.

"which converts to about 70,121.91 Baht."

Why use the word 'about' if you state every satang?

Because the amount changes constantly due to exchange rate fluctuations.

Ensuring tourist safety and the integrity of the tourism sector remains a top priority for Thai authorities.

Yet another self-entitled Brit who thinks he's above immigration laws. THe islands are getting swamped with them.

[it is what it is]

The Koh Phangan leg of the tour spanned days 5 to 8, with tourists provided free accommodation during their stay.

 

at 70k for the tour the accommodation obviously wasn't free. - who writes this stuff?

Getting to be a regular thing here in Thailand 🇹🇭 

 Brits in the news headlines been a busy week so far 😱

 

 

Due to the, British very liberal immigration laws for the last 40 years, many people identity with being British, but are not in the true sense of the word ,

 

They actually hate the British way of life, they want to change it to the way of life they fled from in the first place

How could any tourist manage this?

Basically don't buy any tour package from a foreigner... Thai people only.

Easily done inside Thailand but not if booking in advance from outside the country,  but then again names and bank account details should confirm where the monies going.

If he wins an Olympic medal, one calls him British. If he does a crime, one calls him Pakistani.

If he wins several Olympic medals he magically evolves from an illegal immigrant from Somalia into a Knight of the Realm!

He wasn't "posing" as a tour guide and running a "scheme", he was an actual tour guide, running tours. He was violating employment laws, but it doesn't sound like he was defrauding his customers.

His high prices sound like a rip off to me!
