The British suspect, who accidentally dropped a firearm in front of the venue, triggered a security alert that led to police intervention. On police arrival, he and his associates fled but were later captured. This British individual had a lengthy criminal record and past imprisonment in the UK for various offences.

 

 

Bit of a snaffu a farang dropping a firearm in front of a night club.  Hardly likely to able say. Whoops. Sorry guys. I do have a carry permit.  Here it is.

 

Why does Thailand issue visas to people with lengthy criminal records or are they all overstayers on transit visas?  They talk about wanting to get rid of foreign mafia types but seem happy to issue them more than tourist and transit visas in many cases.  Why not insist on home country criminal record like Thais have to produce to get longer stay visas to farang countries?

maybe if a girl has one small tattoo on her ankle, it's cute

but a body full of tattoos frightens me

I think they want to look scary, must be, as they look ugly as well, but they like to look powerful and scary which overides ugly

Curious as how someone could fraudulently empty your UK bank accounts unless it’s a joint account.

 

And a victim of assault by a Thai gets blacklisted and deported?  Was that the only incident or did you do something else to cause the deportation?

Blacklisted and deported normally require a fairly serious offense.

 

Things are looking brighter now.

 

 

Legal written authority given to a, then, trusted third party, to access one account for the sole purpose of transferring specific funds to pay for my appointed lawyer but the bank gave full access to all my accounts and allowed the third party to transfer all funds to his own account.   

 

No other incident other than being assaulted at my rented home but, because I refused to pay the attending police officer 100,000 baht, I was handcuffed and my home was ransacked by the police while I watched.  I was left in a police cell without food or water for 3 days before being taken to court with charges trumped up by the RTP stating that I assaulted neighbour.

No it's not in Thailand. How many times have you seen news articles of Thais who have been arrested and not convicted being photographed reeanacting a crime scene for gawkers. They regularly show the faces of crime suspects. I worked at the Bangkok Post. This is definitely not a law or policy in Thailand's news organizations. .

Yes, it is their right, if they choose not to be initially identified.  That is why many photos show those accused individuals who are paraded before the press hiding their faces or their being obscured, they are not forced to show their faces, neither are they prevented from hiding them.  Faces of the accused shown in crime re-enactments in the media are always hidden (masks, dark glasses hats, whatever) in media photos.

Parallel incidents include another Australian man's arrest in Phuket in March for overstaying his visa and attempting to dodge a hospital bill following a motorcycle accident.

 

Moreover, another Australian was detained the same month for stealing a motorcycle from a Koh Samui rental shop and travelling with it to Koh Pha Ngan. 

Definitely in the same league as being part of an armed criminal gang.

I was blacklisted and deported > 5 years ago after being assaulted by a drunken Thai neighbour.  

 

While being held at a regional prison and IDC BKK, recuperating from a life threatening lung infection, my UK bank accounts were fraudulently emptied and I was left in debt by tens of thousands.  When deported, I lodged with my son and his family for a few months until healthier and then with ex-military friends for nearly 2 years.  

 

I was then fortunate enough to be allocated a tiny council bedsit during the Covid pandemic during which time I was almost totally reliant on charity to survive.  I spent 12-15 hours a day pursuing my own legal action against the bank because the authorities, including police and judiciary, were about as much use as a chocolate fireguard providing no help to recover my stolen funds.  Later, I managed to get a low paid job working from home for 2 years, during which time I won my case against the bank and recovered about 75% of my savings.  

 

During that time, I also appealed against the RTP immigration decision and, after their rejection, my case was filed with the Administrative Court and has been pending a hearing for nearly 2 years.  Another legal avenue is also being pursued.  

 

I receive the State Pension and, due to a divorce, half a military pension so am comfortable and currently residing in Cambodia with my Thai partner.  

Cheers for the openness. Good luck, mate. Is it easy getting long term stay right in Cambodia? I mean, after all, both you and your partner are foreigners there.

A bit impractical given the millions who come here but perhaps home countries might flag wanted criminal's passports.

Immigration Bureau officers have detained an Australian man in Pattaya amid allegations of involvement in his home country's crimes and mafia gang connections in Thailand.

 

The man, identified only as Grey, was apprehended at his luxury residence following suspicions linking him to a foreign mafia group operating in Phuket. Details about the gang remain scarce.

 

The breakthrough in Grey's case was publicly disclosed during a press conference on 5th June. His arrest stems from previous events involving a British man who sparked an investigation in November last year after a mishap with a gun at a Phuket nightclub.

 

The British suspect, who accidentally dropped a firearm in front of the venue, triggered a security alert that led to police intervention. On police arrival, he and his associates fled but were later captured. This British individual had a lengthy criminal record and past imprisonment in the UK for various offences.

Grey managed to evade immediate capture following some gang members' exodus from Thailand post-British suspect's arrest.

 

Continuous probes into his activities revealed multiple drug charges pending against him in Australia. Grey moved from Phuket to Pattaya, believing he might elude the intensified scrutiny but was ultimately caught by authorities.

 

Parallel incidents include another Australian man's arrest in Phuket in March for overstaying his visa and attempting to dodge a hospital bill following a motorcycle accident.

 

Moreover, another Australian was detained the same month for stealing a motorcycle from a Koh Samui rental shop and travelling with it to Koh Pha Ngan. 

 

These arrests highlight the ongoing efforts of Thai authorities to clamp down on foreign criminals exploiting the country as a hideout.
