He's traveling with a bigger suitcase than most women.  Fancies himself a bit of a model and needs the clothes?

Some people actually have grooming standards compared to the typical Knuckle Dragging Farang Expat in his food/sweat stained Chang vest that completely gave up once they arrived in Thailand or better yet, they never had it in the first place.

Meanwhile, Thai authorities are likely to proceed with legal actions that could involve extradition or trial within the country.

 

Why would he be extradited, and to which country?

 

Apparently he's accused of embezzling funds from his then Thai employer in 2017, and was now foolish enough to return to Thailand not realizing there's an outstanding arrest warrant.

Dont all be falling out 'Team'

 

Report seems to say; British man does a 'Runner' in 2017 with a load of money, this is recorded & put on Immigration Police data base. Man is stupid enough to return, gets Nabbed when database flags it up.

 

I'd wager he is a Thief & a no good person who must of thought no one will remember him doing a Bunk, but lets see... 

[Hanuman2547]

Not too smart to return to Thailand.  He should have first checked to see if there were any legal matters or warrants involving himself.  Obviously, he knew that he left Thailand under some dodgy circumstances as he hadn't returned for seven years.

I don’t think I’m too far off the mark.  He is a Brit.
 

Do you have information that proves otherwise?  I didn’t think so.

The information is in the news article.  He’s a thief with a warrant.  That’s called information.

Yup! Easy to be an armchair warrior and lay claim to the guy being a Brit because he is a thief.

Try saying that face to face with most of the Brits here in Thailand and see how that goes down.

 

So what s......e country are you from, pal?

Have they stopped teaching that as the preferred method of determining who the guilty party is ?

He must have known they'd be looking for him. If you're working for someone and steal (or "embezzle") a whack of money from them and then skip the country, you probably shouldn't ever go back. Not unless you have a lot of "biometric" alterations, a new name and new passport at least.

Especially when there are safer options to travel to. Maybe the money he "allegedly" stole ran out and he thought he'd just come back and try the same thing again ?

And why do these guys never post about their situations on here ? Surely more than a few of them must be TV/AseanNow/Thiager forum members.


And WHAT is with those frakken pop-up ads now appearing repeatedly.
Every time someone new takes over the site it goes downhill a bit further.

I don't agree, AN/T has been much better lately.

I was told there is a service whereby if you knew somebody who knew somebody at airport immigration , you should be able to see if any red alert was being issued upon your passport before embarking on the journey. 

I've got a service special for you, 10,000 baht gets your passport banned, 

[smew]

Thai police and an ongoing commitment to what??… 12 yr old child on a motorbike runs into a car no driver license no insurance… what happens then….

In a logical discussion, when someone asserts a claim, the burden of proof is on that person, there is no onus on others to disprove that the claim is false.

Why, Oh why do some people come on this site?

Came back for the ladies and left with some men 😉

[n00dle]

they seem to be going to great trouble to keep identities confidential.

 

I suspect a deeper story. with some fairly influential players.

either they have keep the book open on this guy for years, or somebody back home rumbled him before he got on the plane.

 

I bet the story just disappears.

"A distinct lack of "finger-pointing" evidenced in that photo. Have they stopped teaching that as the preferred method of determining who the guilty party is ?"

Yes - I'm missing that too! Possibly because there's no evidence to point at? I'm sure they could have found SOMETHING, if they really wanted!

 

"And WHAT is with those frakken pop-up ads now appearing repeatedly.

Yes - and being constantly asked (every time I move to a new page) to remove my ad - blocker! NO! NO! NO! But you still get all the pop up ads anyway!

Full of Branston pickle, mediocre cheese, HP sauce and tasteless biscuits of which they can’t seem to live without

And you're obviously a Brit hating Aussie judging by your childish use of grammar

Should OF ??? What a retard

[818Pilot]

Flee from Thailand in 2017 and 7 years later decide to return thinking they would forget about the crime you allegedly committed not realizing they use computers like the rest of the world.

 
You really can’t fix stupid!

Funny you should say that, I used to look at Thai thaiger news then they changed the website and I couldn't bear to look at it, it took over my phone with adds, I sent them a message about it and they never responded, a few weeks later they take over asean and the adds make it almost impossible to look at topics or respond to them, you spend most of your time trying to  close the adds but Google says sorry we'll try not to show that again, then it pops straight back up, I'm thinking of not bothering with the site now because the adds are overwhelming. 

I suppose they must need the money, not much juicy news now lot's of rubbish, it's a shame they don't fix it, it was better as thaivisa. 

Thanks, that's my grump for today 

Cheers.

"Thailand" bashers, Farang "deporting sheriffs", 

smart Xrxes, everything.

But "Thai bashers" are a more rare species in this "elite" forum.

Just guessing, lol.

A Brit in trouble? Who would have guessed!😂😂🤦🤷🏻‍♂️

He was only looking for a legitimate job but the temptation to rip off his “employer “ was overwhelming.

 

Should of stuck with bar management, English teaching or digital nomading.

 

His “career” in Britain?  Tele sales or Financial “Investments”?

🤔 in my own experience, could have been working for a company that fired him, still owed him money, and when he went to try get his money ,the company then used their "connection" with local police to bring a completely false charge of theft. The guy then left the country due to no visa and work permit expired.. not knowing about the warrant. This happened to me a few years ago, eventually due to my " connections" with tourist police the company had to give me an apology and a compensation payment.. still didnt get the full money i was owed though.. there are a lot of business owners in phuket that try this.
