   He may have been annoyed when they wouldn't let him board the flight , would be understandable if he had the overstay fine money 

He was taking the piss with his overstay, serves him right.

Is there a seperate fine for "insulting officials"?

Thank you RTP. Kick this riffraff out of your Kingdom. 👍👍👍

Riff-raff, hmmm, perhaps you should start looking over your shoulder then, and stop wearing flip-flops...

nope. It was pure "uniform rage" a.k.a. "look what I can also do!"

I imagine perhaps he didn't have the 20.000 to pay them plus his detention means missing flight so further expenses he probably doesn't have. 

In saying that if he can stay over 6 months he either thought they will just deport him but I've no sympathy 

I think that when your in immigration prison your fine defrays at a rate of 100 or 200 Baht per day, I think 200.

It’s remarkable, isn’t it? Reading some of the comments and opinions shared here, one’s immediate impression often veers towards unrefined and uneducated rabble.....

....And, by "uneducated," I don’t mean lacking formal education, it’s far more telling than that. It’s the kind of ignorance born from traversing through life without ever realising that realities and experiences far beyond their own not only exist but transcend their narrow purview.

 

Such individuals habitually expose their own stunted growth through the sheer recklessness of their unhinged judgements, a reflection of their unrefined perspectives and intellectual stagnation.

Indeed, gets tiresome at times.........🤔

You seem to be suggesting that the Thais are too strict in their punishment, but could it be that other countries such as the U.K are too lenient.

Nope. I'm not. You seem wrong.

I’m shocked!

 

Another Brit makes the news.

Really? 

Technically you still have to pay for what you overstayed "outside of prison" and nothing during detention. 

Interesting if they apply some "creative approach" 

 

btw, the food in IDC is "uneatable" - either you order with quadruple price or enjoy long fasting. Even in BKK, I guess Phuket is even worse.

Poor sod, he probably said something very "british" like "PHOOK OFF, YOU BASTARD!"

Maybe my memory but I seem to remember (some months back) a number of news items about overstayers in Phuket being arrested on departure.

 

Yes, I remember that as well.

 

What's never clear to me is why exactly they are being arrested, as normal procedure for people who surrender at airport immigration with "just" an overstay is imposing a fine and a ban right there at the airport and letting them leave.

 

Maybe he refused to pay, or couldn't, as the article also mentions that he insulted officials.
