Friend In Need Ii

[davejonesbkk]

Just thought I'd give an update about my friend who had the warrant out for his arrest for having the fake degree...

He went down to the Malay border last week and passed through the thai immigration point and as far as I know he just had to pay the 20k for maximum overstay, no warrant, no fuss. He's now going to (or already has) flown out of Malaysia.

Thanks for letting us know.

I remember your original post about your school teacher friend and thanks for letting us know his story has had a happy ending.

Flown out of Malaysia and gone to where?

Flown out of Malaysia and gone to where?

Back home to write a best seller about doing porridge in a Thai jail (if he had any sense or imagination)!!

I read the first part of this guy's story but missed the middle section so clue me in.

Did he definitely find out he had an arrest warrant out for him? If so how didn't they pick him up at the border?

[davejonesbkk]

No idea what exactly happened.

Just got a very brief email from him saying he had passed through immigration at the border and was now in Malaysia.

Don't think he went the 'Boys Own' way of scaling the fence tho...

But he definitely had the arrest warrant out for him because I remember from the old thread that this was in dispute wasn't it?

Then he walks through the border control without problems. Makes me think he didn't have an arrest warrant out for him in the first place.

Right Maddy, he would have been nabbed at the border if there was a warrant, for sure.

Say what you will, maigo and BKK, it was an amusing thread while it lasted.

We need more levity in this doom laden realm.

[bkkmadness]

Be even more amusing if the dude just 'escaped' Thailand for no reason.

I still have problems in separating fact from fantasy when reading these threads.

Thailand seems to do strange things to the mind.
