Going into business with a girl you met in Pattaya will never end well. 

She has all the leverage in this country, the moment she's had enough of you, you're screwed.

Protect yourself.

Sounds like a good advise 👌🏼 . Need to be add in the Travel advice 😂😂

Why mention the USA,.,,,the more run is from the UK....not America! 

I think these prisions are inhuman.

Was this a crime, a misdemeanour, or a simple offence, of which the alleged culprit was apparently charged but not convicted?

 

Of course one realises that Thai law likely lacks such classifications.  But nonetheless the point is that there are differing degrees of criminality.

 

His overstay of several days, as alleged by the police, might have been unintentional, arising from unforeseen circumstances.  It would still have been illegal.  But with mitigating circumstances.

 

Moreover, did the accused resist arrest, necessitating the employment of violence in order to overpower him?

 

Perhaps I look upon the matter from a slanted point of view.

 

As a former native affairs officer in the New Guinea bush in the 1960s, combining various functions including that of officer of the Field Constabulary, RP&NGC, magistrate, and i/c the local Corrective Institution. (Leading to somewhat bizarre circumstances such as signing detention orders in one capacity to myself in another capacity).

 

Convicted criminals had obligations but also rights, including rations, the same as for labourers but without tobacco.  And they could not be subjected to violence.  Nor could violence be used when making an arrest, except as necessary to overcome resistance.  In an as yet uncontrolled area, it was forbidden to fire upon hostile villagers except as a last resort to prevent death or grievous bodily harm.

Of course that was back in the bad old colonial days!

I agree to some extent, but not for people whose only "crime" was to overstay a visa by some days.

 

The conditions of detention in Norway and some other countries are disgusting.

I almost forgot to go and get my stamp after new year and just did it 7 days over the date I was supposed to go , as they give you 7 days over to do it .

Thats because we give them nice comfy individual prison cells.   If we doubled or quadrupled cell occupancy then there would be plenty of room.   

You need something like this for illegal immigrants. 

 

Go door to door across the UK.  Rack em and stack em. 

 

I'm sure it would stop the boats.

He probably roughed up the girl friend and she used her contacts to get him roughed up.

More like he handed over his life savings to her, and when the money ran out, he was past his use by date, so she had to get rid of him by informing on him to police / immigration, while she sells the bar.

Why does this "British man" hide his name?

Sounds a little harsh for a few days overstay. Maybe the old squeeze has contacts in the BIB and contrived to do him in.

He's not in Kansas, Toto.

 

Harsh and the Thai prison service are the same word.

 

I was lucky myself as the traffic accident I was in only resulted in myself being injured. Had the Thai guy died I'd be experiencing Thai prison hospitality myself.

 

I was always aware that I could easily end up in a Thai jail ( and the accident wasn't even my fault ), so I guess I was lucky in that I never did. My biggest fear when driving in the country was that some kids on a m'bike would ride out in front of me without looking, and my life would be over. For that reason, I never drove out of town without my wife with me.

Seems like you have posting <deleted> gene.

Maybe it would be better to express what is wrong or not true with my post, or what do you think?
