If this is true, and he cannot be let out on bail, then overstay of this length is not worth it, and ill-advised.

I would never attempt such a thing.

 

And, think of all the stress throughout the past 25 years.

What, I ask you, makes someone do such a thing, anyway???

 

 

He probably made peace with his decision and thought he was going to get caught at any moment. He probably wasn't stressed. Its not like he had a meth lab or something.

Not after seeing his apartment. The poor old geezer was living in a dump. Probably living on Cowmangai and noodles. Buying from the places across Chang Klan RD, a sixty meter walk, everyday. That's not living, it hardly qualifies as existing. Yuck. 

Begs the question why would he live like that.  One theory could be he is lying low escaping imprisonment from another country.

A person on one of the local Facebook groups said they knew him. Supplied little info but said he was a 'harmless individual, but a sad story'. Ok, maybe on the lam , but that is a reach. However if so we will likely here about it. Also stated, he was getting money from family back in the UK. Whatever that means. At the end, I just think it sad, that's no way to live.
