The suspect lives near the complainant. The informer works at a marketing company and must live near his job at Sriracha.

Wo, wo,wo: first I don't complain about nothing: I just ask how someone can live in this situation. Is not my business and I know that: was just a question. He doesn't live near my place of work, but near where I live...and I don't live in Sriracha.

The OP had a number of choices.  

1.  Post something funny or positive

2.  this

 

You chose this.   So call the police!!!  Go videotape him.   He can never report you since he's on overstayer.  You can really make his life bad.  Is that your plan???    I saw an old lady walking in the middle of the street.  maybe over 80.  very frail.  should I shame her??????  Start a post about her?   Of course not.  Let her live her life, let this guy live his life.

 

But now you started this thread..................and the wheel turns.  Facebook Siriiachi is all over this.  rumors.  police in action!!!

 

hope you're happy.  nothing good can come of this, don't you get that????  

 

Why not help him?

It can be numerous reason why and how you will find yourself on overstay. I overstayed a few months more than a decade ago, was arrested outside a shopping mall in Bangkok, and ended up at IDC. Spent 2 weeks there before I could buy my own ticket home.

I even wrote about it on this forum, and got a lot of comments.

 

My reason was that I was scammed by my ex girlfriend, and found myself almost without money during these months. While I was getting more money sent to me from Europe for my ticket, I was arrested before I could leave on my own.

 

These things could happen to anyone. Don't judge the book by its cover. Not all of us has backup, and some of us might use some time to recover from whatever happened to us. 

 

Laziness, or overstaying on purpose, is a complete different thing, and I don't understand that at all. Some also shouldn't be here if they don't have enough money for it in the first place.

3 years ago in Laos I met a guy who overstayed for many years. Professional sound engineer. He said that he paid about 70k for a visa agency to solve the problem. And got a passport full of stamps without any overstay history.

Thai Baht (not bad), Laotian Kip (dirt cheap), US$ (pricey) or UK£ (very pricey?

If you think I have no sympathy for overstayers, you are correct sir.

I won't disagree with that, but we all do mistakes. Mine was my blind trust to my gf, and not having enough backup funds.

How about you read my reply with more humor, more empathy, or maybe you didn't understand my sarcasm? Don't be so thin-skinned. Of course, if someone needs help, I'll give it. In fact, I know people who are in difficult situations, much more difficult than an overstay. But don't forget that problems are usually sought out, they don't come to you.

Mine is just a deduction, since I have read several times that, a particular bank,  contact its customers and block the accounts and reopen them after checking their status. If I am wrong, I misunderstood and I apologize.

You are not misunderstood and you have nothing to apologise for.

The new showing passport in hospitals is a game changer, but only if they check visa status which I doubt they will do

Expand  

 

I went to a hospice in Bangkok last week - I was not asked to show my passport...  

 

Not that it matters much, but my passport remains in my safe, I won't be taking it to a hospital...   I'm not sure why they need it when we can prove ID with a Driving Licence or Pink ID etc.. 

 

So... What exactly is this 'new rule that we have to show our passport'...  Is this for real ?

I went to Golden Jubilee a couple weeks ago. I showed them my appointment slip and that was the end of it. If I lose the slip, I tell them my name, and they look it up.

But what is your problem? I just ask a question. Who ever wrote that i want to create problems for him. I didn't even know he existed, until he came to me. I don't understand why you accuse me of enjoying the misfortune of others, when it is not so. As much as I could, I helped him.

70k baht. He overstayed in Thailand. Laos was a popular place to get Thai visas those times.

Thats interesting....   Thought I wonder why, as its far outside of a hospitals remit to check for Immigration status ?

 

So I wonder what this is for....    for residential hospital stays (and TM28 reporting) ???

 

 

... and what happens if a tourist turns up with a broke leg ? - is the hospital going to turn the tourist away to go home and get their passport ?

 

I suspect, this has more to do with simply 'proving ID' for billing purposes and mitigating flight risk.

Why do you have to ask? This topic has been asked and answered countless times before. Shirley a quick Google search would have directed you to previous discussions on the subject? 

 

Or perhaps you are on the AN payroll and working through the list of suggested topics in order to keep the traffic numbers up?

Would be annoying if you go to a hospital far far away without your passport and they ask for it, check before travel I guess

As far as I know you have always have to show your passport at a Thai hospital. Speaking having been in various hospitals over the last 35 years. I presume it is to stop you doing a runner or any number of reasons.

I do not believe I have ever had to show my passport at a Thai hospital, and since I moved here, I have never carried my passport.

Yup - obviously travel outside of province without your passport is ill advised...

 

However, I'll be very surprised IF in Bangkok, I turn up at a hospital I'm already registered at and they ask for my passport.

 

This might be a localised Bangkok Pattaya Hospital policy required instigated with a degree of xenophobia, perhaps due to an increased incidence of foreigners 'bill dodging' ????

 

I still can't see that it has anything to do with immigration status - rather it purely about Patient Identification.

Usually you register with your passport (or copy perhaps) then you get a hospital ID card and you use that going forward, BPH as an example have said they don't accept that anymore

 I hadn't heard about this requirement, but if you have been to the hospital before and have a patient ID card I doubt they would ask for your passport.

Correct: I visited three different hospitals in two cities and they always asked for my passport.
