george Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 Jail, cane for Thai man who overstayed 208 days BRUNEI: -- A 42-year-old Thai was imprisoned for three months and given three strokes of the cane after pleading guilty to overstaying in the country. Senior Magistrate Hj Abdullah Soefri heard from the Immigration Prosecutor that Bunsong Bunthaen had overstayed for 208 days after his employment pass had expired on March 25, this year. The defendant was arrested three days ago when Immigration Enforcement officers raided a house under construction at Kg Tanah Jambu where the defendant was working. Moreover, according to the prosecution, investigations showed that Bunsong had been compounded a sum of $600 by the Immigration Department on March 11, this year for a previous immigration offence and was released with a special pass valid up to March 25 pending his repatriation to Bangkok. However, he chose to run away and stay unlawfully in the country. --Brunei-Online.com 2004-10-22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveh Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 Now, there's a way Thailand could deal with overstays. 200 baht per day up to 20,000 baht, then after that one stroke of the cane for each week or month overstayed. They can have a caning room in the airport. You certainly would have fewer overstays that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
