Hopefully... but even then the attention diminishes quite quickly... This is something that needs persistence as the media here seem to be more effective than the scales of justice.
Living out in the sticks? Are Indians moving up there on fake-marriages to work illegally, now? I doubt it. And they can / often do make a home-visit, which would erase all doubt.
And, if one is over 50, they know one can "buy" an agent-extension based on retirement from their partners, for a fraction of the cost of paying for a fake Thai wife (plus 2 witnesses for the home-visit). They know the source of "scams" are primarily of their own organization's origin.
Only a few agents will do them, and the cost was quoted at something like 50K Baht, last report I saw - a big piece of the action going to the district-level official, for their sign-off.
I did nothing really, didn't even see the police the first month, my misses only went to the police station to file the police report needed for my government minimum insurance to get my hospital bill paid. The police took the report and ran with it.
Good on them.... Your experience also show's, contrary to popular myth, that the farang isn't always in the wrong (far from it in my experience).
