chainarong Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Regardless of whether these people are Indians from India or men from mars this seems a trend that's happening all over the world, these scum seem to think that the easy way is the right way, credit card skimming , counterfeit money , passports , happens in all countries and is on the increase , with the help of computers, naturally. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, it could explain why these particular crooks were rounded up.....no tea money passing up the chain! On a more serious note, it's good to see that TAT's quest for "quality tourists" seems to be paying off! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzMick Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 (edited) The immigration system in Thailand is computerised at every border crossing I have used (7 land, 1 sea and 4 airports). any attempt to leave the country on a passport not logged in the system as entered would immediately be red-flagged. BTW after having a passport stolen, every movement through immigration on the new passport caused an extensive delay for nearly 2 years.

Suradit69 Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Hard to believe that the Indians operate without involvement of Thai Mr. Bigs and government officials. Yes, here at TV the common wisdom is that Thais are to blame for virtually anything bad that happens on the planet. Prejudice is a great time saver.

BTW after having a passport stolen, every movement through immigration on the new passport caused an extensive delay for nearly 2 years. Think you might be wrong about computerised border crossings. Lets say for example a Cambodian Notional is in Thailand and loves the country so much they decided to stay past the date of their visa. They then managed to get across the border by one way or another and apply for a new passport in Cambodia. Once they have received their new passport they come back through the normal way, through customs. Do you think they will get red flagged? Answer is no.

Won't try to bring others on ideas, but once went to immigration after having a fake stamp and told them I lost my T-card. They couldn't find it in the container at the BKK office so they just made a new card and my problem was solved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully we have dear Suradit69, whose sole mission in life is to excuse any Thai wrongdoing and blame non-Thais for "virtually anything bad that happens on the planet".

Once they have received their new passport they come back through the normal way, through customs. Do you think they will get red flagged? Answer is no. They are Indian nationals with fake French passports. If they attempt to get an exit stamp from Thailand they will be arrested because they have no record of entry. If they jump the border, the next country they attempt to enter will want to know why they haven't got an exit stamp. I know of one person refused entry to Malaysia because his exit date was the day before (he fell ill after exiting, returned to his hotel, and attempted to complete the run the next day). People with overstays have tried that before, to be sent back to Thailand. <deleted> this has to do with Cambodians escapes me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
