Yann55 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Oh no... and now Thailand is about to be downgraded to Tier 2 by the Non Governmental Organisations in charge of establishing where it's safest for criminals to retire and spend their hard-earned money ?

arisaje Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Get him kicked out and let the Russian guys deal with him. Maybe he will be one of the first people to say "please let me stay in a Thai jail, Don't send me back" No. The first who said that was probably Viktor Bout. Viktor Bout wanted to the be sent to Russia because he could be released there, what he didn't want was to be sent to the USA where he was going to get 25yrs ++ The Russians really didn't want him in front of US courts either as they were worried about what he would say about internal russian arms movements.

joebrown Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 This guy was probably going into (or coming out of) TescoLotus, the only big store in Sattahip. I frequently shop there.

IamNoone88 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Well, he'd only been here ......... unnoticed and untraced for 5 years ....... doing visa runs on a false passport .......... must have been a very good forgery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VINCENT2012 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 returning on a fake Armenian passport so the visa is either a fake or another immigration/consulate payoff along the line ................non Thai mafia is not allowed on the work permit list also a fake passport has nothing to do with the visa given by an ambassy ....if thais new it was fake i doubt very much they would have given it.

Morch Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 more foreign scum located in Thailand, how many more are hiding under the rocks? lets put a positive spin on this - the police are doing a great job by continually unearthing these 'scum' - let them get on with it. We all laugh at the finger pointing photo shoots etc etc but I am more and more impressed by the crimes that are tidied up quickly. Sure lots to be done but with finite resources I don't think they're doing a bad job! Indeed. Although, sadly, less finger pointing in related photos recently. I'm all for keeping the tradition. Makes things much clearer when looking at the pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wwest5829 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I don't know how they (the police) can pick out one mafia type from the assembled farang group but can't find one Thai mafia type??

Alwyn Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Nice one!! One down and quite a few to go methinks. If the police or military were to just go into some bars/discos on walking street, Pattaya, they will find a few more. Don't blame Thailand for this, they are everywhere from Thailand to Spain to the UK and a lot of these mafia types have more money than God, and as we see, money talks in a lot of countries, not just here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny how when a scumbag Russian is arrested, for some people all Russians become objects of contempt. Yet we forget it was Russia/USSR that defeated napoleon and nazi germany to free Europe from two megalomaniac dictators.

Emster23 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I started off not liking the coup on principle, but I would bet your pension that army is building fire under police backsides so it is more expedient to grab these guys than to keep on accepting tea money to overlook.

In OP it says fake American passport, in one of the links you provided it says fake Korean passport Is it hard to tell which passport belongs to which country?
