It seems that every week there are two or three new post about overstays.

Two day overstay, Two week overstay, two month, year and more!!

How can anyone be so casual about their status with immigration?

Why is it so difficult to stay in compliance with the regulations when you know months in advance when you are requires to take care of business?

Then to come on TV and ask for help and advice like they should be pitied and we should sympathise with their plight like they are being abused by the system.

My advice:

Be a responsible adult and do what you need to do when you need to do it.

Is it any wonder immigration look at so many as irresponsible fools when so many are?

What you do and don't do reflects on, and affects many more than just you.

Like it or not, we are all lumped together in the eyes of some.

I don't like it!

Just saying!

Get a life

The problem is they spend all their cash on booze and hookers and waste the rest.

None of your business!!

Gives you the opportunity to read their sad stories and feel superior.........................

its piss, poor, planning before they come here, how many times are people here on visa exempt entry and asking for help/how to extend, why do they not get a tourist visa 1,000 baht ish, when added to the air fare its a pass in the ocean

sometimes there are changes in circumstances that might warrant an extension, ever thought of that?

Because some have the perception that Thailand is an anything goes playground where westerners can do as they please?

Might come as a surprise to you, but Thaivisa was originally a webpage, where you could get visa advice!!

We don't all live in the perfect planned world. We fall in love (!!), get drunk or simply loses track!!

I am a planner, but I fully understand people, who occasionally get lost.

Not easy for a first-timer when Thailand comes crashing down on you, with the heat, the smells and the ladies!!

Often.... and can happen to anyone, as you know, but some research before leaving would be the planning part of the piss, poor

There's so many temples to see, it's easy to become overwhelmed.

That's OK -- I feel superior without even reading their sad stories.

Life's a beach.

I think the recent rise in overstay posts is down to the potential blacklist legislation should they ever put it through which isn't looking like happening at the moment.

I'd also go along with the "mind your own business" replies as there are some folks who have had all manner of problems only to find themselves in the mire,who probably need and deserve a little friendly, non judgemental advice also I know of several blokes who have a few quid so paying the 20K fine once a year or so beat having to deal with the ever changing red tape,

Was going to start a '89 day overstay - problem?' thread to troll a bit, but some senior members might have a heart attack.

So now you are trolling with a post about an idea to troll. Interesting.

Some people are just incompetent. I personally think paedos and scammers are more of an issue, but whatever floats yer boat.

Irresponsible

i overstayed in Indonesia by 4 days because i didn't check my visa stamp and i was on a work permit which was still valid for a year. So check stamps is my answer.

Good job there's no regulation against staying here long-term on tourist visas.

there are restrictions I understand. I'll look forward to seeing you sweating in the queue for immigration...

Saves money/hassle. Got a problem with it?

Nope. http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/788273-is-there-any-limit-on-back-to-back-tourist-visas/
