Ask your Consulate representative in Bankgok or Phuket. They are informed of all detentions.

Sounds as if it could be an expensive bail out to me.

Why bother to help him. Some loser decides he is above Thai law and doesnt need a visa and doesnt need to keep money to pay the hotel who has been providing his board . . . he'll get deported with a 'good riddance' stamp in his passport.

I have no sympathy.

Sure it was Phuket?

Look at this thread in Pattaya forum:

Broke Texan makes a run for it rather than paying his outstanding rent.

A bizarre case now from the Argyll Apartments on the Pratamnuk Road in South Pattaya. Mr. Tim Gibbons aged 39 from Texas, USA checked into the apartments three months ago after a planned 6 month stay in Pattaya to take some time-out from his job back in Texas.
