champers Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 How did he finance his stay? Not from a hairdressing business, judging by his photo. Basin cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovelomsak Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) How did he finance his stay? Probably the same as back home drugs and pornograhy Edited January 22, 2016 by lovelomsak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellstens Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I have the immigration police, visiting me today, to check my visa, first time in 10 years so they take the overstay seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F4UCorsair Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 By taking a harder line on foreigners, overstaying, and visa matters generally, there will be less of this trash in Thailand, and that can't be a bad thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soalbundy Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I have the immigration police, visiting me today, to check my visa, first time in 10 years so they take the overstay seriously. one would think that if they knew your name and address they could find your visa on the computer and would know if it was valid or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
springheeled jack Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 he was discovered , I am sure if pattaya immigration checked their computer they would most probably discover more on overstay than mr davies . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlindMagician Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 He didn't say everyone else is not trash. Maybe he thinks everyone is trash. You don't know, do you. He only said this guy is trash. So comment on what he said, not on what he didn't say. Let's not over focus on the use of inflammatory words like trash. But maybe the vast majority here might at least agree that such a long overstay is not exactly a strong indicator of being a good law abiding member of the community.

bangon04 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 he was discovered , I am sure if pattaya immigration checked their computer they would most probably discover more on overstay than mr davies . but that would require routine police work.....so not likely.

hewk Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) I knew this man He comes from the same city as me He had lived a colourful life He had been in trouble with the police in the past But there was nothing to suggest he was ever involved in any sort of porn Or that he ever had anything to do with drugs apart from maybe taking some on night out There was nothing written about him in the local press over here . As to how he was keeping hiself over there he had money coming over from home Paul sadly hung hiself so I guess we will never know the truth Edited January 22, 2016 by hewk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest I don't know what kind of trouble he thought he may have been in But I do know the drugs part are rubbish .Unless they are talking a gram or under The porn bit as far as I'm concerned is also more than rubbish I have kids and would trust Paul 100% with them I do know that paul was in a very dark places for a long time many years in fact Although some might see his police record and think badly of him He was a well liked man which is one of the reason plenty of people back here sent him money so he could stay out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

champken Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 If he was reported to immigration by another farang and it turns out that he has hung himself, as was stated by another poster, then I hope that dirty snake farang that reported him rots in hell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scouse123 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Actually in my view there was nothing wrong with his haircut either contrary to some posters beliefs. Short, clean and tidy. A close crop in a hot tropical climate, good idea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
