Phuketboy Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I always get a laugh out of the "good guys in , bad guys out" statement. I guess there will be an awful lot of Thai's leaving the country especially government officials and police Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also faces a five year sojourn for his 148 days illegally in the kingdom." I would have thought far from being a 5 year sojourn, it has come to an end - or will he be imprisoned for 5 years? Agreed! Sojourn???? "Ban" is more like it!!!!! Edited August 3, 2016 by The Deerhunter Add one word Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marginline Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Respectfully why don't you go after 'criminals'? While I don' t condone what the aforementioned 'administrative violators' have done, concentrating on 'low hanging fruit' and then bragging about it - makes your policing ideology a laughing stock...IMHO. <wai> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMA_FARANG Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I am sorry but I fail to see how anyone can just "foget" he or she is mre than 140 days past their overstay date on a visa to Thailand. Especially since the information is stamped right there for everyone to see in theri passport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do you think they just forgot it ? Some of them are wanted in their home countries for serious crime and just used the system staying in Thailand without thinking about renewing their visas. So in my eyes they are criminals. I'm not talking about 2 weeks overstay here but several years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc46 Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 4 hours ago, Maggusoil said: Yes what a great headline! One of the folks up in my remote part of the world, is on his way out health wise. I guess they've missed him in the roundups. 7 years!! Overstay. No one really understands why a guy with copious rubber plantations, a house with all the family around him and so on and so forth would endanger his situation in this way. Now wheel chair bound, to be sent home at this stage of things would be outrageously inconvenient. Strange, this overstaying thing, when you have all the qaulaifications to remain. Why? Is this old codger any better than us people to do his 90 day report and his ones a year extension,,,Because you think that he owns a lot of shit here (which he doesn't/can't Legally) That he can act like a Thai and do what he likes,,,Tell Immigration Who he is and they can fine/jail and get rid of him.People like him and you make it bad for us Normal Aliens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liquorice Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I personally don't agree with naming and shaming. If the intention is to scare over stayers into surrendering, would you? Does this 'Good Guys In, Bad Guys Out' campaign extend to the many corrupt Immigration officers. How would they feel if they were named and shamed in the press.

cyberfarang Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 The worse criminal of the lot is Nanthaphop Sukhonthamat, 37, who was fined for not reporting a foreigner staying at the Pannathorn Guest House, in Pattaya within 24 hours of the guest's arrival. There was Hitler, Stalin and Pol Pot. And now we have Sukhonthamat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gemguy Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 BORING Can we please move on to the far more important issues ...such as murder and mayhem, rape and robbery and human trafficking, for example, and a long list of social ills which continue unabated. I notice a whole lot of T.V. com members tend to gloat when someone gets arrested for such infractions of the immigration laws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue bruce Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Why does the Thai immigration ban farangs from coming back into the Kingdom for 5 or 10 years when they contribute 100's of thousands of baht to the local economy.
