docshock13 Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 So they were charged with overstay but the OP mentions nothing about drug charges or passport forgery charges. I suppose it is outside the domain of Immi Police but would like to assume they did refer these two to their colleagues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moti24 Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 "Daily News said they were working in the dark crime underbelly of the resort." If they already know it's the dark crime underbelly of the resort, it should have been wrapped-up long ago! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get Real Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 6 hours ago, BifBaker said: There's ALOT of illegal activity in Soi Muslim. Nja, not all correct. There is a lot of illegal activity in Pattaya percentually compared to the amount of people living in the city. I will take a wild guess and say that it actually compared in that way is one of the top ten cities in the world. For everyone that refuse to face reality, feel free to disagree.

LammyTS1 Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 I'm waiting for the far left to declare that most crimes are committed by western farangs and all law abiding holiday makers from Africa & Middle East are here to spend multiples of money!

True. There is little enforcement of any sort. Plus in their bid to attract more tourists from developing countries they have opened the doors to more criminals and desperate types who aren't on any international criminal database. If there was more vetting they wouldn't get in to Thailand in the first place. 20 yrs ago Thailand was an 'exotic' destination mostly well healed tourists from Western Europe. Now as flights are cheaper and people are able to travel the whole World's troublemakers can afford to come and visit. Thailand's bumbling immigration and Police have no way of knowing who is good and who is bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
