Jeremy50 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Pattaya is where they should be, not pissing about on Koh Tao. Anyway, six years on Koh Tao, it's remarkable the man is still alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Immigration has finally started doing what many on TVF had stated they should do: check their records. But of course now the TVF members say that they should be doing more important things instead.

Gets my respect. Feel free to respect whoever you want of course, but the fact that some guys were caught overstaying by much longer than this Czech is not because they were smart or heroes of some sort, but simply that they started doing it earlier and Immigration didn't care enough until now.

If they enter anything in the records and have any sort of rudimentary database, it should be easy and fairly quick to do some searches or queries and find the gaps. No doubt thousands of missing or incomplete records, name errors, passport errors. But fine, start there look for entry date and exit date. No find?

JLCrab Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 I think the main thing that can be said of this particular incident is, if you want to go on long-term overstay, don't give anybody a reason to turn you in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
