webfact Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 English overstayer to be kicked out of Thailand for ten years Channel 7 reported that police on Koh Phangan found an Englishman who had been overstaying in Thailand for more than a year. During a raid by Koh Phangan tourist police and Surat Thani Immigration Russell Hough was acting suspiciously and tried to flee on foot. His passport was checked and he was seen to have entered Thailand on August 1st 2017. He was shown to be from Mansfield in the north of England. He admitted overstaying. Other news pictures showed ramshackle living accommodation at the property that had no house number. Hough will be banned from coming back to Thailand for ten years, reported the Thai media who said that police were conducting sweeps under the orders of top brass including Immigration chief Maj-Gen "Big Joke" Surachate Hakparn.

Who would want to live in Mansfield he will most probably end up going to one of Thailand’s neighbouring countries once he has raised enough cash to do so for every person kicked out it’s less money in the economy I reckon that over the last two weeks more than 1,000 people have been arrested and that’s in just two weeks.

car720 Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Thailand is telling us that they want to clean up their act. The problem that I see is; what will they do when they have eventually kicked everyone out. The wannabe hippies and the old fart brigade and the wannabe intelligence services groupies. The sex tourists and the gunjah afficionados. Just what will they do for a dollar then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lordblackader Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Maybe I count differently but the picture clearly shows he has an extension of stay until Feb 2018 issued Nov 7, 2017 - that would make his overstay eight months, not one year. It is hard to see the date but if you look carefully, he entered on a Non-Imm B valid until Nov (top left) issued in July 2560 (the 2560 is dead clear) then underneath is the extension until Feb. Makes no difference to the penalty - get caught overstaying 1 day you can get banned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helloagain Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Good but you should fine him as well and if he cant pay then jail time. I obey thailands rules so should he. No sympathy from me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneMoreFarang Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Is there any reason why the picture of his documents are published? Yes, he should not have overstayed, but that is no reason to publish these documents. Someone at Thai Visa should read and learn about GDPR.

You appear to be "keeneeow" with comas and full stops. But besides this I don't think that Mr. Russel Hough's ramshackle housing boosted Thailand's GDP but a significant amount. He broke immigration laws and his potential for trouble and illegal work justifies deportation, as far as I am concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually he won't be the first young guy who thinks they have found paradise but fails to work out the logistics ie the finances. Unless he gets his act together it might just be an endless drift around the region, subject to having a pot to p in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less than a 1 year overstay is a five year blacklisting as opposed to the ten year blacklisting for an overstay of more than one year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No sympathy from me Whilst i acknowledge your comment it does seem strange they are making such a fuss over an 8 month overstay Especially when there are people with much longer overstays kicking around (8/10 years i know of)maybe they just cover their tracks better Anyway Mansfield's not that bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
