He does do the work, doesn't he? Slowly waking up from your dream? He had his team at the tourist police working for him and now they still do the same for immigration, that's why you also see him in the "old" cases that are solved and have nothing to do with immigration.

CALSinCM Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 There will no doubt come a time when the Headline: "Big Joke <verb> <number> <nationality> for <crime> at <location>....." simply becomes so common as to invoke naught but a yawn.

America? Personally, I'd sort of like to know what the Big Jokester thinks about his own country-men (and women) flaunting the immigration laws of other countries. Actually I already know the answer.

Sir Dude Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 13 years huh...pretty slippery if that's the truth in the overstay case. I still think they are just scratching the tip of the iceberg. If they made a circular perimeter around lower Sukhumvit for about 1 km then closed in to a ground zero point of Soi Nana, I reckon they would catch a couple thousand.
