Rimmer 6,681 #1 Posted January 11 Frenchman 1st overstay of 2019 A French man became the first overstay arrest of the year when Immigration Police captured him in front of his South Pattaya home. Guillaume Lucien Shetta Wagner, 29, had started acting nervously when he spotted patrol police Jan. 3. The visa in his passport was found to have expired 200 days ago. Wagner told police he had overstayed because his friend told him he could stay as long as he liked and then just pay the 20,000-baht fine at the airport when he left. He was informed that overstaying is a criminal offense and he will now be deported and banned from the kingdom for five years. -- © Copyright Pattaya Mail 2019-01-11 5 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What's that got to do with it but, anyway, what do you mean, "not a word"? It was all over the press! 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Captured? Not arrested, apprehended, or detained. What sort of animal did the journalist think it was? Did they use a lassoo on the neck, or a rope around one of the rear legs?
