Keep calling Big Oud's hotline: German arrested on 218 day overstay

[Sticky Wicket 5,547]

Weird how personally people take overstaying of fellow expats.

It's as though they have banged your wife or something!

I am pretty sure all those that live here are aware of the burden placed on all of us by immigration so there is little wiggle room to claim lack of knowledge by the guy in question.  It's sad for him that he will not be allowed into Thailand again for 5 years,  but he only has to look in a mirror to see who it is he has to blame. 

It's the process that is the worst.

In a proper country, not a 3rd world doss house like this, there is a due process

You go to court and given time to sort your affairs

Not dumped into a septic pit and held captive for a weeks like a common criminal

You see people get 500 baht fines for attacks with axes and yet overstay your visa and the full force is down on you.

There is an American who is constantly causing problems, been arrested several times and yet hasn't had to endure this sort of treatment and hasn't even been deported yet!

If I'd report all foreigners who do something against the law, for example being on fake degrees, etc..I'd never come off the phone.

So a Thai grouse turned him in; he will be deported and the Thais who had been benefiting from his custom will lose out.  Thai logic.

Wouldn’t surprise me if foreigners were reporting also, going by the comments etc of some of these on here, wouldn’t trust them either

You give the person behind the desk too much credit. They are not looking in your bag or thinking anything other than what they will eat next or why you’re taking so long because they have Facebook open on their phone and it’s on the desk waiting for them. 

 

No one is going to know anyone else is overstaying unless they A) spy on them, or B) you brag to the locals that you’re on overstay.

So, it´s really sad that you do believe things like that. They might look at Facebook, but they are also doing their job.

That’s the most Thai response you could have given. 
 

I’ll use your logic next time my wife catches me with another woman. “No dear, we were not having sex. She simply asked me to insert my penis into her vagina and thrust vigorously.”

 

 

Good Luck!

If you see somebody beeing killed and you can identify the person who committed the crime. isn´t the right thing to come forward and report that?

 

 

You don't seem to comprehend easy English. Overstaying and killing somebody are two different shoes.

Yes, I also stated that in my post if you bothered to read all before you post. Seems like you are the one left with the coprehension problems.

  You've stated in another post that you've often bought and drank beer on days when it wasn't allowed.

 

What would you think if I'd call the cops when I see you drinking on such a Buddha day, or similar and they arrest you?

 

  Is that still "only reported", or would that be considered as spied on you? 

   

You still don´t get it! It´s fantastic! It´s not illegal to drink the beer you bought when sale was allowed. It´s illegal to sell beer during the time you are talking about. Get it now! Must be one of those days, right? To not drink on Buddha days is only a suggestion and will never have the possibility to be included in any of the existing laws.

Yet you did the comparison, didn't you

Yes, because both are a criminal act that breaks the law. Just showing you can not chose what should be enforced or not. That is exectly what all that complains at me today, normally complain about when they talk about an IO´s power of discretion. So, let´s just say that they go as the wind blows, while I am standing strong in one place.

Sir look up the meaning of the word Stool-pigeon.....

Irrelevant! Has nothing to do with this. If you think it has, than you have serious comprehension problems. Have a good day, and don´t bother me more with your bladder.

What is the stupid and morbid concentration on how they describe things? What is relevant in that?

What is relevant here is that another overstayer bites the dust, and will be according to the law deported and blacklisted for his arrogance and refusal to live by the rules.
 

Nobody have asked anybody to spy! Where are you getting that from. People are just asked to report what they know and suspicious circumstances. Same like in any country regarding any kind of criminal offense. But, of course, it sounds much better to explain it like you just did, because then you can put the blame on the Thais instead of the people that is commiting the offense.

 

Out of interest, Matzzon, if you became aware that a farang of your acquaintance was on overstay what would you do? And assuming that they have not committed any other offences or crimes.

 

(a) report them to the authorities?

(b) do nothing, because it’s not your business?

(c) try to persuade them, maybe over a period of time, to hand themselves in before they are caught out?

 

I would add that I am not trying to ‘bait’ you. I am just interested to know what your next step might be.

Is Matzzon American ??

 

He must be causing so many problems, upsetting all the locals by reporting (note: Not spying) on their illegal activity...

He has made it quite clear - We should all be reporting 'Law Breakers'......   anything else he will contradict himself and the corner he has backed himself into with his 'black & White', 'Right and Wrong' lack of 'real world' thinking. 

 

 

If it was a friend anyone who is considerate and cares would got for option (c) try and advise them to sort out their situation, otherwise (b) its not really our business, they are not hurting anyone.
