Popular Post Crossy Posted January 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 8, 2021 Nobody likes a grass, and your name WILL get out unless even if you tip off the plod anonymously or via a Thai proxy. Personally, unless I'm directly affected I'm just keeping schtum. If you really feel that strongly head off to the cop-shop with the relevant details and file a report, if they act on it or not is then up to them. 19 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post J Town Posted January 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 8, 2021 Unless it's really affecting your life, I'd steer clear of that. The repercussions when your name gets out (and it will) could be devastating. 13 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to do with 'grassing'... in these dangerous times dose Thailand need unchecked and undocumented people running around putting the county under siege not knowing who they are or where they come from while others have to endure weeks of quarantine?... 7 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more a case of "personal safety" than the actual act of grassing someone up. If the operators of these allegedly illegal workers (and our OP will need compelling evidence, not just "a feeling" or he's going to be hit with a defamation suit too) are influential people then he could find there are "issues" next time he goes to renew his stay (or even next time he goes to the shops). Great care and thought is needed, we are not in <insert name of safe western country> any more. 9 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, "back home", unless you upset The Mob or a major drug kingpin, nothing really nasty is going to happen to you, or is it? We really don't want to report the headline "Foreigner falls from 15th floor condo, zip tied, with a plastic bag over his head and 4 gunshot wounds.

Popular Post richard_smith237 Posted January 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 8, 2021 Op - it would serve you well on this thread to explain why, otherwise people just think you are a pathetic tool wishing getting involved with something which doesn’t concern you. --------- A number of years ago my wife ‘nearly’ got involved in some low end business with a French lady. My Wife attended an event, didn’t like the set up, it was nothing like that which was promised, my wife felt misled and cheated, so she left. She phoned the French lady to explain why. The French lady demanded money some money from my Wife and started hassling her, e-mails, messages, phone calls. After a few days it was becoming too much. I contacted a good friend in Immigration, found out that the Woman was on a Tourist Visa but working. My close friend was ready to arrest her, I said wait and see if she gives my Wife any more hassle - I would warn her and if she continued then yes, get her deported. Fortunately, I didn’t have to warn the French lady, she simply stopped hassling my wife of her own accord. She had no idea how lucky she was and was fortunately I was very reluctant to become someone I don’t want to be. IMO - only ever get involved if your hand is forced because it takes an exceptional a$$hole to impact someones life in this way takes and you won’t like what you see in the mirror unless you can honestly justify your actions to yourself. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, go for it, if not why even worry? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heng Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 You'll be fine unless you happen to be messing with someone's rice bowl who is more connected and less scrupulous than you. Hint: don't say anything else if they close the door behind you anytime during your 'tipping off' or if the superintendent is smoking a cigar when you walk in. Henchman who are standing around doing nothing are also a bad sign. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
