Deport and never let him back in.
Helped a Belgian lad with his 2 girls 2 years ago (who also had an entire article on PDN). Gave him place to stay (new condo in Pratumnak - overstay fee - tickets - more cash). He was "financial manager" .... HAHA!
Never saw a single THB back!
I learned my lesson!
Nice of the police though!
Why? Well when they used to hand out money and passports they found they were preyed upon by out of luck British drunks who would plead povert, get a passport and then 'lose" it to fund their drinking etc.
This type of nobody likes pattaya because they canget drunk, shag and be told 'you handsome man" when he is clearly a wretched sort.
Hopefully he will be back in prison soon.
I also believe that Consulates are actually forbidden by law to get involved in repatriation fees when it is self inflicted.
The British are pathetic the way they always expect someone to help them out.Cradle to the Grave welfare state.
Mr. Smit, all will be well with you!
The Government is not running a cHarity shop for idiots.
it pisses me of all the negative comments from by Farang's about any thing printed on Thai visa. If you can't say something nice. Don't say anything
