What I would do (on the basis of the info you provided) 1) quickly get a second legal opinion from a Thai lawyer, and, plan to plead guilty, throw myself on the mercy of the court. Write out a long and lengthy apology to the King, the Thai Courts, the Thai police, your country, your family, and anyone else your horrible mistake has impacted. Make it very long and very apologetic. Do not attempt to blame the transgression on anything other than your bad judgment. At the end, beg mercy from the judge indicating that you have cancer (provide proof) and, again, Beg for mercy so you can get medical care in your home country. Get this all translated into Thai and, if at all possible, have people vouch for your good character.Originally Posted by razorramone

A couple of suggestions:
- Shave your head, wear a nice dress, a mouth full of foamy toothpaste and turn up in court in a wheelchair.
- Be ordained as a monk..and be among ‘friends’.
The wheelchair is the way to go,and yes the saffron robes will do the trick.
So an admitted thief and cheat rather than do the time wishes to cheat the legal system too?
So he is not really contrite enough to man up to the penalty of his ways the type of criminal who gives all foreigners a bad name and the reasons immigration ,visas and racism is enhanced by low lives like this ,lucky he wasn't in Saudi.
Let's recap
He robbed a poor Thai women
He cheated a shop
Now he wants your help to cheat the penalty
^ It is a bit of a selfish "I'm here for all the upsides and expect to be able to dodge all the downsides so I chose not to leave when I could have " tale.
^^ jeepers, when porche driving kids cut people in half and don't go to jail do you really think a small time petty thief deserves years in jail?
The porsche kid doesn't increase hatred of foreigners and I yes he should have paid the penalty two, tow wrongs do not make a right.
Do you think Thai authorities appreciate a host giving tips to those seeking to evade justice, falang not Thai.He'll likely get 2 stretch out in 6 months and be deported .Try a runner and get caught he's in even hotter water , if he was richer or less stupid he'd have fixed it long ago like the picture posting on TD it's hard slog for slow leaners.

I know our local immi snitch reads thsi, of cours xzytes hosted in US but could end up like the daily mail and william hills blocked for all of us because of a troll or criminal.
I'm not a hanger or flogger, the guy is not going to be executed or life likely fine IDC deported.
He's going to be fleeced and would be better finding the grease money than whingeing
I understand where you are coming from. But I recall a case recently where some farang got an incredible sentence (50 years?) for an amount of drugs that would normally get a light sentence (although I really cannot remember all the specific details).
I have no real time for thieves, but I do have sympathy for someone who makes one dumbarse decision and might pay in a completely disproportionate manner.
Problem is, the courts here seem more like a lottery system than a justice system.
