Last year, someone posted on here, long overstay, handed himself in to immigration, spent the night in jail.
Next day fronted court and was fined,5,000 Baht, bought a plane ticket back to OZ and paid the migration cops 2,000 Baht for the transfer to the airport.
Something wrong with the story, laws the same, be you farang, Cambodian Lao or Burmese. work illegally, get kicked out of the country.
