    British National Arrested for Illegal Tour Guide Operations on Pha Ngan Island

    SURAT THANI – A British national was apprehended on Pha Ngan Island, Surat Thani, for illegally conducting tour guide operations, relevant authorities reported on Thursday, May 30th.


    The Koh Pha Ngan Tourist Police, upon receiving a tip-off from a concerned local tour company, launched an investigation that led to the arrest of the individual who was allegedly offering an 18-day tour package covering Bangkok, Khao Sok, Pha Ngan Island, Phi Phi Island, Phuket, and Chiang Mai. The tour was priced at 70,121.91 baht per person.

    The suspect, identified only as 25-year-old Mr. Jabran, was detained at 1:30 P.M. at a hotel in the Baan Tai sub-district of the Koh Pha Ngan district. He was subsequently taken into custody at the Koh Pha Ngan Police Station.


    Mr. Jabran is facing charges for operating without a legal work permit and engaging in a profession reserved for Thai nationals. The Phuket Express highlights that the occupation of a tour guide is protected under Thai law, and work permits or visas for this role are not issued to foreigners. Mr. Jabran has reportedly confessed to the allegations.

    The case has drawn attention to the stringent regulations surrounding employment in Thailand, particularly in occupations deemed protected for Thai citizens. The incident serves as a reminder of the legal requirements for foreign nationals seeking to work in the country.

    Deflect instead of admit that some of those lower end tossers and trash are chancers. Why would you feel the need to defend them? Just like Sausages tries to pretend he lives with millionaires and elites instead of the sewer that is Pattaya. Unless these criminals are ​you.

    I'm not defending him at all. I'm highlighting your obsession with Brits.

    And yeah, that's me, posting from jail

    Actually, he was a quite resourceful chap who was punting a guided tour of Thailand for tourists at £1800 a pop. Silly sod probably thought just because other foreign guides were doing it, he could.

    The missing factor in the equation was of course his contact with the, er, authorities.

    Still, he pales into utter insignificance when compared to the hundreds of Chinky fuckers allowed to shepherd the zero dollar tours over the past decade including those who bought Thai passports resulting in the suspension of a couple of Thai generals and over 100 immigration officers about whom we’ve heard, well, er,…………..nothing.

    Shitty society, shitty country.

    Imagine him every time he sees the Australian national flag with a Union Jack on it.

    i bear the unfortunate autumnal hued gentleman with the arab name no malice whatsoever, and i am in no position to discriminate against him.

    so how exactly can my comment be considered racist? i merely said he may not be british.

    it is you, with your constant negative comments and stereotyping about british people that is the racist here.

    Apparently these days it's not even a pre requisite for soap dodgers to have a criminal record to enter

    Most polititans are happy to hold the electorate to ransom. In UK, USA or Australia this is common practice, because politicians always know better than us. Voters are definitely not to be trusted.

    No doubt one day in 1788 a couple of dusky coloured gentlemen sitting at Sydney cove, watching the first illegal arrivals by boat must've said "Well there goes the neighbourhood!"

    The British man, named Matthew, has been living in the village with his Thai wife for several years. He is known among the security guards as a hot-headed person who frequently causes disturbances... อ่านข่าวต้นฉบับได้ที่ : Just a moment...

    Sounds like a classy guy.

    The belligerent Brit deserves to be kicked out of Thailand. What an ass. I feel sorry for his Thai missus. The plonker should have let her deal with the guys at the gate. Some farang struggle to adjust to life in Thailand.
