If he was trying to leave Thailand and hasn't been in trouble while in LOS, this seems harsh. Just fine him on the way out and black list him for a brief period. Would they treat an American like this?

Would they even treat an Aussie like this?

There must be more to this story.

Kinda sounds like it. Either that or there’s a new change in attitude towards overstayers.
