good, i hope that they stick with it

massive overstays and 20,000 baht fines are a joke.

break the rules and get what you deserve.

Good idea.

What crap.

It will be interesting to see what happens to the next few long overstay farangs who attempt to exit the Kingdom.

Don't forget the ever popular "another nail in the coffin"  or the "they don't really want us here" replies followed by tales of how wonderful it is in the Philippines or Cambodia.

On the bright side, maybe TV could open a new community forum: Incarcerated in Thailand.

no this is going to scare a lot of people. they vshould at least give a bit of grace like not start for a month so overstayers can leave

Oh finally a good news! i was so concerned about going out at night time (but even during the day for that matter), knowing that i might eventually came across one of the very feared "overstayers" , i can cope with almost any sort of issues or dangers, but having to deal with a man/woman which is not a "quality tourist" is already bad enough, leave alone someone which break this vital law! is just too much, nevermind the killers, scammers, abusers,cheaters,thiefs around us, the constant chronic break of safety standards and human rights, etc.., go and get the overstayers that's the real crime in this country, the main priority for the resolution of all major problems affecting the country for sure,  thank you amazing Thailand!

Call me a cynic but it sounds like a nice little earner for someone.

A welcome move. Let us just hope they stick with it.

now....lets wait for the "if it wasn't for me, Thailand would fall in a heap" replies.

I have been all over the world and a lots of rowdy places. Pattaya was the only place I ever been and saw at 11 AM patrons falling off barstools on a regular basis.
This has to be the Sewer in the world not how it looks like but the people that hang out there.
