Would you care to quote which statute of the Thai Criminal Justice System you are referring to?

 

Section 81 of the Immigration Act, as quoted in the OP. for an official link, see http://www.immigration.go.th/nov2004/en/doc/Immigration_Act.pdf

 

 

Skydiver said "Nothing is New", and that is what I refered to as ignorant, Immigration have allegedly come out and stated a sliding scale of punishments dependent on lenght of overstay when foreigner tries to leave Kingdom. I am sorry tallie that is very new.

 

What maybe new is that they actually going to hand out jail time, when they were perfectly justified to throw your ass into jail according to the immigration act. The law hasn't changed, only their interpretation. So his remark is not ignorant, at least no more than yours, because you had no clue you could get jailtime for overstaying while tunrning up at the airport with the cash in your hand.
