Busted for not carrying passport
PATTAYA: -- Korean is mistaken for an illegal immigrant after tip off and taken to the Police Station to be fined 500 Baht for not having an ID on him
On October 12th at 10.00 pm at the Red Ant Restaurant, Police received a tip off that an illegal immigrant was on the premises. They arrived at the restaurant and spoke to the owner of the Korean owned business, Mrs. Tae Yeelee (41), and a relative of hers, Mr. Kim Sung (47).
Officers asked the man to produce his passport, which he explained he didn't have on him, so he was taken to Banglamung Police Station. A short time later Mrs. Yeelee arrived with his passport which was in order, indicating that his status was legal.
However, and this may be of some interest to foreigners, he was fined 500 Baht for not carrying sufficient ID. So although many people are reluctant to carry their passports with them, it is a good idea to get a copy made of it, with your current visa stamps on the back, perhaps miniaturised into a wallet sized laminate, which can be done for 150 Baht at any film processing shop. It could save you time, embarrassment and money.
