Thai media has reported the arrest on overstay of a 63 year old Australian pensioner. He was hiding out in a quiet country village in #Thailand’s rural north east.
But 63 year old Mr Daniel proved no match for immigration’s BMW Smart car after he was snitched on by fellow villagers.
INN reported that the “hiding kangeroo” told arresting officers that he hoped by keeping a low profile he would avoid detection.
The media said that Region 4 immigration had received a tip that a foreigner was wandering about in the Khanun area of Sisaket, though the informant did not know the man’s actual address.
The BMW smart patrol car was sent in to investigate and a man later identified as Mr Daniel was seen walking in Ban Na Sai village.
A check of his passport showed he had an extension stamp from early last year. But he was now on overstay of 356 days.
He reportedly admitted his wrongdoing. He said that he hoped by hiding out in a small, rural village and avoiding built up areas and big cities he would go unnoticed.
He was handed over to the local police for processing.
A vinyl board had a heading indicating that the suspect was a “hiding kangeroo” and INN referred to the arrested man as “from the land of kangeroos” in their headline. – INN
