ORIGINAL POSTERDEPORTED FOR WORKING ON WRONG EXTENSION AND NO WORK PERMIT
Just for information - "D___ G___ is being transferred to Bangkok this afternoon.
Apparently it stemmed from a complaint that he was working without permit.
Talk is that the complainant appears to have 'influence.' The apprehension was coordinated by a number of departments according ". Now this happened in Sakon Nakhon in Isaan , not a big town by any stretch. Just shows that the clampdown is all over the country. He will now be deported back to Germany, obviously his wife etc is all here !

TLDR : Answer Summary
A recent incident highlighted an expat being deported from Thailand for working without a proper work permit. This event, occurring in Sakon Nakhon, reflects a wider crackdown on illegal employment across the country, indicating that enforcement is not limited to major cities. The situation emphasizes the importance of adhering to visa regulations and having the appropriate work permits in Thailand, especially following recent updates to labor laws.

I think the point of the post is it's now deportation rather than simply a fine as it was before they updated the Labor laws earlier this year.
