You are wrong. You do get sent straight to detention and the conditions there are terrible. Then they take you from detention and escort you to the plane for deportation. And that's if you're lucky and you're able to pay the fees and for the deportation flight. There are some people who get stuck in the detention for months and even years Under no circumstances would they just let you out and hope you show up to court like they do in the US If that sounds ridiculous just Google it, there's plenty of evidence to back it up including a really recent report where somebody smuggled in a phone to take pictures of the terrible conditions Example: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14303933/brit-tourist-thai-prison-conditions-filthy.html https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14303933/brit-touri... https://www.ladbible.com/news/world-news/thailand-laws-explained-overstaying-visa-ellis-matthews-518364-20250317 https://www.ladbible.com/news/world-news/thailand-laws-expla...
