It is smart to charge him with immigration overstay before moving to charge him for the crimes with the 7 different victims.  In that manner they can fully coordinate with the victims who are probably in different areas of Thailand and possibly one or more victims may now be out of the country.

This also will give them more time to get full confessions from the suspect in return for promise to decrease incarceration time when he will be sentenced.

Any foreigner who is stupid enough to do a crime while an ex pat is even more stupid to do it in Thailand. 

Hit up YouTube videos for "foreigners in Thai prisons" if you not believe. 

This fat obese French idiot serial criminal will shed probably 30+ kilos along with his life in Thai prison.

Justice well served.

Plot twist: Maybe he has tried everything he can to shed weight - diet, exercise etc but none of them works and after watching youtube videos of foreigners in Thai prisons losing weight he figured his best chance would be to end up in prison himself.
