From Andrew Drummond, Bangkok, March 14 2009
Thai Immigration officers said they would deport (Sunday) two blacklisted convicted child sex abusers who were caught in Thailand after following the trail of Gary Glitter.
Thomas Hadley, 58, from Petersfield, Hants, and Peter Nielson, 66, from Sheffield will be escorted on a flight from Bangkok after being arrested in the Thai resort of Pattaya, 100 miles east of the Thai capital, on a warrant issued by 
British police through Interpol.
Thai Immigration Police Lt. Pol.Colonel Arnonnat Kamonrat said today the men, had a record between them of committing more than ten offences in the United Kingdom.
Hadley (left) had previously been sentenced in England to nine years in prison, for sexually abusing children, possession of child porn, and receiving stolen goods. Nielson (below right) had been jailed for seven years, both for sexual abusing children, and downloading pornographic images of children.
“They had also gone to Cambodia where we believe they had committed similar offences, “ he added. “We believe they intended doing the same here in Thailand.
“These men have been blacklisted from returning to Thailand ever again,” he added.
Because Thailand had blacklisted the men they have no right to appeal against extradition.
Thai Immigration Police had traced the two men first to the island of Sri Racha, off Thailand’s eastern seaboard, and finally to the Aree Apartment block in Pattaya yesterday afternoon.
They were in breach of notification and reporting requirements in the UK. But they had apparently left Britain comparatively easily.
Last August former glam rock star Gary Glitter was deported from Vietnam after serving a three year sentence for sexually abusing young girls there. He had previously been to Cuba, Thailand and Cambodia.
As he was transferring through Bangkok he attempted to make an escape via Hong Kong, but the Hong Kong authorities deported him back to Thailand. The Thai authorities deported him to England and he has now been placed on the paedophile register and blocked from travelling abroad.

Typical British Sex Tourist……maybe they should have come
under the guise of Martial art students on holidays, then old
AD would have their backs.
Sam: These ones I am not sad to see go. The question is how did they get leave the UK? If they arrived as martial arts instructors no doubt thei cover would have been blown.
