    Spend about 4 months in a row once and do come back a couple of times a years as my wife's family lives there and we own a couple of businesses there. Didn't want to stay there as I wanted my kids to have a good education followed by a good, well paying job.

    Thailand isn't dirt poor, there are very poor areas. Booze ban isn't for 6 days.

    Most people who work in the private sector, don't get these last moment freebies. Government workers mostly

    Kings birthday, there is always alcohol same as Father's day.

    Download the QueQ app on your phone, you can make appointments for several services. Pick Vaccination Center, when you open it, it will show locations near you. Pick one and make an appointment. For me it was free.

    Why would you buy a position? Qualified people can get a job without paying. Will you be paying for promotions too?

    Loads of companies had / have problems because of the Covid situation and are in recovery mode. This comes with reorganizations and cutting costs.

    She WILL win in court. Your company will have to fight the lawyers of the Labor Department not the employee. The person responsible for the illegal action could actually facing jail time. HR in general shts their pants for the Labor Department. Just bluff poker from your company.

    110K is nothing out of the ordinary.

    Stupid baiting comment. From the OP: "Thailand is set to enjoy an extra-long SIX day weekend this weekend"

    What you need to know is that people in most companies work on July-31 and August-2

    Yes, Western countries never did that / are doing that of course.
  13. FritsSikkink
    Yes, it is Thai / Russian bashing as you don't have a problem with Western countries invading Arab countries.

    Do some (volunteering) work. Learn (Thai) or something else. Sport / exercise.

    If they sign a new contract on a yearly basis for 6 years, the company would still have to pay severance for 6 years when the last contract isn't renewed. Labor office doesn't fall for this trick.

    Of course it is a lot quieter than in 2019, there were 40 million arrivals then.
  17. FritsSikkink
    Still go to the Labor office, they can help.
  18. FritsSikkink
    For managers in Thailand it is good to be a bit older.
  19. FritsSikkink
    Do NOT leave, that is what they are trying to force on her to avoid paying severance pay. Don't accept the pay cut and go to the labor office, they will help for free. No need to hire a lawyer. Get the severance pay and then find a new job.

    A good tenant wouldn't go to a forum to ask if it is ok to trash the place. "it is just a lease", easy for you to say as you don't run it. Empty for 3 years, so the owner had problems during Covid too.

    He starts the nonsense by not completing his contract. What are you on about?
  22. FritsSikkink
    Never had a problem too.
  23. FritsSikkink
    No, he is the one ripping off. He signs a long lease and get discount on the rent. Then for whatever reason he wants shorten the lease and still enjoy the discounted rent.
  24. FritsSikkink
    You should involve the police to get your deposit back IF that is still needed as you are not honoring the contract you signed. This cheating on the signed contract causes damages to the rental company. You are out of your mind to even think of damaging other people's property willfully.

    Most people just need to work.
