I know lots of Foreigners that have taken their Thai girlfriends to England for a holiday and stayed there and got work. one is teaching English in a public school another is a waitress in a country hotel and another one works in a bakery.. I speak to them most weeks on FB. they used to by my students in a private language school years ago.
The last 3 months I have been getting 2 bills for the elecy bill, both same date, same amount, same address, but about 5 days apart. Wife has been to the PEA, they just say ignore it. They didn't seem interested in how, why, or who saw behind it!
Maybe these two weren't paid for. Working without a work permit is up to 5 years in prison OR B2,000 to B100,000 fine. for both employee and employer. But the employer usually gives a tip.
The audacious endeavor came to light last night, revealing that Saranwee Kwanpetch managed about 50 girls across multiple locations in London, all while he was supposed to be under Home Office surveillance. This tells anyone that he wasn't working only. There is a very large Thai Maffia contingent in London. They extort money from the Thai communities, mainly the restaurants and Thai owned businesses. As for being a crime. Most if not ALL the girls working for him, and his bosses would have their passports removed. Plus, it states he was reported as an overstayer by a customer. Doubt that very much, more like he was getting too Creedy or he pissed someone off.
I was thinking the same myself. My wife's dashcam records front and rear. Something she doesn't want people to see. Plus, the first officer classed it as 50/50. It's the trend now since the 2 incidents with the Swiss guys.
I paid for the wife to have driving lessons and her full drives license. Then bought her a car. Now she drives me everywhere we go.... shopping, camping trips, immigration. Plus, I never have to worry about drinking and driving.
I would say that is correct. I think all the major investors like Toyota, JVC, Chaing, and all the others Pay large amounts of tax and their employees, as it will be deducted by the company. But as for the local's market stall, food vendors and even rental houses and apartments. I doubt it very much.
I was in a lift (yesterday) in a local shopping mall. I was at the back of about 12 people. as my floor approached, I softly said excuse me (in Thai) as I made my way to the front. As I was leaving, I said thank you (again in Thai) 3 of the people in the lift responded by thanking me for being polite, (in Thai of course) I am ALWAYS polite, but I have never been thanked for being polite, so may have something to do with the present news reports.
