The type of control that you are referring to is in your head. 

Emergency = Control of the virus.  Still, perhaps you're partly right. ???? 

That is your opinion in my head no different than your opinion being in your head. It is just a opinion there is no facts etc what is factual is at times people respond and think their opinion is actual fact and still to the end with that theory. 

See they continue with this Emergency the Virus gives them the excuse when it might just be to keep things in order declare a lockdown, and to keep the protest in check of course that is just a theory in my head which is really no different than yours except you just don't want to believe it?

Maybe they should investigate the Bank Of Prayut accumulation of 200,000,000,000 baht 

In the beginning he could barely afford tissue to wipe his butt now he has someone doing it for him and holding his dick at the same time.????

Today you have lots of paint being used and more signs but the problem no one knows what these things actually mean and those who are supposed to enforce is part of the group from leaders, judges, police none of them ever been taught properly so the problems continue because the police will be judge and jury instead of applying the law and moving it forwards to the courts.

The solution, the insurance will make the pay out and the BIB will be just happy with that because they actually think they have solved the problem when in fact they are the problem.

This should have been done years ago!  there are reason it hasn't all the noise now is to please the public something is going to be done then like always slip it under the rug.

When they find him will he have to contact the Thai Embassy and go through all the hoops to get back in will he stay in a 5 star plus 14 day quarantine accommodation then release back to Mama?

I guess no one ever gave him a reality talk you are a aircraft mechanic not a jet fighter pilot!

Sorry couldn't help myself R.I.P. this wasn't his first time but it will be his last thankfully no one else got hurt or killed.

The only thing that stopped me buying a Ford is that they have had continual engine issues and the 1.9 turbo or bi turbo is relatively unproven & after Chevrolet pulling out and Ford pulling out of the car market there was a high risk factor. I ended up buying an ISUZU as engine reliability was my no 1 criteria. 

I didn't think the Ranger made a 1.9 are you still talking about a truck?

Prime example that " Government can't run anything " Thailand immigration in this case. What is there to investigate what you want to see the stains on their underwear by delaying. 

You need the money who cares why they still want to stay it isn't for the beaches most likely they feel safe here so appreciate it. It has been free so far now charge 1900 a pop and let those who want to stay spend the baht you need whether they are here illegal or not stop this nonsense wonder why the youth are getting restless? ????

I'm a bit confused to the posting? it sounds like the op is in Thailand then it sounds if he isn't?  Said he talked to Immigration tough to do so if outside Thailand if not impossible?  Then there is reference he is on a Embassy extension letter? Then he said he talked to an Agent assume it was a Thai doesn't other wonder where his location might be?

In all the years here I've never had a problem opening a Bank account whether I was a tourist or living here as I'm doing now.

In the last 3 years I've used two sources to transfer large amount of money Transferwise and through my account with Brokerage Charles Schwab each time in these amounts $15,000 twice $30,000, $30,000 all came over as International Transfer with my account at Bangkok Bank. With all Transfer I just listed for Medical Expenses.

In all the years of transferring money I've only been stopped once or lets say a delay was transferring $250,000 USD from one of my property sales but the title company who wired the money clear it up in a few seconds with the bank. If it is legit it isn't anything you need to worry about just don't do huge amounts like $75,000 or over?

How you or other view these agents is another issue but it sounds familiar to me. I know a number of people who don't have the 800,000 baht, but they do have an account and use agents like this what they do is move their money into your account to show the 800,000 baht after they obtain your Extension they move it back out how they get away with the seasoning is by paying Tea money that will come with you fee.

Suing in Thailand?  IS THAT A BIG JOKE?????????????

In this case stupidity is both ways when things are done the last minute especially in Thailand like a box of chocolate you just don't know what you are going to get so when you wait to the last week hoping hoping you get there 100 people no patience it could seem like a thousand?????

I got a Toyota Hilux 2018 to be honest have no idea when I purchased it nothing was said just went in and told to pull up to the Diesel pump then one day pull up all there had was B10 since then I just thought they changed the name to B10 been using it since. Since first using B10 I've never noticed any problems or power difference so I be worried?

The big talks of the last couple of weeks whereby the government will hand out billions in aid and assistance to the poor was just that, a big talk, hot air and lip service for every one to hear but NOT SEE...

When they refer to the poor it isn't in regards to 98% it is for the 2%  all this talk about help, borrowing money to do it, their economy seem to have tank but their baht is getting stronger by the day maybe it is true because of the rich?  I live in a village with poor average Thais all around me and I've not heard one get any aid.

What on earth are you dribbling on about.... arguing for the sake of arguing has you now on my ignore list.

 

Goodbye.

What took so long?  A man child who started the arguing with his " 30 days paid " sticking with it driving the conversation out of the range of the original question ask by the poster which he was looking for a solution to an employee maybe abusing the sick policy which I believe was given by me yet you are so anal you are stuck on the 30 days and continue to argue with it. I guess if you were running a business you would bend over and take it with a read hot poker for unlimited 30 day of pay that is clearly your solution.???????? thank god I'm on your ignore list.

How does it feel when your conversation is taken out of context, the table is turned isn't it frustrating?  Yes ignore Goodbye!

Which part of "paid" in my post went over your head, or do you not know what the opposite without pay is ?

 

 

 

OK, if you want to be right I guess you can just add on to your post now knock yourself out!

But in your original post to me #17 " there is no mention of unlimited " which there is and you assume my remarks that it meant unlimited paid which isn't the case " exceed 30 days must present a Doctor note "  you are wrong here because it states after 3 days!

 

We can go on that is your choice but I won't be using the word " tangent " to your responses. In the end the moderator will get tired and delete the Thread  that will be your doing not mines so before that happens I'm jumping ship captain crunch.

Maybe you should google before going of on a tangent but thanks or confirming what I posted.

Agree to disagree!  You being a bit of a hypocrite?

First before you jump into the conversation maybe look in the mirror and see where it started instead of coming in after the conversation then you seem not to be able to comprehend when that prior to my comment regarding the " unlimited " didn't come from me and my response didn't required me to google at all because it didn't really matter one bit to the response to another poster.

I posted because as I noted one said " unlimited " you said 30 days after my post I was interested in seeing what was in the Thai Labor law and actually found out and doesn't confirm your remarks you should have been more specific that the other poster noted " unlimited " he was right and wrong it is only for 30 days that it is paid and you are right and wrong that it is " unlimited " but only 30 days is paid which you didn't note or even know.

You responded to me not I, because you don't like what you hear it is a " tangent " on my part thanks for confirming you have and need to be right but I'm not going to say " tangent " but your responses are your opinion you might want to learn never too late in excepting others opinion and label them!

Thai labour laws stipulate 30 paid sick days, there is no mention of "unlimited" but if they have exceeded the 30 and present a doc cert there is not a lot you can do cause if your fire them the labour court is gunna bend you over and do you raw with no lube.

First I'm not the one who stated " unlimited " just the fact that one stated " unlimited " another "30 days" indicated no one has actually read the print although this is Thailand Labor laws are pretty simple they don't just say " unlimited " or " 30 days " and allow employees to do as they please thus forcing the employer to bend over and do the raw not even in Thailand.

Labor law is pretty simple including how to settle cases without going into court which in Thailand I seriously doubt their court system can handle the load of such cases most likely have a system like the West in " Arbitration " and if this guy dig will would find previous rulings that can guide him in establishing his policy on this matter which based on his own posting doesn't seem to know at all so that being the case he is already bending over without even firing anyone.

Employees aren't as smart as they think in labor what they usually think is they are slick even in Thailand. I'm not saying a employer should abuse an employee but a employer does have the right to ask for a simple explanation from the employee and if not stipulated in Labor Law "Any Doctor" then the employer can required the note to NOT come from one of those clinics like the required for ones Driver license where you walk in hand them 100 baht and out in one second! 

In the end, like I said I don't run a business in Thailand for reason such as this but if I did if an employee needed to use that many sick day in private I would be sitting them down to find out why and if the reason is legit I would be glad to help if not if an employee has the balls to get hired and start such a pattern labor law or not I would easily find a " performance " reason to rid that employee!

I just did a quick Google of the Thai labor law.  It states " unlimited " but only 30 days of pay, 3 days or more employer can request employee to produce a certificate from a qualify Doctor just that wording I find some room for interpretation.

I find the number of days for sick is very generous not surprising from a country like Thailand but I also find in reading there is a lot of way to get rid of an employee too!

Thai labor law guarantees unlimited sick days, did you know that? So long as the employee can provide a doctor's note.

Thanks, I didn't know that because I have no intend of starting or running a business here in lazy Thailand but if I did I would surely know that it is unlimited and after getting over the shock I would start to find the fine print as to why and how to prevent the abuse. If it isn't noted in their labor laws or is  outlined I would surely create my own company policy to outline how it should be applied. Although in Thailand no country is going to dictate all the terms that will put an employer like this guy in a position of not making money! 

As you noted " Doctors note " is a start if it doesn't say where I will dictate after a certain numbers of sick calls that the employee must see a Doctor not at a clinic but a Private hospital that itself the cost should put a stop or slow down the calls.

Even here in Thailand there are restrictions to those " unlimited " as I said If I was running a business I would have known it but since I don't never needed to take the time!  But would be interesting to see the Thai Labor Law regarding this issue?  There is always a loop hole!

????

You are running a business and asking this type of question!  You should have an employee policy stating conduct of behavior, number of vacations with sick days per year paid. A level of enforcement for policy violation based on your post not only is your employee out of control the reason you got none look in the mirror.

Amazing Thailand! The land of smiles or is it!

Another hair dye idea that goes not where!  First you want everyone that has been getting a free ride September 26th, to go home. if it is about money just tack on a fee/charge call it what you want for them to stay and continue to spend as they have been spending. Why would you come up with another program after they leave 90 days extension for 2000 baht a pop. One poster page one said " leave then apply back again " if a person in leadership or any person with any logic in their Cortex would put two and two together the restrictions are still in place, C.O.E. testing, NO SCHEDULE FLIGHTS, before you even get quarantine.

For those who want to stay been here prior charge them 3000 baht for 90 extensions and thereafter 2000 a pop or a flat rate of 7000 baht for the full 270 days.

All these so call programs all these so call projections of people that are coming in get real. All smoke and mirrors, wake up and smell the coffee, grasping for straws with no substance in any of your so call programs!  no critical thinking as to how thinks work in the real world.
