    I don't understand why people get scared. It clearly states that only those who violate the laws will be under threat and punished. Of course this is nothing new.. these rules and regulations have been here for ever. We all know that we have to abide by our contract with employers and have proper work permits and Visas. If this is implemented strictly then it is goodbye for several cheap Charlies disguised as teachers and advisers just extending their holidays .. 

    Be careful when mowing your lawn or doing any repairs outside at your house!

    The way I read this the legislation is aimed at the Thai employers, not the foreign workers. I welcome it if, for example, it persuades school directors to provide the documentation and assistance needed by foreign teachers working at their schools in order to help them get their work permits. I've lost count of the number of stories I've read about foreign teachers struggling to get "legal" because the school they teach at won't help them to get a work permit - I've been in that situation in the past too.

     

    If the law is enforced against schools and school directors (as employers) then it might also result in a clear out of any unsuitably qualified teachers as they will find it more difficult to satisfy the requirements to obtain a work permit - meaning the schools decide not to employ them; instead schools who want a foreign teacher will be forced to hire suitably qualified teachers and pay the rate that those teachers fetch on the market. 

    I understand your argument, but a Thai director of a government school will certainly not have to pay 800,000 baht or go to jail.
    The problem with the non-registered foreign teachers could certainly be solved differently.
    The problem are the undifferentiated work laws here.
    With this law is certainly not achieved such a goal, more on the contrary.
    The law opens the door for corrupt officials who are now able to go on extortion hunting.

    I really do not understand this unfriendly behavior. It seems that we are not allowed to have a normal life, such as family and job to support your Thai wife and children. ANY Thai who come to the Western world is welcomed and given the chance to get a job and make a honest living. I used to be a carpenter, I am not allowed to work. Even it would be 6.000 baht/month.

    So true and annoy me.
    If a Thai wife, for example, has a restaurant and her foreign husband helps her to shop and carry the heavy drinks boxes,
    the married couple is then in danger of getting high fines up to 800,000 Baht plus prison for it.
    And there are unfortunately many money-loving officials who do not miss something like that.
    I could puke.
    A legislation which is clearly directed against foreigners married with Thais.
    It's time to pack the bags.

  4. Given the floor for 10 minutes at the end of a Brussels summit dinner ....

     

    ... May left immediately afterwards, leaving the other 27 to discuss other Brexit issues without her.

     

    Must be a shit feeling for May.

    The EU, especially Grupenfuhrer Merkel, keep picking over TM's citizenship offer, but have.still not given any assurances about Brits living in the EU countries.

    TM tried to sort this out with the fat frau just after the Brexit vote but was dismissed out of hand.

    I'd like to see a positive outcome from these talks but it seems impossible to negotiate with these EU types.

    I dread it but in the end I think we'll just have to walk. That's if parliament oks it.

     

    What do you expect here? That the Brexit is regulated in a 10 minute side talk.

    That is naive bar stool thinking.

    It appears it doesn't matter what this government achieves ....   you just want to whinge.

    Why not try to enjoy life ... 

    Sad that every day is met with bitterness ....  why live here ...

    Why do you prescribe others bitterness? Have you ever come to the idea that others pay taxes here, work here, raise children here and have thai families? 

    And do you think that people who ask public spending money love less thailand than uncritical yes sayers?

    .very true..

     

    An article here abroad, bought up the topic of how many customers a hooker made. The lady interviewed stated that she stopped at 10 clients per day.

     

    For the cost conscious, er rates were the equivalent of around US$ 160/short time plus extras...

     

    In elementary mathematics, this means 300 clients per month approximately or 3'600 fellas per year, or 7'200 clients approx. in 2 years, assuming she worked by Thai standards of 7/7, which I doubt it....Consequently, having 5'000 clients, gullible or whatever,  seems more then plausible, under Thai working shifts!!!

    10 customers a day, very few can do that.
    There must be a real thick cornea underneath.
    I know some data from the superstars in Bangkok gogos.
    Mean 3 customers per day are also 900-1000 per year
    5 years hardcore and you have 5000.
    At half speed the 5000 latest are completed in 10 years.
    Anyway, I like experienced women but as a long-term relationship or as a marriage material, such women are absolutely inappropriate.

    You do know that she is telling BS.

    It is a scam like another.

     

    She is trying to get girls to pay her for pimping them out to online dating profiles. I bet out in the country you have many of gullible women that will
    believe her shit.

     

    5000 men means she is has been doing LT every day, with  daily another man for 14 years.

    5000 is not uncommon for a girl with very open legs and long-term presence in the horizontal trade.

    This country will always be in the dark ages with a school system like this.

    The whole education system is really sad.
    Many teachers also sell quite unashamedly
    their after school lessons.
    I know a case where, a teacher deliberately does not fully explain the math problems in the regular teaching time,
    and says that students who want to have a good grade will get the stuff explained in her paid 
    after school lessons.:post-4641-1156693976:
